Man idc bout none of what Chris Broussard said the Lakers aren’t playing either because of injuries same for the Nuggets and so many other teams and you showed them no sympathy but because it’s KD your being nice 🙄
I don't know about that. But some analysts, or at least most of them wrote off the Lakers because of injuries, also the Nuggets because of injuries. They also sorta wrote off Philly because Embiid wasn't a 100%. The Suns are almost a lock to make it to the Finals, they're not scrubs. Sure injuries to the opposing teams really helped and they probably wouldn't make it past the 1st round if the Lakers were healthy or the second round if the Nuggets were healthy or maybe lose in the West Finals if the Clippers were healthy. But we can't really blame the healthy team. We can only blame the injuries. Sidenote: I just obviously wanted to hamfist that Suns joke.
Broussard picked the Lakers to win the west. He said the only way they don’t make it is if AD or Lebron isn’t healthy. When AD went down he said “it’s not fair to expect Lebron to carry them past Phoenix or the other teams in the west”. So he has the same energy with the Lakers as he is with the Nets. Some of you guys are too emotional
I guess, but without James, they would've been a 6th or 7th seed. Let's not forget Harden held them together when KD and Kyrie were taking their midseason break.
@@young5ive426 he got crucified after losing in 2015 without kyrie and K love against a better GS team. If KD is not gonna be held to the same standard as LeBron than let’s end the “best player in the world talk”
@@jal740 this,, I was anti Lebron back in 2015 then he lost 2 stars, I was like im gonna root for the underdog w/c is CLE, but they Lost. So next year it happened again, my OKC got trashed by GSW on game 7 so it automatically puts me to want Lebron to win. I was so glad lebron got his CLE title back then, but then KD had to move to GSW. Automatically I became a GSW fan. In reality I am a fan of player, this time around its KD 6 yrs+ now before it was KOBE.
@Shadin El-kasheef that’s fine for them, but far too many ppl (not media) mistake KD for the beat player in the world then turn around and give him passes when he fails. If LeBron has that supporting cast against that same bucks team he’s getting it done, there’s zero excuses for KD.
Yea he averaged 32-13-4 on 56%fg….I mean he always does that but that game 7 he was calm cool and collected and game up clutch he needs his props for that
@@AceTheCap823 he doesn’t always do that, last two years in the rounds he lost he averaged 22 points. He averaged 32-11-5 and went off game 7 so he did better than normal
@@GabrielMartinez-tn8ew I mean I was speaking on his general stats he usually is 28-32 pts, 11-14 Rebs, and 4-6 asts but yu right…tho in that Miami series in 2020 he got hurt game 3 and had 19 pts in 10 mins in game 4 before he got hurt that’s why his stats went down, 2019 tho yu right he was just not good last 4 games 23-15-7 but on 43%fg vs the raptors
@@user-le9ou9ed9z his mid range game been on point this series also he does this against teams with good interior defense too😭😭look at how well he does vs the Sixers and Jazz😭😭
Hold KD to the same standard as Lebron if you want to call him the best. 0 fgs in overtime and an airball to win the game? "Lebron's LeGaCy iS In DAnGer". Ridiculousness
are you kidding me? the lakers supporting cast is a billion times better. schroeder, drummond, KCP, THT, caruso, gasol, maclemore, harrell are all a billion times better than the nets' next best guy after injuries.
@@stephenpamon4162 it wasn't a failure. What was the failure was the sulking after JR's blunder and quitting in OT. Had he displayed leadership and they still lost - no harm, no foul, you were just overmatched. But that was not the case and that's what he was being criticized for
Disrespect on bucks in crazy. This was not their best series and Middleton continues to be disappointing. Giannis, for all his faults, is not being a good shooter, but he did what an MVP does and led MKE against a team who was poised to win - on the road in a 7 game series. Giannis also has the most pressure right now. Bucks has to be the favorite to win. No Lakers, Nets, Philly, etc. Giannis, all eyes on you buddy.
Middleton was not disappointing to be fair. Bucks overall played bad first two games, including Giannis who settled big time. After that K-Midd was really good. Played like an All-Star. He averaged 24 points 8 rebounds 4 assists 2 steals in 7 games.
Look K you right to a level but if Giannis going to be legendary aside from his humbleness he needs to shoot better. And I agree that Middleton is disappointing based on his ceiling but if you look at tape from both this year and last here he is the one saving them shooting wise. Holiday is a progressive bump but I think a part of him is lost. So I say Bucs potentially are super nasty but they ain't there. An injured Nets are better but coaching paid a huge factor. Injuries happen that's why u got 11 players. Ty lue, spo, and pop are the best coaches right now
@@kg4434 the bucks were much bigger and decided to shoot threes...they also stuck a much shorter holiday on Durant who's known to pull up. Had the bucks stuck with what they're good at you're right it wouldn't have went to seven
There’s a difference between carrying a team and being the best player on a team… So far KD’s only experienced one of the two, but it’s possible he’ll carry a team some day…
@@kayg7195 that doesn’t make sense as an argument. Everybody knows the bucks we’re less injured and Giannis has more help. The point is that we’ve seen Lebron beat teams that were better than his team. Teams that were more talented, you can’t ALWAYS have the advantage. If you are going to be known as “better than lebron” you gotta show us something more than just “I can out score giannis by 8 points”

Well tbf LeBron was the one talking about "A thunderstorm is coming" and "These shoulders were made like this for a reason" or something like that, so he kinda brought that backlash on himself lol
The fact that lebron even is getting injured is evidence of the age man, lebron was an iron man like no other iron man. Lebron is way out of his prime, he is still easily a top 3 player in the league because when you’re half way down Everest, you’re still higher than most peaks on the planet, but his defense isn’t what it used to be, his athleticism isn’t what it used to be, and, most glaring, his health isn’t what it used to be
@@bryanfoster326 I agree with almost everything you just said. Bron's injury wasn't a natural injury like the groin or a common sprain a grown man tackled his ankle it don't matter if Bron was 26 or 36 he would've been injured regardless maybe you could argue he would've came back to 100% better or faster but even that is iffy cause high ankle sprains keep 25 year old RBs out for MONTHS I don't think NBA fans and analysts understand how significant of an injury that is. Guys like Skip Bayless and SAS were trying to say Bron faked the injury smh. As for his defense before injury he lead the ENTIRE LEAGUE in defensive rating and win shares, and his opponent field goal percentage was amazing not to mention he was top 3 or 5 in DPOY voting before injury and 1st in MVP athleticism is decling slightly but he's still more athletic than about 80% of the league. His health is still all time great but obviously because of age his body isn't healing the way it used to.
