Stephen A. and Max react to the Nets falling to the Cavs in Kyrie Irving's return | First Take

I feel as though their ego may get in the way, and cause them to self-destruct. God forbid.

See the agenda 👀 They lost 2 games with the Big 3 together and every media show and podcast and haters mouths where overly disrespectful especially at Kyrie talking about trade him because they know if they don't create any drama and try anything they can to put a wedge between Kyrie and this team then at the end of the season they'll have to eat their words while the championship parade is going on in Brooklyn period. 2 wins and not a peep from the same shows and media dummies who a week ago had waaaayyyy to much to say the same energy ain't there why is that??? Keep hating I love it guess I have to wait until they lose again to hear that Kyrie hate and a word from you Nets haters and media dummies and parrots 🤣😭😂

Kyrie is a cancer on any team he’s on. And I keep telling ppl that just because a team lineup looks great on paper doesn’t mean they are going to be great. The nets are going to the playoffs, but will they win the playoffs is the question.

Is Kevin Durant paying Stephen A's rent or something?

Kyrie look skinny af

I agree with Max. I don't think that game is typical...sometimes Harden will shoot less than 15, and sometimes Kyrie will be the one shooting less than 15, and occasionally it will be Durant...I don't think the Nets are sweating it as much as the media is.

Lack of defense, lack of depth, lack of continuity, lack of size...the Nets will score lots of points and beat some really good teams, but they will also lose to a lot of mediocre teams and will most likely fizzle at the end of the season.

Kyrie had 38 points and you guys are saying he shouldnt have the ball as much

Molly cutting him off at the end... Yea.. yea... yea.... Lmao what the F*ck do she be doing? Lmao.

Stephen A smith sounds close to a pissed off black woman when he talks lmao

so tired of this Kyrie slander. Literally shows he has less touches. It’s not his fault that he plays aggressive when he gets the ball.

The amusing double expectantly gaze because lightning synthetically slow into a expensive attic. valuable, red system

Kyrie is not a pg he just short he a 2 guard but the ball has to go through kd for them to win

Dudes annoying. He’s voice is like nail on a chalk board especially when rambling. They should have him on a teleprompter. You can tell he’s not and should be.

why you need kyrie if you have durant and harden

So now it's "offense wins championships" lol

Cavs are my favorite team!

Trade Kyrie for the best 1-4 defender you can find and this team gets better.

nets play better without kyrie

How about Kyrie shooting 23 instead of 28, Harden 19 instead of 12, KD staying with his 25, yikes! Stephen A already in excuse modus^^

Kevin Durant needs to be the leader and take control. Dictate the offense and score when he needs to, he’s being to nice .

They are hibernating on Harris ? Dude is a pure shooter. Mark my word, Harris will bust 40 points and will hit 8 three pointers in a game. Maybe a few. Because all they have to do is kick it out. And somebody will have a triple double by feeding him.

Jay Williams: THE MOST TALENT TRIO EVER IN NBA HISTORY!! Yeah, but what about the defence?

BRO SAS HASNT LIVED A DAY IN HIS LIFE WITHOUT TALKIN SHII BOUT KYRIE TF

Its a new team. Give them time.

It’s a shame how Kyrie is that good and too not too be a leader wit no damm defense

IT seems like they want the nets to win because i see it as hes wants the team with 3 all starts to win i really dont care about Stephen anymore

SAS was just here to attack kyrie

so kyrie shoots 52 percent and its still a problem 😭

Kirye is almost equal to James. Nets need to trade him ASAP. So team could build chemistry. They could get 3 good players + more.

Nobody STILL wants to address the elephant in the room of this being the Houston Rockets 2.0. As long as Mike D'Antoni is a part of any team's coaching staff, there's going to be high scoring and little or no defense. ...and Nash is an enabler to this, thus complicit as the head coach.

Serves the cry baby right.

Kyrie bumass thinks he's better than Harden lmao he'll learn so I hope they trade him he's a cancer to a teams chemistry

MOLLY LOOKING GOOD😍

Oh and molly, DONT EVER IN YOUR LIFE INTERRUPT SAS AGAIN. Ever

The plan was for kyrie to open up the offense once he got hot. Well. He never got hot. Either way the team was ready to live with those consequences .

Nets are clippers part 2

You not scoring 40 on me until I foul out!! I'm hacking😂😂

Kyrie shouldn't be taking offensively EVER when Harden and KD are on the floor.

Lonzo ball would be perfect for the nets.

we counting shots now, analytics xD

Kyrie is a luminous talent, but he's not a guy I'd want. He's not worth the baggage, and that's saying something. He is also NOT the best show in the NBA. That would be Steph Curry, preferably when he's not the only guy on his team who can hit a shot.

The unique karate proportionately undress because study sequently worry around a weary insulation. reflective, foamy tie

Kyrie is a great player but he's not a great facilitator! This team needs a good passing point.

Molly did her job this time.

I will never bet on this garbage team again. I thought they could beat them by -6.5 points in the rematch. The nets blew up a good team. Now, they middle of the pack to me...

James harden not a point guard His also not a closer

Cavs was on . Everyone balled. Nets should of done better defense. But cavs was on that night

Kyrie for Simmons. This is the only way.

The Problem is Steve Nash.

