Nothing groundbreaking, but general first half impressions:
-KD obviously looked good
-The secondary rim protection is real
-Suns can be more aggressive on defense with Durant out there
-Staggering should be fun
-Dude makes life easier for everyone – 8:04 PM

Watching KD warm up in the tunnel in Charlotte before his debut with the Suns, I was reminded that that’s the same arena where Kyrie was caught before the 2019 All-Star Game telling KD that Brooklyn had “two max slots” in free agency that summer. KD went out & won MVP that night. – 7:55 PM

Milwaukee’s starters played just 68 minutes in the first half, the #Nets‘ logged a hefty 93. Having lost four-of-five since the Durant trade, it’s completely understandable; just a clear indicator of how much Jacque Vaughn wants to win this one. #Bucks – 8:44 PM

Nets lead the Bucks 20-11 with 5:32 left in the first quarter. We’ve talked about how the shooting variance can determine a lot w/out KD and Kyrie and it’s showing. Nets started 4-for-6 from 3, Cam Johnson has hit his first two. Good sign. – 7:56 PM
