Kyrie said last week he felt the comparisons between this year’s team without KD, and last year’s team weren’t the same. Now that the Nets have dropped 4 straight again what gives him the confidence the group can still turn things around?

Once down as many as 24, and down 20 going into the 4th, the Nets are fighting hard down the stretch in this one — but three turnovers in a row just doomed them. Too many unforced errors.

If we’re going by the literal name of the award:
Kevin Durant is the unanimous “Most Valuable Player” in the NBA.
Nets looked like one of the best teams in the league while firing all cylinders the last month. They are lost without him right now.

Ben Simmons has 5 points on 2-of-3 shooting but has yet to punish #Suns for either switching a big on him or playing him with a small.
He can live in the paint and shoot over the smaller defender or go around the bigger defender.

8 straight wins for the Celtics. They’ve opened up a 4.5 game lead on the Bucks, 5 game lead on the 76ers, 5.5 game lead on the Nets (Brooklyn is playing right now) and a 6 game lead on the Cavs.