Come on, nobody gives Steph and Lebron slack if their teams get injured. There is no should coulda woulda in professional sports. Either you win or lose.
@@ameerkinnarath8568 have a lot of respect for him doing something like this with his mental health history, seems like the worse job to do in that position. Fair play to Brandon

Oh, now we want to be rational about how we judge players' performance. No Chris and nick. You would have killed Lebron it's time to either start killing these other guys how you did Lebron or just don't compare guys to Lebron, coaching was never a problem or a pass for Lebron.
Yea I felt his point to but nah I’m not gonna be rational because these people won’t be rational when it comes to Lebron so I’ll be irrational right along with them and KD as the best player in the world should have won that game because Lebron for 16 years has been expected to win these games regardless of the roster or injuries he’s had
Nah bruh they had KD “The Best Player In The League” injuries or not y’all expected LBJ to carry the Lakers with no co star & no shooters, KD still had one leg Harden & a deep bench.
He took some straight garbage teams to the finals lol. Crazy if you go back and look at the cavs 1.0 and then cavs again after Irving left. Those teams didn’t even deserve to be in the playoffs lol yet he took them to the finals and usually scorched the East.

Kyrie got into a freak accident, Harden literally playing with a bad hamstring and Joe Harris turned into Ben Simmons, it's surprising it even went 7 games
KD needed to win two games only he won two with two superstars. He had Harden the equivalent of JR Smith or Shumpert, they also played a one man team stop with the excuses because Milwaukee was missing threes galore as they never have in the last three post seasons, it’s authoring KD couldn’t win 2 out of 4 games.
Funny how no one was really talking injuries and players missing shots when the Lakers got knocked out by the Phoenix Refs 🤔. Now all of a sudden because everybody wanna make excuses for KD they’re talking injuries. 🥴 It’s cool though, I’m sure KD will add another HOFer for next season. Now all of sudden because the Nets lost it’s a good thing? 😩😂. You said they would win it all since they got Harden.
@@peterblacksmith3817 People we’re still shitting on LeBron and making fun of him for finally losing in the first round even though the Suns only won because of injuries lol now everyone wants to feel bad for KD na
The Nets got what they deserved for treating the regular season and competition with the disdain that they did - you have to respect THE PROCESS. You can't put three guys together regardless of how good they are and expect them to win a 'ship first year. This was a victory for Basketball - if the Nets had won it all then it would have been a disaster.
It's not that I disagree with what you're saying but when you use the phrase "THE PROCESS"? every 76ers fans right now is on suicide watch because of the trust "THE PROCESS" 😂
The Celtics won it all they first year together. The warriors won it back to back with kd. What you talking about. They were injured so i knew they didnt have a chance in the playoffs.
James Harden's hamstring injury is karma for coming into the season out of shape and forcing his way out of Houston. I think he'll be ready next season. Bad Karma is Undefeated lol
Steve Nash did a horrible coaching job! Joe couldn't hit a skittle in the ocean, so he should've put Landry Shamet (whose a better defender) in the game, but he didn't! Bruce Brown should've been taken out for Nick Claxton, no way a 6'4 guard who can't shoot an outside, shot and only hitting those stupid floaters in the paint, should be in the game. Your a 6'4 guard, you should be able to shoot!!! Not only that at the end of the game, the Bucks got a few offensive rebound, one which led to a Jrue Holiday 3 pt shot. Had Claxton been in the game, u get that rebound and maybe that kd airball gets rebounded and put back, leading to a double OT.
Only reason why these bums were that close is because they don't play as a team...we had a smaller defender on kd...and the bucks kept shooting threes which isn't their best asset
@@BuffKangaroo1 Bingo! We talk all the time about who’s better old versus new school. These dudes aren’t smart enough to compete with the 80’s and 90’s NBA. KD is 6’ 11” and being guarded by a 6’ 5” guy. He’s catching the ball at half court and trying to score off 10 plus dribbles shooting contested shots. With any basketball IQ at all he’s catching the ball on the box turning and shooting over Tucker and there’s NOTHING he could do about it. Bird would have DESTROYED Tucker on 75 percent shooting easy and forced them to either switch assignments or double team him. Durant is skillful but doesn’t know how to play, that’s why they lost.

