Kendrick Perkins joins Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman on First Take to discuss why he blames Steve Nash and not Bruce Brown’s late-game decision-making for the Brooklyn Nets’ Game 3 loss vs. the Milwaukee Bucks.

I love how Stephen A ain’t afraid to call out ANYBODY in the NBA

Firstly, KD did not cut or try to break free. KD stood in the corner.

…and secondly? You don’t need to say “firstly” if you’re only gonna make one point, haha.

Probably because he thought the ball was going back to Kyrie as it should have because the play was ran for him.

Perk wrong for this take. You can’t blame Nash if they don’t execute the play from the inbounds 🤣🤣🤣

Stephen A and Perkins are so ignorant about basketball. Last time I check, there’s five people on the court. Bruce Brown ran to the basket because he was open. It was a good shot. It just didn’t go in.

The nets can literally win setting a screen where Lopez is and letting KD pull up

I ain’t blamin’ anybody in this game. Afterall, Durant having a bad night and all while Giannis and Middleton had a best outing and yet the Nets lost to single possession is already saying something…

The Nets Joe Harris forgot how to shoot a basketball and Bruce Brown kept insisting on getting into the lane and missing floaters. Kyrie was mediocre and KD was inconsistent. Giannis and Middleton were on their game. Yet the Nets still had a chance to win in the last min.

Stephen A- “I got my hand on my heart Like Fred Sanford”- dang funny, but then Max, with “I always thought Stephen A was more Like George Jefferson than Fred Sanford”- NAILED IT MAX- If Stephen A wants to get more into acting, and they did a reboot of the Jeffersons he’d be perfect!

Why should he give the ball to KD KD should have called for it or ran to get get it

Nash should called time out set up play

Big Perk is completely correct, The Nets ran a terrible play and no one was open but Bruce.

Bruce Brown was just playing in rhythm and trying not to overthink the last play. he saw a lane and he took it. it turned out to be a bad decision. Steve nash called a great timeout after Joe harris, KD and Kyrie all missed the go ahead shot the last play was simply a poorly executed play after the play broke down. Bruce should have worked to get the ball to Harris KD or Kyrie but all in all he played well and deserves credit for keeping the game that close.

I 100% agree with Perk. That was unexcusable. Hopefully Nash will learn on the fly
