    They wont need them. The Nets will lose by a margin (even if close) that wont make the last shot useful.

      The Nets not gonna lose

    KD should take it 55% of the time
    Kyrie should take it 15% of the time
    Curry should take it 15% of the time
    Harris should take it 15% of the time

    Kyrie already addressed this. Kd can do the same things he can but is 7ft and can get his shot off easier.

    I disagree with Legs on this one… There’s a chance, although it doesn’t happen often, that Kyrie’s shot can be blocked. Kyrie needs to create space to shoot – because a taller defender could (in theory) block his shot. Most players in the NBA are 6’6″ – 6’8″. That’s a good enough size to have a real chance at actually blocking someone’s jump shot – especially a PG. With KD – ain’t nobody — well, maybe 2, 3 guys in the league — blocking his shot (Giannis, Ben Simmons and maybe somebody else). So, Kyrie is taking the more difficult shots.

      But I can’t 🤔 remember anyone blocking Kyrie’s shot!!

    • Herbert Nelson, Jr.

      April 14, 2022 at 2:42 pm

      I still would pick KD over Kyrie.

    • 250miles

      April 14, 2022 at 3:17 pm

      @Herbert Nelson, Jr. I’m not mad at ya’ for picking KD. Both are clutch!

    • 250miles

      @Herbert Nelson, Jr. he last person that I remember seeing block his jump shot was Kobe – but, at that point, Kyrie picked up his dribble and was in the paint, I think. I’m sure it’s happened more than we realize. The NBA does keep track of how often your shot is blocked. But, again, he’s taking a more difficult shot than KD because of his size.

    I rather have kd any day he’s more efficient and hit more game winners

  7. War Tape

    April 14, 2022 at 1:35 pm

    Kyrie never has a good game without a greater player playing with him. Kd can do this by himself

    kd had some last shots its time to give it to kyrie I wanna see uncle drew make clutch shots

    • The reason why ?

      April 14, 2022 at 3:11 pm

      Nah

    • Veganpotter Thevegan

      April 14, 2022 at 9:22 pm

      Kyrie has to consult his astrologer before he takes clutch shots

  10. Joey Fendi

    April 14, 2022 at 2:11 pm

    Kyrie my favorite player , but stop ittttttttt give the rock to KD

    KD shoots at a 5% higher clip. this isnt an argument

    • The Realist

      April 15, 2022 at 9:57 am

      …and Kareem shot at 10% higher clip than KD, but Kareem wasn’t a better overall player than KD.

    • CinoFTW

      April 16, 2022 at 2:46 am

      @The Realist what is your point here ? Kyrie better than KD ?

    • KiNG 3D

      April 17, 2022 at 1:52 pm

      @The Realist Kareem scored more points at a 10% higher efficiency, better rebounder, better defender, just as gifted as a passer (based on the numbers). The 3 pointer was introduced to the NBA in Kareem’s 10th season, so that’s not comparable. Gimmie Kareem for the last shot if I need 2 because I can book the W. Magic knows.

    Dumb question…. it all depends who has the hot hand 🏀🔥

  13. Thomas D

    K.D only option 1 because Kyrie is a guard

  14. Mechanic Man

    Kyrie is more cluth than kd kd is better but kyrie is more clutch just like how it was with him and lebron those who don’t know this is just being silly

  15. The Realist

    April 14, 2022 at 6:13 pm

    Kareem had the most unstoppable shot, but Jordan was the most unstoppable player…just as KD has the most unstoppable jumper because of his length, but Kyrie is the most unstoppable offensive player.

    • iluvcakes19

      April 15, 2022 at 3:53 pm

      Kyrie is definitely up there.. I think Kobe had a better offense.

  16. NKUFI NATION TV

    KY more clutch he proved it with cavs and saved bron legacy

  17. thedude

    April 14, 2022 at 11:17 pm

    jwill u just lost all my respect kd is so much clutch man when cleavland cut it to 6 kd was the one that closed it not ky

  18. Kevin Douglas

    April 15, 2022 at 12:41 am

    It depends.. if the play is designed to go to the right side of the floor Kyrie > KD.. if it is on the left side KD > Kyrie.. if under 1 second KD.

  19. Etherio Noon

    April 15, 2022 at 12:48 am

    Kyrie is the most skilled offensive player ever, KD the best scorer ever …simple as that

  20. OscarUnrated

    April 15, 2022 at 1:37 am

    I love Kyrie but KD is better at the clutch shots. Kyrie has some ridiculous games but sometimes he’s just off

    • LeGoat James

      Kyrie is pandemic p of the east, he choke when it matters most. Here’s a refresher for you

    To be honest, whoever has the open shot

  24. J I S

    April 15, 2022 at 7:19 pm

    It’s easy. have KD pass to KAI. KD is going gets triple teamed at least in the last moments. The nets are at their best when they move the ball around. At 10 seconds left they have 4 of the best shooters in the game on the court at the same time in KD, KAI, Seth, and Patty Mills. Let KD get tripled and with his ability to pass over them, you got 3 clutch clients, 2 of which are probably wide open. Like when Jordan gave it up to Kerr. If the help stays home, shoot it KD.

    ironic cause kd took the game 1 last shot and missed