Lakers aren’t playing because of injury…..missed me with that. KD still had James harden who is maybe the 3rd best offensive player in the league. He doesn’t get a pass. KD lost to Giannis please don’t ignore Giannis 40 and 13 in a win or go home game. KD gets a pass for losing in the 2nd round lebron gets destroyed for losing without AD in the first. Lebron been to 10 finals KD been to 4 there’s levels. KD can’t get it done like lebron when they truly have to carry their respective team. Harden did the same thing game 7 in 2018 against GSW he’s not like that when the series is on the line. KD just couldn’t get it done in the 2ND ROUND. The Nets and the Lakers knew the cost of being a top heavy team injuries could derail them.
It's Definitely Levels And Besides 2007 All His Other Final Appearances Came With Superstar Help As Well. Sports Comes Down To Health Bro. And When Has LeBron Ever Played That Amount Of Minutes Over A 3 Game Stretch? Any Athlete Is Going To Run Out Of Gas, Especially When Your Supporting Cast Isn't Helping Out.
@@heemboy7572 did you really just ask that question? You're talking finals appearances....KD lost in the 2ND ROUND with James harden. Obviously it does come down to health. I'm being funny, I'm tryna sound ridiculous like the lebron haters if he comes up short. But still KD and harden were out there playing big minutes so at the end of the day they were out there and couldn't get it done. Please refer back to 2007 like you mentioned and 2018 whole playoff run to the finals where he scored 51 on KD but his team was out matched. I just give KD the same energy lebron gets since people wanna praise KD for losing a game 7 that they shoulda won. That 51 by lebron was a better performance in a more crucial situation but no one wants to mention that
I can't really understand the hostility between LeBron's fan, Net's fan and Buck's fan. KD make peace with his lost to the Bucks and even praised the Buck's for playing the right way, Giannis and the Bucks happily admitted that KD is the best player in the world, Lebron tweeted to remind us to appreciate KD's greatness. Yes, Bucks won the series might be on some part , being lucky having 2 of the the big 3 of the Nets is injured, but to be world champion, injury is a sign of miss management of regular season's fitness training regime and not been able to identify a possible injury to certain player with a certain body type and with certain skills. You can be as good as KD and lebron combined, but if your star player are only available for a game or two, you are not entitled to be called the best team in the sport. Also, as a Buck's fan, deeply felt that this win is not fair for KD and I feel sad for him. For now, KD is the best player in the world, considering now that Lebron is slowly waning into his last few years of Lebron's career. For Lebron's fan, please appreciate KD while he is at his best, who knows when we will see another talent like him or Lebron, ever. Don't compare them, just appreciate. KD scores at such tremendous rate and efficiency, all the opponent is actually at his mercy, while LeBron affected game in a more cerebral way. But both is unstoppable at their peak, and both of them deserves to be at the top 5 of the greatest ever played the game.
In all honesty i think the hostility from bucks fans is more towards the media than anything cause they keep on talking about everything and everyone else besides the Bucks. Lebron n KD fans always goin go at each other, that won't change. But as a bucks fan i would like to see someone in the media actually give praise to the bucks for winning, especially after they all said it was goin be a sweep after game 2. Giannis had 40, 13, n 5 in a game 7 n no one is talking about it
@sleeping bear well I won't argue if you say it that way, because its your freedom of thought and speech. But just for a food for thought, a die hard fan who are unconditionally supporting their team(or favorite player) is among the main reason of violent behavior, racism chant and the catalyst for unsportsmanlike conduct. While I do agree for all the hype, drama and entertaining, logical and rational observation must be maintained as most of the fans, we are all matured and a grown man and woman. If the"spice" you are referring to just to put salt into the loss of the Nets, or KD, or to undervalue the win by the Bucks, well it still up to you, but for these media so called analyst or talkshow spokesperson, they shouldn't be this biased to their favorite team when doing these shows. It creates those unwanted demand from the players, physically and mentally. I don't wanna see those players retired earlier than they should, because of those media and those hooligans pressured them into a non existent narrative which creates a physical and mental exhaustion to them.
@@jahmairtrott4635 well it is kinda sad, as the focus is more on KD than Giannis and the Bucks. I always hope they can really match up with all those Big 3 of the Nets healthy for entire series, and even if the Buck's do lose because Net have their all starpower available, at least It would be an honorable series and as a Buck's fan, we wanna them fight and win no matter what is the circumstances, and if we do lose, we at least go down swinging.
@@footvirtual9965 yeah they all talking bout kd, as a bucks fan i would of liked to see the nets fully fit but at the same time I'm not goin take away from what the bucks have done like how the media is seemingly doing.

