Emergency Podcast: Are the Nets in Trouble?


Listen Later

The Milwaukee Bucks have found themselves still in their series against the Nets, in large part due to an ankle injury suffered by Kyrie Irving early in the game. With the series being tied 2-2, and no word on when James Harden or Kyrie will return, we felt like it was a good time to talk about how much danger the Nets' playoff goals are now in. Without 2 of the best point guards in the game, Kevin Durant will be asked to do much more than usual in order to get his team the win. KD has gone most of his career with an elite co-star in the playoffs, and the next 2 games in this series could be legacy-altering from Durant. If he can manage to put on an offensive showing and lead this Nets team to a series win, it will be time for people to recognize that this man can win big on his own. If he cannot do those things, this series will likely add more fuel to the fire for KD haters who have refused to give him his respect since his move to the Warriors. This episode goes in-depth on the future implications of either a Bucks or Nets win, as well as what each team needs to do to close out this series. Enjoy!
