Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets are currently facing the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs. The team had a very underwhelming regular season for reasons that may have been out of the control of the coaching staff or the players. Kyrie Irving’s return seemed like their only hope of winning the title this season but now the Celtics are exposing the Nets’ biggest flaws.
The Nets were very close to winning Game 1 while Irving put up a masterful performance. Jayson Tatum had found his way through the defenders and beat the buzzers to give the Celtics a one-point lead win over Brooklyn. KD described the unfortunate fate of his team as one of the hardest things he has faced on the basketball court, he said, “Even though we know it’s a series, they sting.”

While walking to the bench, he spoke to Kyrie saying, “F**k, I quit this series.”
The All-Star was would open up about his performance during the game saying, “They’re doing a good job trying to cut off my scoring, limit my shot-making. It’s on me to figure it out.” Boston has taken a 2-0 lead in the series leaving Brooklyn in a state of shambles. Only 7.1% of teams with a 0-2 deficit have been able to bounce back to win a series.
