Stephen A. Smith was in attendance for Tuesday night's game between the Nets and Warriors. He didn't like what he saw from Brooklyn — and that's putting it mildly.
The ESPN analyst unloaded on the Nets during Wednesday's edition of "First Take" after watching the Warriors hand them a 117-99 loss at the Barclays Center. Golden State led by 22 points at the end of the third quarter, prompting Brooklyn coach Steve Nash to wave the white flag and pull Kevin Durant and James Harden out of the game. Warriors star Stephen Curry continued what has been an electric start, scoring a game-high 37 points on 12-of-19 shooting and earning MVP chants in the Nets' home arena.
Smith declared that Durant is "all alone" in Brooklyn and "made the wrong decision" by joining the franchise in 2019. He also unloaded on Harden for his poor play, ripped Kyrie Irving for his "betrayal" of Durant and called out Nets fans for their lack of spirit.
It was… a lot. His full comments:
The Nets are 10-5 overall, putting them behind only the Wizards (10-3) and Bulls (10-4) in the Eastern Conference standings. They have won eight of their last 10 games, and they have not gotten a single minute from Irving, who will continue to stay away from the team until he is compliant with local health and safety protocols. Smith paints an ugly picture, but things could be much worse.
Still, even Nash admits that the Nets don't belong in the top tier of NBA teams.
"I just don't think we're in that category yet," Nash told reporters Tuesday. "We got a lot of work to do."
It feels safe to say that Smith agrees with Nash's assessment.
