Everybody and their sister’s best friend wanted to know just how good the Brooklyn Nets were. Running completely over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night wasn’t a good indicator because everybody’s going to sprint through them without Klay and Draymond.
Therefore, folks were at least waiting to see what they would look like against Boston on Christmas day. Well playas…they looked just as lethal against the Celtics and probably even more dangerous as they blasted them 123-95.
With the combination of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving getting buckets at will. They’re going to be everybody’s problem this year. Call them Uncle Drew and his homeboy Otis or whatever you like. They’re getting buckets!
KD can get to the rack, shoot it on the perimeter, handle the rock and dish it as smooth as he did before the Achilles injury. Did I mention that the dun is still 7-feet tall too? OMG!!!
Then Kyrie is still doing his thing handling the rock and shooting the lights out of the gym. His only problem over the years has been his ability to stay healthy. If he can do that it’s going to be fun to watch the East this season with them knocking boyz down.
Irving led all scorers with 37 points in their win over Boston. Steve Nash doesn’t have to even coach these cats. They’re on auto-pilot at this point and they’ve only played two games. That’s scary
They shot 54 percent from the field and 52 percent from behind the arc. Kyrie was 70 percent from 3-point range (7-10) and KD hit them up for 75 percent (3-4) from the same distance. NUTS!!! Boyz are going to have all kinds of problems slowing that train down once it gets going. In my Terrell Owens voice, “Get Ya Popcorn Ready!” Stop me when I start lyin’!