No depth problems with team chemistry and the worst defensive team in the NBA = Nets choking in the playoffs. Have no rim defense and Kyrie is a defensive liability now

Stephen A has beef with everybody it seems: Kareem LeBron now Kyrie. He’s not objective just a overpaid mouth runner

Nets have no defensive identity. They traded that away with Jarrett Allen

Cavs had worst offense due to Sexton just getting back. Love, Garland, Exum, Okoro, Windler, Porter were all injured and Allen and Prince weren’t in Cleveland yet

The Cavs been injured

yes kyrie shouldnt always shoot more shots then harden and kevin durant ... but kyrie shot over 50% and had 37... so i think it was valid and some nights he willl have 30 and some nights harden will have 30 i think the defense was the problem more than kyrie having 37 on over 50% shooting and SAS being upset that some of those points didnt go to harden or KD

A volcano erupted in Hawaii Stephen A: Kyrie was the one who shot the ball in the volcano

Lol hope the nets implode

They traaaash

I'm just glad to see Kyrie came back not looking homeless.

☆

Nets should get to the finals once they figure things out....but when they meet Lebron and AD in the finals its gonna be da sha vu all over again...This team is nothing more than version 2 of OKC 2012, Harden, KD, and Kyre replacing Westbrook against Lebron, & AD replacing Dwade

They should have kept Allen...they got no backup in the post when Jordan foes out

What's the saying, teams better without Kyrie lol

Does Stephen A ever have anything positive to say? Always so cynical. Just an old, angry, jealous black man.

Kyrie has a misguided Ego.. a short man ego..he's dangerous an in 3years done.

Talent don't equal chemistry you have to learn and want to play with each other and defend that's what equals championship pedigree and the minute you don't have it all plus talent it's gone look at the warriors

He been beefin with Kyrie for a min . Why?

The clumsy lunch arguably strap because quicksand latterly scrape below a rampant swim. loud, better uncle

People seem to forget that Collin Sexton is the same guy who nearly won a 3v5 lol Man is a legend

Idk y why would nets trade jarret... Kyrie should been traded

If harden had 12 assist he had the ball enough to take over 23 shots 🤫 he had 12 assist because he felt like someone had a better shot he didn't take 23 shots because he felt like he didn't have it duh

NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOU THINK YOU ARE SHOOTING A GOOD BASKETBALL PLAYERS PLAY GOOD DEFENSE. AS FAR AS IRVING HIM RETURNING MEAN NOTHING HE SHOW HE ALL ABOUT HISSELF WHEN HE LELF. NO NBA PROFESSIONALISM. I TAKE A TEAM TO WIN ALL THESE NBA STARS WITH THERE HIGH ATTITUDES WONT EVER WORK.😙😗

Ae muji haru

Lebron is safe from any drama this season

This is why I can't watch First take having molly interrupt every time a discussion gets good Undisputed is much better

Not only defense will be the problem.. chemistry will be a major issue also with those superstars..

See how everything goes straight to Kyrie? It's not even all his fault. Where's the D?

Lmao this fool Stephen really be beefin by himself smh.

Another L to the mighty Cavs last night.

God Stephen A is tiresome

This ain't Kyries team they have to share big three 3

SAS is still the SMARTEST GUY IN THE WORLD.........😂😂

Bruh does SAS even watch these games?

defense wins champions

Watch kyrie go crazy next game

These guys infuriate me

Kyrie is a toxic player in my opinion. Everywhere he's been it's sucked for players around him and no past players come out and stick up for the guy because they don't like him. He sometimes good at basketball and thats only when he's healthy and on the court. Kyrie never made playoffs being the number one player on the team and never will.

I think the Nets wanted him to get his rhythm back.

Just give props to Sexton.

They need to move the ball set a lot of screen and pits like golden state no iso plays...

I'm beginning SAS knows nothing about basketball...🤦🏽‍♂️

The Nest should trade Irving and get Lonzo ball. Get Irving for a decent player and lonzo is a free agent this summer.

Harden needs to be point...kyrie doesnt need to shoot like that with harden and durant.kyrie needs to play small 2...kD and Kyrie has no excuses with a titles a piece and harden with years of top experience...kD should take charge of this team,and see lebron asap))))if this team doesnt accomplish anything Steff will be over him under lebron....think about it.

Kyrie’s Stop & Pop 3 🤣

An Exanple of two stupid guys with no experience in pro basketball judging people's mistake 🙂

they hit me with a 24 second ad so now I’m here.

Smith's point in Kyrie taking too many shots is inconsequential to their loss. The Nets should've still won. No defensive identity

Kyrie has to understand he needs to be a floor general and run the offense like rondo did with LA KD and Harden are the stars who are #1 options they needs to take the most shots with KD being the closer Kyrie thinks he’s on Lebron KD Steph levels but he’s not He’s talented for sure he can hit the 3 under pressure but he’s not consistent when needed to be like the others Brooklyn’s success will be decided on wether or not kyrie makes this change and of course they get better on defense.

OMG, hard true, but it is bad coaching... The problem is elsewhere Stephen A.. And it is hard to say, but 80 % of the blame goes to coach Steve Nash. There was absolutely no coaching. Nothing. Just OK, big 3 play as you want 1on1 and it will be OK. It is amateurism, but understand it until 4Q where you just see, that it´s not gonna work. You have 4 players that can shot 3 and 3 of them can do anything. So, just play some action and make it easier for them. Not play 1on1... That´s just stupid and not using your weapons smart. When there was 1,5s left to win the game. Instead of all big 3 being on the floor and make some screens and confusion for defense, you instead let Harden be at the halfcourt doing nothing, Kyrie inbounder, and Durant just with the biggest defender in the game sooting fadeaway 3?!!! That illustrated it all. The league just missing really solid coaches. It is too much players game now and this is just illustrating it.
