As a Milwaukee Bucks fan, you heard all the smoke about the Brooklyn Nets. They trade for James Harden and hype builds around the team. The Vegas odds for the NBA Championship or even making it out of the Eastern Conference swelled making them the favorite. It hasn’t worked out the way the Nets hoped. They cannot play defense to save their soul. Who would have thought that getting rid of Jarrett Allen would lead to open baskets all the time? They’re also having issues with COVID as Kevin Durant has been out for 2.5 games. The Nets lost their third straight game last night to the Detroit Pistons. Kyrie Irving did his usual thing and began the ‘woe is me’ act.

Kyrie Irving says,

“We’re the team that gets someone taken out during COVID during the games. We’re the team that has to deal with the refs. We’re the team that is battling against so many odds.”

It’s hard to believe that’s a real quote. Milwaukee Bucks had Jrue Holiday removed right before a game started and they still kicked the shit out of the Denver Nuggets on the road. Irving complaining about the officials is hilarious. The three Nets players – Irving, Kevin Durant, James Harden, all get treated like superstars. It’s a part of how the NBA refs games. And those guys get more calls than Giannis Antetokounmpo, a two-time MVP, will ever get. Kyrie can spin however he wants, but his team can’t play defense to save its soul, that’s why they’re losing.

If you had the Nets starting to crack in early February, cash your ticket at the window.
