While everyone is talking of Philadelphia and their brilliant season, Stephen A. Smith has already declared their season to be over. Led by MVP front-runner Joel Embiid and recent acquisition James Harden, the Sixers were looking good.

That’s when they faced the Brooklyn Nets. With Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving fully fit to play, the Nets ran havoc. They dominated the entire game and won the game easily with a 129-100 scoreline.

Talking on his popular show, Stephen A. Smith said, ” Here’s the bottom line. I’m writing the epitaph on the Philadelphia 76ers right now. As long as Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are healthy on the court together, book it! It’s a wrap! Philly ain’t going anywhere.”

Although the 76ers are looking good and it is only one game, Smith believes they are not going anywhere. While he praises the Brooklyn Nets, the duo of Durant and Irving have hardly played together. The team has faced an injury crisis all season long and Irving is still not allowed to play home matches.

Will Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving lead the Nets to a title?

While the two players are deadly together, keeping them together is a huge task for the front office and the staff. Durant is fresh off a major injury that kept him out for long and Irving is only playing away games. Moreover, the team has already traded James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Kevin Durant has been in great form averaging 29.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game. On the other hand, Kyrie Irving has been in phenomenal form recently. He averages 25.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game.

After suffering one of the worst losing streaks a few weeks ago, the Nets are finally looking back on track after the return of Durant. They currently take 8th place in the Eastern Conference and are above the .500 mark.
