Everyone’s talking about Kevin Durant after a historic Game 5 that carried the Brooklyn Nets to a comeback victory in a must-win playoff contest.
That should be the case. Dude put up at 49-17-10 triple double to go along with two blocks and three steals.
But as Charles Barkley pointed out on Inside the NBA, the Bucks have some responsibility here too, blowing a 17-point lead. His take? Milwaukee was destroying the Nets in the paint, but they kept shooting threes, perhaps because that’s their style of play.
“That was one the dumbest games,” he said. “I am so mad right now, because they have a bunch of really good guys and they played dumb and they deserved to lose that game.”
"They deserved to lose that game. Shout out to Kevin Durant & Jeff Green."

Oof. But he might be right.