@@fredrickmessado1597 overworked is a simple man working 9 to 5 man who has to do extra hours and 6 days a week to keep his family fed. he just had to carry them a series. alot of players have done that. Durant can t do it alone, he needs all the help in the world
All I hear is a bunch of excuses for Kevin Durant well I'm not giving him a pass as a superstar you're supposed to lead your team to victories correct he can't do it without two three or four other superstars would he just that simple yeah he can score all them points but can't get his team or win without all those other superstars but y'all trying to give him a pass I don't care what nobody say if that was wrong y'all are killing him on the show today so KD gets no excuses for me
Tbf I think it’s safe to say that KD ain’t like that, he ain’t a leader and everyone knows that. Yeah you have to blame KD but there’s a difference imo between him and other top guys. KD has never shown in his career that he can carry a team or lead a team. I’m not trying to defend him but it’s funny how people are ragging on him for not doing what he is not able to do. We rag on Lebron cause he’s on a different level then KD. We’ve seen him carry teams, but we’ve also seen him do what KD does and team up with superstars. Btw KD never had 3 or 4 superstars, 2 at max, maybe only one on golden state
@@UndeadPenutbutter you're proving my point my guy so how is KD considered the best in the world then if he can't carry a team like LeBron did and LeBron has done what he's doing I'm not even a LeBron whatever they call him I'm a Lakers fan to me Kobe is the goat so when I say these things about the difference between KD in LeBron people rip LeBron for the things KD should be doing too but when KD doesn't do it he doesn't get no blame ever and when he was in Golden State Kevin Durant had two of the greatest shooters of all time and a defensive player of the year in Draymond Green so you saying Steph Curry is not a superstar so you saying Klay Thompson is not a superstar she's saying that two-time defensive player of the year is not a superstar well what about Westbrook is West broker Superstar that's one but they also had Serge ibaka he's always had those kind of guys around him he is not a leader of a team so it makes me mad when people call him the best in the world yeah he's the best scorer I'm just saying my man but I do agree with some of the things you said though
Nick has a point. Coaching does matter. We can all agree this has nothing to do with KD he balled out. But you can't be losing overtime game 7's knowing your best player has played the entire game and you got the last possession and you don't call timeout. That was a coach mistake that could've won the game. Nash wasn't playing so he ain't the one tired lol
I love how anytime the camera goes to Wildes on this show, he does a little head tilt to make it look like he is thinking "🤔" 🤣🤣🤣 it's hilarious. It's everytime.
Y’all said Lebron should’ve done more and he was still recovering from that ankle injury!!!! KD was 100% and took that L with better role players than Lebron has had.
Nobody wants to hear these excuses!! When Lebron had to play the warriors in the finals with bums because kyrie and love were hurt and he still got 2 games on them. Did y’all give him there’s Excuses.
Bro this is nonsense if y’all are gonna be soft on KD then never criticize Lebron again! Like seriously!!! Nets without Kyrie are still a very good team. The team was stacked and they failed to deliver. That’s IT!
The first all star team to play in a sesson. Lol and still got excuses. They didn't even drill Leonard. It was George and Doc they attacked. And how long did they criticize Leonard. 3 days to lebron being criticized every time another superstar or star loses. Like why is lebron name being brought up when KD lost. Why the sympathy stick for KD but not lebron. Why everybody else team is better than lebron's but its only his fault when they lose. But it's because of injuries that KD lost. So lebron was hurt while playing still scoring his average and KD not hurt is only being praised for a tie game shot but not the 0-6 fgs or the airball. But lebron. Oh he didn't score or he missed free throws or he didn't play defense or he didn't takeover. Bias haters
But did you notice this whole video is about the Nets anyway? Broussard's whining makes this even better. Well, us Milwaukee fans are used to this. Nets got what they deserved. Fear the Deer!
Kevin Durant trying to create another Golden state Warriors Super team. I have no sympathy for the Brooklyn nets. Deck stacked fraud individuals who think they are bigger than the league. Their Big 3 played only 7 games together in the regular season, and they think they can win the chip 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nick, although at times I disagree with your takes, these were some of the best and most insightful takes of anyone I’ve heard as to why the Nets lost.
Michael Jordan never had to worry about his key players getting injured when bulls were winning titles runs I wish I could of seen him play without his key guys some times to see if he could of got it done .....
I can analyze without emotion (same reason I say China is the future and everyone needs to except it). Durant is almost cursed: 1) he starts his career with little Kobe and little Kobe basically throws away their chance to upset the Warriors similar to Kobe against the Pistons (I know you Kobe worshippers are upset) 2) He helps a team that originally vet lucky (Cleveland lost everyone but Lebron and that’s why GS won) really become the best team in basketball (regular season record doesn’t mean anything if you can’t close it out like they did) and basically gets pushed out by the fans worship of curry. Curry should have stopped that and told the fans it’s Durant’s team and he’s nothing compared to Durant. Plus, owner or GM completely dissed him after he was the finals MVP at the celebration (I said that was going to be a reason why he leaves. He pushed it aside but then his teammate disrespected him. (This guy is like the nicest superstar of all-time and his management and teammate disrespected him.) 3) Now, he’s back with 2 new Westbrook’s . When your 2 and 3 players just play isolated ball 1/2 the time, that’s the formula for doing a Lakers against the Pistons when Kobe basically did a black-Sox because he didn’t want Shaq to win MVP for a fourth consecutive finals. Durant needs to take control and demand obedience from everyone. He says and players do. Durant needs to get Lebron spirit in him (not be buddy-buddy). When I watched Nets games this year, I said if they are healthy, they probably win it, but they left a lot of team value on the table with their street ball style similar to OKC. Make me coach and I’ll bench anyone who doesn’t obey me and Durant.
Yeah, and if Jrue shot properly, and if Middleton averaged the same number of points as at home, the Bucks would have won. What kind of nonsense is this?
They beat an all star and all the analysts were hoping that KD was on lebron's level and he's not. They don't mention injuries or other bad playing teammates when it comes to lebron. They only analyze lebron and what he does. Now KD get praises for scoring big points and losing but lebron has been to 20 finals with great teams and bad ones and KD the best player on the planet only seen 4 finals lol what bias thinking. Now ppl see my point. Every other star gets a pass but lebron gets none thats why he's the goat. And they know it. Thats why they keep bringing him up knowing he's eliminated. Why? That's my?
