    Kyrie and the Celtics played themselves.

    Who wanna play with a ? that can't take a backseat to the best player in the league?

    The best player in the league that had to take a backseat as Kyrie closed out the Warriors for that Cavs title in 2015.

    Nothing wrong with Kyrie getting TF outta Cleveland and from under LBJ.
    Obviously he wasn't too impressed with the best player in the league.

    Yeah man, let's completely forget what lead up to that shot for ur tired narrative =)=)


    Thats exactly the point.

    Remember we were talking about why would Kyrie want to leave LBJ at that moment.

    Why would Kyrie want to stay under a guy who gets all of the credit (in his hometown basically) but Kyrie has to close out finals for him and gets little recognition for it while some claim be's being carried along.

    Any competitor who's closing out finals for the "best player in the world", would probably think he can lead his own team. Right or wrong, I respect it.

    All due respect, ur an idiot fam

    Yeah it so idiotic to surmise that Kyrie would rather lose away from LBJ than win with him after he demands a trade.

    Kyrie did hit the shot.

    But let's not act like LBJ didn't ball that entire series.

    And Irving was ? as ? in the 4th quarter every game this past finals

    You leaving out the fact LeBron was just as bad

    He was no where near as bad. Not even a little bit.

    Kyrie was pathetic in 4th quarters

    You're saying that like Bron was superior.

    LeBron
    Game 1: 1-4, 2 points
    Game 2: 1-1, 2 points
    Game 3: 2-6, 5 points
    Game 4: 1-5, 2 points
    Game 5: 5-8, 10 points

    Total 10-24 41% 21pts

    Kyrie
    Game 1: 1-1, 2 points
    Game 2: 3-7, 7 points
    Game 3: 2-6, 4 points
    Game 4: 3-9, 8 points
    Game 5: 0-0, 0 points

    Total 9-23 39% 21pts

    Please tell me how LeBron was nowhere near as bad


    Exactly.

    I don't think the Nets will be as bad as people think,they have a decent coach.

    Dial up playing for his next contract and wants to prove himself after getting bushed by magic.Lin & kilpatrick solid

    Crabbe,carroll,levert,rhj solid/servicable wings.They just need another big(niko,jamychael) if they rescind foyes qo they'll have some dough left over to sign a big.In the east they'll be more competitive than the last 3 years.

    Bulls,Hawks and suns will be neck and neck for the worst team in the nba next season not the nets

    Leave my Bulls alone man........


    We've been through so much since the GOAT retired his 2nd time.

    So, Lebron and KD left in free agency and we hate them.

    Do we hate Kyrie now that he left? Or do we not hate cause he forced a trade instead of leaving in Free Agency?

    Fickle ass fans.

    Boston losing bradley and Crowder is big... those 2 with smart was hustle and defense that's gonna be missed. Offensively they gonna be tough. Brown and tatum gonna eat

    Sorry it's just not going to be as big as people want to make it, Crowder got this lockdown defender title when he's not and he really can't guard multiple positions like that, he's 6'6 without a ton of length and athleticism, if Hayward isn't a better defender it's close enough to being a lateral move where it shouldn't even be mentioned like we just loss something significant, Jaylen already proved he can step in at the 2 and we won't miss a beat when Avery missed 27 games last year and he really showed his true potential in the playoffs against Bron and my personal favorite moments when he was covering Wall and had him looking clueless, he also got 4 inches on Avery and is an athletic freak, throw in Kyrie>>IT defensively regardless if he isn't a good defender or not we got better defensively overall, a bigger question mark is will Jaylen be able to provide spacing consistently

    Boston was like the Detroit rick Carlyle chuck Atkins teams on defense hustle heart effort.. kyrie ain't gonna give that... hayword ain't gonna give u that... now Crowder gone. With Bradley...yall goin the golden st offense route cool but what made y'all tough and gritty is gone imo.

    Crowder isn't a strong defender, how many times we gotta keep telling yall that lol

    Hustle and effort

    No way the Cavs move that pick for Boogie only to have him IT and Bron all walking next summer. Only way that happens is if the Nets are lookin like a playoff lock by the deadline
