FT Brooklyn 112 Boston 116

I wanted closure, I got it in this one.

Did you know this entire month is Ramadan? No, Ben, why would I know that? Did you know Kyrie Irving is a practicing Muslim? No...What do you have to do during Ramadan if you're Muslim? Fast. Kyrie Irving has been fasting sun up to sun down. That Australian-born, Native-American-identifying, sage-burning-in-dressing-room, anti-vax lunatic became, on top of all of that, a practicing Muslim who has to fast during April, during the NBA playoffs.

This Brooklyn Experiment was great on paper; piss-poor on hardwood. The lunatic couldn't/wasn't-allowed to play for about half the season. Then the owner and GM realized they needed him and he played away games only. Then KD got hurt and they lost 11 straight. Then Beard got fed up with the lunatic and they traded him for another Down Under head case, Baby Ben, who never played a single second for them and wasn't even on the bench tonight. Here's an Aussie newspaper on their least-favored son.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Kevin Durant, who played 47 of 48 minutes tonight, must have been a mass murderer in some past life to deserve the fate of this season in this life.
