Irving out again !@#!

[Chief]

Sit AL too. I want them healthy for Toronto.

Well without Kyrie and Smart ON THE ROAD against a scrappy team like the Nets, Rozier and Brown are going to get their shot to prove their worth. Let's see who steps up.

I like this...

[GreenEnvy]

not a good look for him, after he called everybody out.

What did he say? I was busy all weekend so I just caught the game and saw how upset he was with Hayward (although there IS a 5 second count and had  no timeouts left, and Gordon has the ball and he still didn’t begin to move).

Was something said after that I missed?

basically...  I should have taken the last shot.  Why you passing it to JT?

Before people make up quotes and lie for their own agendas, here's the interview and actual quotes of what he said as summarized by gpap:

Take a listen to the interview

Also, notable quotes which you conveniently left out

"I know for a fact we are better than most teams in the league."

"I've got to do a better job as a leader."

When referring to the Cavs teams he was on, he states "their window was closing where we have like a 13 year window here..."

And finally, he doesn't even call anyone out by name.

Not so bad. The team is more fun to watch when Kyrie isn't playing.

So true.

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I tend to skip games this season that he doesn't play in.

You have skipped some good wins then

It's interesting how beating below .500 teams like Dallas and Minny go from "expected" to "good wins" when he doesn't play. Nevermind the good wins we've had against Toronto, Philly, and Indiana with him in the lineup.

How would any win be "expected" at this point? I also never dismissed the wins with kyrie, he's a phenomenal talent but not a great leader or teammate really

The mere fact that people are so mad at "bad losses" means the expectation to win is there.

"fun to watch" ****.. I'd rather have Kyrie dribble and score than watch Rozier try to do the same.

Interesting how you can say that when he’s one of the most popular players in the league and has only quarreled with Dion freakin Waiters.

Just coming up with nonsense

[tarheelsxxiii]

Sounds about right.

So true.

How's that working out for you tonight?

This narrative is such crap. Irving is having an All-NBA season, yet, it's his fault.

What would it take for people to really watch the game, remove their biases and look to see who are actually playing bad?

Brown is up and down, some of it mental but I think he will get it right.
Hayward is playing poorly, his explosion is still not there but with them losing it looks like his mentality is affected by it the most, like he is trying his best not to cause even more hindrance.
Tatum has regressed, still a good talent but shot selection has gone worse.
Rozier has been crap, too unselfish, too lazy on D esp on screens, even his rebounding looks worse. He should realize that if he plays badly, his value will drop and so will his potential money.
Al hasn't looked 100%, I don't care much about his regular season as long as he is at peak and healthy come playoffs.
Baynes has been injured.
Williams is a great talent but still raw.

Morris, Irving and Smart I have no concerns, they've been playing really well.

I'm so glad you people posted this for everyone to see. That 3rd quarter must be really fun!
