Kevin Durant (Brooklyn Nets winger, after his team’s victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers): “It will take a lot of effort for 48 minutes. Every possession, every game, simple as that. We’ll see what happens. We will have to stay disciplined, play together and play with passion.
I don’t have the game diagrams or the strategy to explain it to you. It’s just a whole. I think that’s what every team has to bring if you want to win the playoffs. So this discipline is huge for us. You just have to play hard and see what happens. Jayson Tatum is so talented, skillful and efficient at what he does. We just have to play our game.”
Kyrie Irving (Brooklyn Nets point guard): “It starts by slowing down Jayson Tatum. It is effective against us. All the others around are complementary during the offensive phases. And when “JT” gets doubled and Marcus Smart picks up the pace, Jaylen Brown plays good and shoots, Al Horford, you know, dominates the offensive rebounds. And Daniel Theis replaces Robert Williams, it’s huge.
It’s going to be a real test, like I said. I know their team very well. They know us very well. It’s going to be a back and forth on the floor. Once you throw that ball in the air, you’re really gonna see some spectacular basketball, I’m just looking forward to it. »
