NFT: I think it's fair to say Kevin Durant is the KD of old...

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 1/16/2021 8:20 pm
Following Nets-Magic on my phone mostly because of The Beard's first game as a Net.

KD is 16 for 26 for 42 points, 5 assists, 4 boards, 2 steals, & 2 blocks.

Also, The Beard put up 30 points, 14 assists, & 11 boards, 4 steals (!), & 1 block. Good debut.

If KD, Harden, & Kyrie (who knows with him) can work together, that's the favorite coming out of the East.
They looked even better

Then the stat lines
Amazing debuts. Kyrie playing a bit off the ball and how they spread playing time. Sky is limit. Weak link is deandre Jordan though he would only play against certain teams
The Beard actually ended up with 32.....

He was one of few in NBA history to have a triple double in their teams debut. He looked off early and indicated that he needs more time practicing and playing with his teammates to avoid the turnovers. If Kyrie ever comes back, this is going to be fun to watch. They do need a Center now however.
Yes they were amazing... Basketball is back in NYC!!!

Let’s see if Miami or Philly steps up for Bradley Beal, otherwise I don’t see any East team stopping Brooklyn. Lebron must be so pissed, but LA can compete with anyone.
Nic Claxton is the C they are waiting for.

Played well as a rook last year before going out with injury. Expecting him back from knee tendonitis next month. Gonna go to war with him and Jordan. Tho they will sign at least one big, I don't think there is anyone better out there.
I wasn't thrilled with the Harden deal but I was very wrong

his bbiq fits really well with KD and really the whole group they have assembled. Forgetting the stat line just the way he meshed right away looked unreal. I was worried about all these guys being too ball dominant but I don't think that's going to be an issue with him and KD at all. He got KD some of his cleanest looks of the season.

I do wish they still had Jarrett Allen. His defensive activity is missed and with Harden he'd get so many dunks.

How they integrate Kyrie will be interesting and maybe it's extreme to think they don't need him, but it really didn't look like they need him, though they do need to find 1 or 2 more role players.
KD just makes everything look effortless

Even though the Warriors won two titles with him, I was kind of glad he left because having him almost felt like cheating.

Of course, now that there's apparently some rule that at leat one key player on the Warriors must miss a season due to an injury, I really miss having him.

Yeah, KD's incredible. He had another great game last night. It also appears that Irving is returning tomorrow night, which is interesting. So far, the KD & Harden tandem looks great. Let's see how it looks when Kyrie is throw into the pool.