Imagine saying LeBron was brilliant if he went 0-5 and scoreless in OT of a Game 7. Irrational or not, that's the standard the media sets for the Best in the League title. Otherwise it's just a standard set for the GOAT
I'm looking at the payroll. The rest of the team makes peanuts compared to KD, Kyrie, and Harden. Why blame the role players for this lost. The role players were even better than we thought. They can get better contracts elsewhere.
People keep saying jrue holiday and Chris Middleton were terrible in the 1st half I beg to differ missing shots don't make you terrible when you're able to contribute in other ways Doing the little things the dirty work But when they had to have it when the chips were down in the 4th quarter last 5 minutes they came through Nobody respects intangibles and defense
The refs tried their HARDEST to give the nets the win..... and the bucks lost their starting point guard before the series started. Maybe the nets need a 3rd MVP to make it to the finals....
why u talking one sided? Did refs not help bucks win in game 3 n 4? Do nets not have injury w harder out 40s in game one and Dinwiddie and LA heart problem? Which nets player didn't give Giannis or Middleton proper landing space while Giannis just had to accidentally injury kyrie out of the series?
But you didn't see all the arm swipes and elbow push offs from KD and Harden. Lol watching on side huh? So Harden and KD weren't hand checking either? Lol you need to watch the game again Harden and KD really fouled out offensively if you going to be nick picking.
@@theoburden6592 U said either? So u admitting the Bucks were handchecking, then again its a fair trade off. The refs won the Bucks the series, good luck against the Hawks because they wont get the same help like they got against the Nets.
Joe Harris wow, what a melt down. From the top 3 point shooting % in the league during the regular season to he can't buy a bucket in the playoffs. They honestly should have played Mike James more. SMH
“KD was brilliant”. “Injuries played a part”. “KD was tired”. Come on, y’all. Let’s be honest. If that was Lebron, the clownish media would have dumped on dude relentlessly!
The only problem I have with Nash is you see joe struggling why keep him in why not take him out give him a break and see if that helps him get his shot
Nash and the Nets remained a top 2 team in the conference despite injuries. Probably the thing that separates them from Lebron & the Lakers who fell to 7th place.
John Wall was out for the season becuz of hamstring grade II, Anthony Davis can't even walk on the court because of the pain of hamstring grade I, here, Harden who has hamstring grade II injury can even win the jump ball against Giannis and can play over 40mins? Apparently Harden is lying about his health situation and he simply wants to overshadow the fact that HE CAN'T PLAY POSTSEASON GAMES! PERIOD!
First off the situations were different. Harden was in a win or go home situation, while the other two weren’t at the time. And the Harden in this playoffs was clearly not the Harden we’ve come to know.
Right. AD tried but injured himself more. Who knows how lebron was feeling according to his ankle. He played. He had 28 points that last game on a injured ankle. Though he had to go back to locker room because he knew he couldn't do as much to win especially with other injured players on the court.

When AD went down he said “it’s not fair to expect Lebron to carry them past Phoenix or the other teams in the west”. So he has the same energy with the Lakers as he is with the Nets.

Epic game 7 with Giannis and KD balling out in one of the best playoff games in years.
Every Analysts: “Let’s make this about Lebron”
@The Progressive Brit sorry your advanced brain didn’t get the comment. You’re so smart and funny
@The Progressive Brit sounds like you were the one who doesn’t understand things. What are you 8 years old?
Exactly
This team isn’t playing because they risked their depth for harden and it didn’t pay off. This is why you want some depth… because injuries happen.
Best take tbh
💯 - call it karma but getting harden cost them plenty in terms of depth which bit them in the backside big time. Plus you gotta give giannis credit!!
I mean getting Blake and Lamarcus was plenty enough depth. No one could have forseen Lamarcus retiring mid season.
Harden was definitely the worst mistake smh I knew it once it happened
I guess, but without James, they would've been a 6th or 7th seed. Let's not forget Harden held them together when KD and Kyrie were taking their midseason break.
KD did the best anyone could, but seeing them let him off the hook so easily does make me feel even more sympathetic for Lebron
Thank you bro like Lebron would’ve got killed 🤦🏽♂️

So Lebrons 51 point game 2018 was a failure huh? Keep that same energy
@@stephenpamon4162 it wasn't a failure. What was the failure was the sulking after JR's blunder and quitting in OT. Had he displayed leadership and they still lost - no harm, no foul, you were just overmatched. But that was not the case and that's what he was being criticized for
Disrespect on bucks in crazy. This was not their best series and Middleton continues to be disappointing. Giannis, for all his faults, is not being a good shooter, but he did what an MVP does and led MKE against a team who was poised to win - on the road in a 7 game series.
Giannis also has the most pressure right now. Bucks has to be the favorite to win. No Lakers, Nets, Philly, etc. Giannis, all eyes on you buddy.
Haters gonna hate....BUCKS 2021
Middleton was not disappointing to be fair. Bucks overall played bad first two games, including Giannis who settled big time. After that K-Midd was really good. Played like an All-Star. He averaged 24 points 8 rebounds 4 assists 2 steals in 7 games.
