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

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.

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

@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

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

Kyrie has to consult his astrologer before he takes clutch shots

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.

@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.

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
The Realist

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.

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.

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

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

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.
