Where did D.O.S. go with his Small Sample Size monster meme? Because we could sure use that about now.
Are people literally already forgetting the monster 40/10 Christmas game where Kyrie virtually singlehandedly won us the game?? In today’s game, you don’t win championships without a player of Kyrie’s caliber, and right now we don’t have anyone else near that level of player.
you are mainly "starstruck" and is unable to see that.... Hayward can't get his game going (because he is more than a spot up shooter), same for Brown, Rozier, Tatum in some ways...
Maybe the reason Kyrie single handedly won us that game is because he was the guy that put the team in that situation in the first place.....the team synergy plain out stinks with him on the floor. And I can't believe my eyes but he is as bad on the defensive end as IT4. Maybe even worst.... just no 2nd effort. No rebounds, no steals, no in your face defense..... like I have said many times, PG defense is the first line of defense. Once that is weak/breaks down..... the rest of the team has to compensate
The recipe to properly build a team around a PG like Irving is to have a player like a Williams on C (to bail out Kyrie), Horford at PF (3 and D), Ariza at SF (3 and D), Beal at SG (3 and D)..... Let Irving basically do whatever he wants on the offensive end
The recipe to properly build a team around CBS/Hayward is this current roster without Irving/Rondo type excessive ball handling/ball holders and substitute with Murray, Hield, Beal who are system guards