Look K you right to a level but if Giannis going to be legendary aside from his humbleness he needs to shoot better. And I agree that Middleton is disappointing based on his ceiling but if you look at tape from both this year and last here he is the one saving them shooting wise. Holiday is a progressive bump but I think a part of him is lost. So I say Bucs potentially are super nasty but they ain't there. An injured Nets are better but coaching paid a huge factor. Injuries happen that's why u got 11 players. Ty lue, spo, and pop are the best coaches right now
You're partially right, with both Kyrie and Harden down there shouldn't be a reason for the series to go a full 7 games
@@kg4434 the bucks were much bigger and decided to shoot threes...they also stuck a much shorter holiday on Durant who's known to pull up. Had the bucks stuck with what they're good at you're right it wouldn't have went to seven
There’s a difference between carrying a team and being the best player on a team… So far KD’s only experienced one of the two, but it’s possible he’ll carry a team some day…

@@kayg7195 that doesn’t make sense as an argument. Everybody knows the bucks we’re less injured and Giannis has more help.

Well tbf LeBron was the one talking about "A thunderstorm is coming" and "These shoulders were made like this for a reason" or something like that, so he kinda brought that backlash on himself lol
The fact that lebron even is getting injured is evidence of the age man, lebron was an iron man like no other iron man. Lebron is way out of his prime, he is still easily a top 3 player in the league because when you’re half way down Everest, you’re still higher than most peaks on the planet, but his defense isn’t what it used to be, his athleticism isn’t what it used to be, and, most glaring, his health isn’t what it used to be
@@bryanfoster326 I agree with almost everything you just said. Bron's injury wasn't a natural injury like the groin or a common sprain a grown man tackled his ankle it don't matter if Bron was 26 or 36 he would've been injured regardless maybe you could argue he would've came back to 100% better or faster but even that is iffy cause high ankle sprains keep 25 year old RBs out for MONTHS I don't think NBA fans and analysts understand how significant of an injury that is. Guys like Skip Bayless and SAS were trying to say Bron faked the injury smh. As for his defense before injury he lead the ENTIRE LEAGUE in defensive rating and win shares, and his opponent field goal percentage was amazing not to mention he was top 3 or 5 in DPOY voting before injury and 1st in MVP athleticism is decling slightly but he's still more athletic than about 80% of the league.

The Nets got what they deserved for treating the regular season and competition with the disdain that they did - you have to respect THE PROCESS. You can't put three guys together regardless of how good they are and expect them to win a 'ship first year. This was a victory for Basketball - if the Nets had won it all then it would have been a disaster.
It's not that I disagree with what you're saying but when you use the phrase "THE PROCESS"? every 76ers fans right now is on suicide watch because of the trust "THE PROCESS" 😂
The Celtics won it all they first year together. The warriors won it back to back with kd. What you talking about. They were injured so i knew they didnt have a chance in the playoffs.
James Harden's hamstring injury is karma for coming into the season out of shape and forcing his way out of Houston.
I think he'll be ready next season. Bad Karma is Undefeated lol
I really feel like Karma said no to Jameas Harden this year and was the sole reason the nets lost
Steve Nash did a horrible coaching job! Joe couldn't hit a skittle in the ocean, so he should've put Landry Shamet (whose a better defender) in the game, but he didn't! Bruce Brown should've been taken out for Nick Claxton, no way a 6'4 guard who can't shoot an outside, shot and only hitting those stupid floaters in the paint, should be in the game. Your a 6'4 guard, you should be able to shoot!!! Not only that at the end of the game, the Bucks got a few offensive rebound, one which led to a Jrue Holiday 3 pt shot. Had Claxton been in the game, u get that rebound and maybe that kd airball gets rebounded and put back, leading to a double OT.
Only reason why these bums were that close is because they don't play as a team...we had a smaller defender on kd...and the bucks kept shooting threes which isn't their best asset
@@BuffKangaroo1 Bingo! We talk all the time about who’s better old versus new school. These dudes aren’t smart enough to compete with the 80’s and 90’s NBA. KD is 6’ 11” and being guarded by a 6’ 5” guy. He’s catching the ball at half court and trying to score off 10 plus dribbles shooting contested shots. With any basketball IQ at all he’s catching the ball on the box turning and shooting over Tucker and there’s NOTHING he could do about it.
Bird would have DESTROYED Tucker on 75 percent shooting easy and forced them to either switch assignments or double team him. Durant is skillful but doesn’t know how to play, that’s why they lost.

I can't really understand the hostility between LeBron's fan, Net's fan and Buck's fan. KD make peace with his lost to the Bucks and even praised the Buck's for playing the right way, Giannis and the Bucks happily admitted that KD is the best player in the world, Lebron tweeted to remind us to appreciate KD's greatness. Yes, Bucks won the series might be on some part , being lucky having 2 of the the big 3 of the Nets is injured, but to be world champion, injury is a sign of miss management of regular season's fitness training regime and not been able to identify a possible injury to certain player with a certain body type and with certain skills. You can be as good as KD and lebron combined, but if your star player are only available for a game or two, you are not entitled to be called the best team in the sport. Also, as a Buck's fan, deeply felt that this win is not fair for KD and I feel sad for him. For now, KD is the best player in the world, considering now that Lebron is slowly waning into his last few years of Lebron's career. For Lebron's fan, please appreciate KD while he is at his best, who knows when we will see another talent like him or Lebron, ever. Don't compare them, just appreciate. KD scores at such tremendous rate and efficiency, all the opponent is actually at his mercy, while LeBron affected game in a more cerebral way. But both is unstoppable at their peak, and both of them deserves to be at the top 5 of the greatest ever played the game.
