The Brooklyn Nets landed a 7 seed in the NBA Playoffs and are already down 2-0 to the 2nd seeded Boston Celtics in round one. Kevin Durant is being criticized for his decision to play for Brooklyn but Dan Beyer and Aaron Torres, in for Doug Gottlieb, come to Durant’s defense. There are at least seven different reasons this team is struggling that have nothing to do with KD and the guys lay it all out in an effort to absolve Durant of responsibility for this debacle.
Dan Beyer: “This team shouldn’t have to be playing the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs if any of the people that they brought in during this time, during this season, had given a damn about the team. I am giving Kevin Durant no blame for being down 0-2 in this series.”
