  1. This is Kyrie’s time to show the he deserves a max contract and to continue to shut up the haters

  2. Even tho I’m such both fans of these 2 great teams right now in eastern conference standings and now that the nets are going to be miss there star for a month and Kyrie and Ben and the rest of the team has to step up 👏🏼👏🏼💪🏽

  3. We pretty much know what Kyrie is gonna go for! Like he’s gonna give his all to carry…. But imo Ben has to play with way more intensity! Doesn’t mean shooting either… just even better defense… Playmaking has to be even better!!! I’m talking double Double regardless of his points! Has to do his best Draymond impression😅 cuz he can still be really good imo but he’s gotta go harder

  4. Nets getting more coverage since Kd got injured than they did during their winning streak lol

  5. I'd like to see Ben avg 20pts and 10ast during this stretch but i dont know if he can

  6. Ben Simmons needs to show up here man, he might not average 20 but that has more to do with the way he plays rather than his own ability. 3 drives a game is nowhere near enough, he’s gonna need to get back to Philly level of aggressiveness. I personally think he doesnt drive because of being able to hide behind KD and Kyrie, but now we’ll find out the answer

  7. We don’t respect the opinion or the reporting of Nick Friedel. He should not be allowed to speak on the Brooklyn Nets or Kyrie Irving.

  8. Which Nets player has to step up the most in the absence of Kevin Durant? … EVERYONE. This is not a Ben Simmons or Kyrie show, this is team effort. Almost everyone has offensive prowess. Curry, Cam Thomas, TJ Warren, Yuta.

  9. We getting more coverage than we did during the win streak. Proving KD's and the Nets point about the media coverage.

  10. Nets first game in 4 days. Celtics on back to back with 3 in 4. I dunno what to make of tonight.

  11. You have to put in more time and effort than anyone else is willing to. No one is going to hand that dream to you. If you want to have it, you have to get up and grind for it.

  12. Ben Simmons has to step up more. We already know what Kyrie brings. Ben needs to add scoring to his game over this period with KD being out. I think Kyrie is going to be pushing him to do it. Ben always shoots in shootarounds, but never in games. He's gotta start shooting in the games. Just start with the midrange.

  13. They doing all this coverage on the nets like they gone win it all or sum

  14. Boy do they feed on negativity lol seem more coverage in the last two days about this one topic vs their win streak

  15. Of course Ben Simmons has to step up more. His 6 points per game isnt cutting it.

  16. It'll be a collective effort but Simmons needs to pick up the scoring responsibility which he can do and has demonstrated this season before he got injured

  17. No joke. If Kyrie wasn't in a contract year, he'd make some BS excuse to bail on the Nets as soon as KD tore his MCL.

  18. Herw we go again. When things were going well, the media was quiet, but now that they snell problem, they’re out.

  19. All I know that when Kyrie played with LeBron he was going to the finals every year. He has not succeeded with Durant….