In all honesty i think the hostility from bucks fans is more towards the media than anything cause they keep on talking about everything and everyone else besides the Bucks. Lebron n KD fans always goin go at each other, that won't change. But as a bucks fan i would like to see someone in the media actually give praise to the bucks for winning, especially after they all said it was goin be a sweep after game 2. Giannis had 40, 13, n 5 in a game 7 n no one is talking about it
@sleeping bear well I won't argue if you say it that way, because its your freedom of thought and speech. But just for a food for thought, a die hard fan who are unconditionally supporting their team(or favorite player) is among the main reason of violent behavior, racism chant and the catalyst for unsportsmanlike conduct. While I do agree for all the hype, drama and entertaining, logical and rational observation must be maintained as most of the fans, we are all matured and a grown man and woman. If the"spice" you are referring to just to put salt into the loss of the Nets, or KD, or to undervalue the win by the Bucks, well it still up to you, but for these media so called analyst or talkshow spokesperson, they shouldn't be this biased to their favorite team when doing these shows. It creates those unwanted demand from the players, physically and mentally.

Why the sympathy stick for KD but not lebron. Why everybody else team is better than lebron's but its only his fault when they lose. But it's because of injuries that KD lost. So lebron was hurt while playing still scoring his average and KD not hurt is only being praised for a tie game shot but not the 0-6 fgs or the airball. But lebron. Oh he didn't score or he missed free throws or he didn't play defense or he didn't takeover. Bias haters
Pat em on the back! They choking!
So happy for my Bucks. Even more happy that the media are forced to talk about small market franchise.
But did you notice this whole video is about the Nets anyway? Broussard's whining makes this even better. Well, us Milwaukee fans are used to this. Nets got what they deserved. Fear the Deer!
Kevin Durant trying to create another Golden state Warriors Super team. I have no sympathy for the Brooklyn nets. Deck stacked fraud individuals who think they are bigger than the league. Their Big 3 played only 7 games together in the regular season, and they think they can win the chip 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bruh, if Kyrie didn't get injured by Giannis the Nets would have easily won lol
@@MmaMadman85 they would’ve swept Them fully healthy and whoever else they play next year long as they healthy they winning it easily
Nick, although at times I disagree with your takes, these were some of the best and most insightful takes of anyone I’ve heard as to why the Nets lost.
PJ Tucker is a legend
Steve Nash gets 33%, KD gets 33%, and Harden gets, 33%, and Kyrie 1% for being at home.
Why would KD get 33%?
Michael Jordan never had to worry about his key players getting injured when bulls were winning titles runs I wish I could of seen him play without his key guys some times to see if he could of got it done .....
Fax Scottie never missed a playoff game that’s like the most underrated star of the whole bulls dynasty
plus having one of the best coaches of all time. Vogel, Ty Lue, Spo.......
He didn't .never made it pass the first rd without that great cast of players he won with. He didn't take them no where. Lol
Look back at 2013 when James harden let Durant down why is this different
It’s different because he was on 1 leg but outside of him being hurt I agree with you
I can analyze without emotion (same reason I say China is the future and everyone needs to except it). Durant is almost cursed: 1) he starts his career with little Kobe and little Kobe basically throws away their chance to upset the Warriors similar to Kobe against the Pistons (I know you Kobe worshippers are upset) 2) He helps a team that originally vet lucky (Cleveland lost everyone but Lebron and that’s why GS won) really become the best team in basketball (regular season record doesn’t mean anything if you can’t close it out like they did) and basically gets pushed out by the fans worship of curry. Curry should have stopped that and told the fans it’s Durant’s team and he’s nothing compared to Durant. Plus, owner or GM completely dissed him after he was the finals MVP at the celebration (I said that was going to be a reason why he leaves. He pushed it aside but then his teammate disrespected him. (This guy is like the nicest superstar of all-time and his management and teammate disrespected him.)
3) Now, he’s back with 2 new Westbrook’s . When your 2 and 3 players just play isolated ball 1/2 the time, that’s the formula for doing a Lakers against the Pistons when Kobe basically did a black-Sox because he didn’t want Shaq to win MVP for a fourth consecutive finals.
Durant needs to take control and demand obedience from everyone. He says and players do. Durant needs to get Lebron spirit in him (not be buddy-buddy). When I watched Nets games this year, I said if they are healthy, they probably win it, but they left a lot of team value on the table with their street ball style similar to OKC.
Make me coach and I’ll bench anyone who doesn’t obey me and Durant.
Bucks just dubbed the Warriors on this day...remember that. Giannis triple double
Yeah, and if Jrue shot properly, and if Middleton averaged the same number of points as at home, the Bucks would have won. What kind of nonsense is this?
They beat an all star and all the analysts were hoping that KD was on lebron's level and he's not. They don't mention injuries or other bad playing teammates when it comes to lebron. They only analyze lebron and what he does. Now KD get praises for scoring big points and losing but lebron has been to 20 finals with great teams and bad ones and KD the best player on the planet only seen 4 finals lol what bias thinking. Now ppl see my point. Every other star gets a pass but lebron gets none thats why he's the goat. And they know it. Thats why they keep bringing him up knowing he's eliminated. Why? That's my?
Kd was brilliant all series, but honestly didn’t get enough help. That’s the god’s honest truth
Today, I didn't skip Brandon's part - he did.
