Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant has been tremendous in the first two games of the team’s Eastern Conference semifinal against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Well, Williams has responded (via New York Post). […]

The Phoenix Suns have been one of the best surprises of the 2020-21 NBA season thus far.

Blake Griffin on the Brooklyn Nets looks like a completely different player from the one that looked like an embarrassment with the Detroit Pistons this season.

The […]
