Kyrie said last week he felt the comparisons between this year’s team without KD, and last year’s team weren’t the same. Now that the Nets have dropped 4 straight again what gives him the confidence the group can still turn things around?
“Just staying confident. That’s it.” – 1:51 AM

Suns end a 3-game losing streak while Nets lose 4th straight without Durant. Kyrie Irving leads furious fourth-quarter comeback but Nets run out of gas in the fourth quarter. Nic Claxton misses 2 key free throws on final possession. Simmons ejected. – 12:46 AM

Final: Nets fall to the Suns 117-112. Kyrie Irving went off in the fourth quarter, but three straight turnovers cost them down the stretch. Suns assistant who told Ish Wainright to foul Claxton won them the game. Nets remain winless without Kevin Durant and play in Utah tomorrow. – 12:43 AM

KD explaining his trade request at media day:
Said he was unhappy with the team’s fight with him out. Mentioned GSW and DAL fighting through injuries to Steph and Luka. Said Nets’ inability to do that led to doubts in his mind.
Makes you wonder what he’s thinking watching this. pic.twitter.com/KVHciak6Aa – 12:15 AM

I know it doesn’t really matter (I’m 1/100 out of 25% of the vote)… but I’m legitimately agonizing over the All-Star Starter vote.

And what we are learning — for the second consecutive year — is that a healthy Kevin Durant covers up a whole lot of flaws on an inconsistent Nets roster. – 11:38 PM

Kyrie doesn’t look very engaged on a lot of these possessions.
Outside of just missing shots, the body language and intensity has not been great.
KD has been the guy leading and holding guys accountable on the floor all year. Not much leadership out there with Kyrie as the #1. – 11:05 PM

The issue for Vaughn is that he doesn’t have a lot of other cards to play offensively. When Kyrie doesn’t have it going — and can’t create space for everybody else with no KD — the Nets are in trouble. – 11:05 PM

If we’re going by the literal name of the award:
Kevin Durant is the unanimous “Most Valuable Player” in the NBA.
Nets looked like one of the best teams in the league while firing all cylinders the last month. They are lost without him right now.
Monumental dropoff. – 10:58 PM

Monty Williams on #Nets w/o KD: “Without him, they’re playing a lot more ball (movement). It seems like us. When you lose a guy like that it takes away some of your ISOs and pick-and-rolls, so they’re transferring the ball to the second side and trying to attack the paint.” #Suns – 8:22 PM

Monty Williams compares the Nets without Kevin Durant to his team without Devin Booker right now. Said losing a guy like that takes away some isos, pick-and-rolls, second-side actions and so on. Have to adapt. – 8:21 PM

🚨You can help send Quenton Jackson and Kris Dunn to UTAH for the NBA G League All-Star game.
• Q is a must-see talent that gets everyone up out of their seats.
• KD still has an NBA game, and this event would help further showcase that.
