  • All right, let's get to the other game from last night, where the Nets looked awesome in that 26 point win over the Warriors.

  • 37 11 do of Kyrie and K D Kyrie 26 points in 25 minutes k d.

  • 22 points in 25 minutes.

  • Perk.

  • Was that blowout last night Mawr about the Nets being great or the Warriors having trouble?

  • It was more about the Nets being great.

  • It's not.

  • Look, the Warriors, They're not the only team that's going to get blown out by the Brooklyn Nets.

  • It's gonna be a lot of teams get blown out by them.

  • Rachel.

  • They are deep Kyrie and K D.

  • R on the mission right now.

  • Look, Kyrie could burn all the sage that he walked.

  • He could sit Indian style.

  • I don't care what he do off when he get between those lines, and he played this type of basketball.

  • The Nets are gonna be tough to beat, and I love with Steve.

  • Nash is doing right now by bringing Caris Levert off the bench because he could possibly win sixth Man of the year because he's a bucket.

  • But look the most important thing.

  • I was impressed about the ball movement.

  • Guys were not playing my turn basketball.

  • They were letting it go.

  • They were flowing through the offense and not forcing anything.

  • And by the way, on the defensive end, that energy was there.

  • And it was set by Kevin Durant blocking shots and taking charges.

  • The Brooklyn Nets are really, really scary.

  • Thio anyone?

  • But they're coming out of the East.

  • I tell you that much.

  • All right, then.

  • What about you, e?

  • I tell you, it could go either way.

  • Depends on what side of the spectrum you on.

  • But I definitely think it's about the Brooklyn Nets and what they have to offer and just think about this.

  • The last two years they made the playoffs and they did not have Kevin Durant.

  • And they did not have, uh, Kyrie Irving.

  • So now you're adding prolific superstars to this team, and all you need now is adjustment to get these guys to buy in.

  • I agree with bringing Caris Levert off off off the bench as another score.

  • So when you bring one of those guys que de kyrie out, you bring carrots and you still have to scores or you could put him in there and feature him by himself.

  • So they have so many options defensively, they're very good.

  • And you see, like I said, Kevin Durant has bought in and in position.

  • And once there was one situation where he missed a tag, a bump, and he ended up getting a foul and he said, and he admitted his wrong to the bench and to the coach, and I think that's the start.

  • First of all, the good defensive team and players like that, admitting their wrongs now can can translate to good things later on down line.

  • See, that's fascinating to me.

  • I didn't catch that moment, Vince.

  • I love hearing that, though, because one of the concerns about this Nets team right has been that defensively, they're not a strong.

  • They're not set up to be a strong as they are offensively, and can they bring that level up now?

  • We saw what the Lakers last year.

  • If you took the numbers of all the players the season previous, they didn't look like they would be a good defensive team, But guess what?

  • They buckled down and played great defense and you think the Nets could do the same fence.

  • Well, Rachel, I'm gonna say this, You know, even if they're not great individual defense of players, team defense is most important.

  • What are your strengths that they have on their on their defense?

  • There shot blockers.

  • So you just need to be solid, not get beat on the first dribble and funnel everything down to your big guys to your shot blockers.

  • You have to elite shot blockers.

  • Um, behind you.

  • So you just need to be solid.

  • You know, you don't have to be locked down.

  • You don't need.

  • You have to be a two way player.

  • But you just need to be solid and come up with the scheme that works for you.

  • And you're gonna make adjustments because you're gonna play against special players.

  • I understand that.

  • But if you have a solid defensive system, good things can happen.

  • Because offensively, like like perks said they're gonna blow out a lot of people.

  • They're gonna blow out a lot of people.

  • They're gonna outscore a lot of people.

  • But when those close games come about, you just have toe remain solid.

  • Yes, Some schemes are not gonna work, but If you know that you have to to shot blockers behind you, that should be comforting.

  • And one thing that we have to keep in mind is that Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving R N ba champions so they know what it takes.

  • And when I watched from the start of the game, Kyrie Irving took on the challenge of guarding Steph Curry.

  • He guarding Steph Curry.

  • He picked him up and I said, You know what this team is locked in and that comes from being taught in Cleveland for Kyrie Urban.

  • You look at Kevin Durant.

  • I saw him.

  • I saw that he was locked in.

  • I taught him well and then also learning from Golden, also learning from Golden State.

  • What people don't give Kevin Durant enough credit for is that he is a leader.

  • He's a leader.

  • So Steve Nash toehold Kevin Durant accountable and Kevin Durant could accept it.

  • Everyone else now could be held account about by Steve Nash, and you could tell there was time on one string defensively, and it was very impressive.

  • Toe watch.

All right, let's get to the other game from last night, where the Nets looked awesome in that 26 point win over the Warriors.
