All I care about right now is Kyrie

Kyrie's turned ankle looked BAD. Hope it turns out not to be. But if he's gone for a while, and Harden can't return soon ... the Bucks have a shot and the Sixers are the favorites.

Durant getting a brief taste of what life is like when you’re the only superstar on your team & he’s not enjoying it quite so much.

Nash is playing his guys this series like every game is Game 7 of the Finals. Prior to today Kyrie has played 121 of 132 minutes (excluding 4th of G2 when everyone sat). KD wasn’t far behind. https://t.co/pXZB1yxhPV

With Kyrie (ankle sprain) now officially out for the rest of the game, Nets Coach Steve Nash told me the Nets are going to have to make up his offense "by committee" and that in the locker room at halftime he told the other guys they have to be more aggressive offensively. https://t.co/EfzdOlTYIS