How can you all said that without appreciating Giannis and the Bucks for their efforts?
The stack super team always has a excuse
2-time MVP wins thrilling game 7 and we're talking about the nets. Why tf am i here?
If...If...If....Injuries are part of the game, get on with it!
Imagine saying LeBron was brilliant if he went 0-5 and scoreless in OT of a Game 7. Irrational or not, that's the standard the media sets for the Best in the League title. Otherwise it's just a standard set for the GOAT
He would get destroyed the Lebron standard is ridiculous nobody else is held to that standard and until they are he is still the King.
George Parker MJ! Not close!
@@markbantz9699 huh?
Chris hugging kd's nuts like steve Nash was hugging them
I'm looking at the payroll. The rest of the team makes peanuts compared to KD, Kyrie, and Harden. Why blame the role players for this lost. The role players were even better than we thought. They can get better contracts elsewhere.
Middleton and Jrue shot 14-49 28% that game ... so don't talk about help or missed shots lol
James Harden’s partying and drinking finally caught up to him.
Next season if the Nets and Warriors are healthy, THAT will be your Finals folks. I gaRONteeeeee (shout out to Chuck)
Even HERE Nick Wrong gets in a Historical Level “Protect Lebron” Soft “We need to judge less” take in. Jeeeezuz!!
Nick was right last year about the Clippers and was right this year about the Nets. Unreal
Lol he got all the playoffs wrong dude. And nfl playoffs
Nick I always fwy 💯
People keep saying jrue holiday and Chris Middleton were terrible in the 1st half I beg to differ missing shots don't make you terrible when you're able to contribute in other ways Doing the little things the dirty work But when they had to have it when the chips were down in the 4th quarter last 5 minutes they came through Nobody respects intangibles and defense
Nick Wright for Head Coach for the Brooklyn Nets for the upcoming 2021-2022 season.
This man just flat out makes good sense.
What's up Brooklyn!
The refs tried their HARDEST to give the nets the win..... and the bucks lost their starting point guard before the series started. Maybe the nets need a 3rd MVP to make it to the finals....
Who did the bucks lose
@@mantasstyle their starting point guard. A starter. Not a bench warmer
why u talking one sided? Did refs not help bucks win in game 3 n 4? Do nets not have injury w harder out 40s in game one and Dinwiddie and LA heart problem? Which nets player didn't give Giannis or Middleton proper landing space while Giannis just had to accidentally injury kyrie out of the series?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
NBA allowed handchecking on KD thats how the Bucks stayed in the game and won.
Oh my God, look at all fouls The Nets got they were trying to give the game to the Nets.
@@glenbrown8215 oh really and in exchange the bucks get to play 80's 90's defense on KD i would say its a fair trade off.
But you didn't see all the arm swipes and elbow push offs from KD and Harden. Lol watching on side huh? So Harden and KD weren't hand checking either? Lol you need to watch the game again Harden and KD really fouled out offensively if you going to be nick picking.
@@theoburden6592 U said either? So u admitting the Bucks were handchecking, then again its a fair trade off. The refs won the Bucks the series, good luck against the Hawks because they wont get the same help like they got against the Nets.
Joe Harris wow, what a melt down. From the top 3 point shooting % in the league during the regular season to he can't buy a bucket in the playoffs. They honestly should have played Mike James more.
SMH
Or shammet
“KD was brilliant”. “Injuries played a part”. “KD was tired”. Come on, y’all. Let’s be honest. If that was Lebron, the clownish media would have dumped on dude relentlessly!
Life is all about money, wins, and losses.
They lost......get over it.
No excuses
Nash was terrible in the playoffs...idk how you can deny that
James Harden is the greatest choker of all time.
WESTBROOK
The only problem I have with Nash is you see joe struggling why keep him in why not take him out give him a break and see if that helps him get his shot
Nick is on point 💯
Nash and the Nets remained a top 2 team in the conference despite injuries.
Probably the thing that separates them from Lebron & the Lakers who fell to
7th place.
KD punching air right now 😂they should have kept the depth and defense not James Harden
John Wall was out for the season becuz of hamstring grade II, Anthony Davis can't even walk on the court because of the pain of hamstring grade I, here, Harden who has hamstring grade II injury can even win the jump ball against Giannis and can play over 40mins? Apparently Harden is lying about his health situation and he simply wants to overshadow the fact that HE CAN'T PLAY POSTSEASON GAMES! PERIOD!
First off the situations were different. Harden was in a win or go home situation, while the other two weren’t at the time. And the Harden in this playoffs was clearly not the Harden we’ve come to know.
Right. AD tried but injured himself more. Who knows how lebron was feeling according to his ankle. He played. He had 28 points that last game on a injured ankle. Though he had to go back to locker room because he knew he couldn't do as much to win especially with other injured players on the court.
Also the part where they can't function as one could be a factor
Injuries is the only reason. And only
I can’t believe they didn’t call a time out, they still had 1 more time or left and could’ve used it to give KD a breather
This kinda shows they had to mentally mess with Lebron and his team to stop him.
Nets lost an insanely competitive game 7 @ home. Props to the Bucks
that is something you won't hear today. its Nets lost.... but good job KD and next season you will win it. oh the bucks..... i guess you did alright.
chris B said hammy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nick Wright shouting out one of the funniest dudes on Twitter
Amazing how Nick always finds an angle to complement LbJ with every topic.
Like Skip Bayless with Michael Jordan and Tom Brady
