bucks shooting more than 50% in 2s, it's just that they are stupid settling for 3s. where they shot 8/27 now. |

Watching Harden stand in one spot pointing to his teammates to guard his man is the funniest ish ever.

it isn't without basis - kd and harden are a handful and jordan and green are relatively good role players...
granted, the bucks aren't hitting their usual 3s but if the nets defense is supposed to be as suspect as people try to make it out to be then milwaukee should be running away with this... |

| Lots of 1 on 1 action by both KD and Harden in second half...but it's working. They both make it look easy. |

KD is shooting lights out right now. But it be interesting how he holds up and when he starts playing heavier minutes in the playoffs. |

KD's not the worry, he's a proven player in the Playoffs.
Harden's performance tends to dip as the refs call fewer fouls. And Kyrie taking the ball away from KD will always lead to a worse team performance (as well as on the defensive end) |

they actually might be better off trading kyrie for a strong supporting cast, if any takers still exist out there... |

| If bucks didnt settled for 3s earlier, they could have been leading by double digits now. |

KD no doubt... But not sure he can sustain shooting 48% from 3. |

Everybody thinks that's an absurd suggestion, but 3 people with no supporting cast that are all ball dominant isn't really a recipe for sustained success.
GSW had 3 superstars, but Klay is a catch and shoot 3. Miami had 3 superstars but Bosh is a center, and even then Miami didn't have great success because, especially in the first year, Lebron and Wade couldn't work things out.
KD and Harden work so well together. Everybody saw earlier in the year that KD and Kyrie ... did not work out that great. KD is the best player on the Nets team, then it's Harden and it isn't even close. So Kyrie taking the ball out of the hands of the two best players on the team isn't a recipe for sustained success. |
