[konkmv]

Very bad defence... rebounding problems

Officially on the “Kyrie plays hero ball down the stretch and it hurts us” train

hero ball, hero ball?  seriously.  KI had the layup that just barely rolled off the rim.  that just after draining a long 3.   

He's a -13.  We are hiding him on Oubre,  and Oubre keeps scoring.  He has sucked,. But hey, 20 pts

Since when are the C's hiding KI on D?  He's been at the top of the defense guarding Beal or Wall.

don't engage

he has an agenda

Right.  So here's what we will do -- I honestly want to help you guys...

I'll rewatch the game and give you timestamps for all the possessions he was hidden on Oubre.  I get it... his brand is super cool.  But you guys need to open yuor eyes if you want to effectively argue this stuff.

i think it's pretty obvious that you just really don't like kyrie

i like him and can still admit he didn't play great. every game is different

you talk down to people who support him as if they can't understand basketball


it's absolutely fine if you can't appreciate him on a daily basis, but if you're surprised that people call you out on your blind hatred then i don't know what to tell you

[Billz401]

I know I'm probably in the minority here but I'm not a fan of baynes at all.. he just doesn't do anything on offense and defensively hasn't been that great lately. Hoping he can get better but those no look hook shots every game are pretty horrible to watch

don't engage

he has an agenda

I realize that having seen some of his posts in other threads. 

But when it's blatantly obvious during a game that he's not watching the same game everyone else is, that's when you destroy his credibility (assuming he has any).

I've watched every second of this game -- read thru the stupid thread.  You literally just can't handle the objective truth, so you choose not to see it.

Where was he offensively at the end?  Why is Tatum the guy we continually went to for buckets?  He's a supertstar, MVP etc.

edit: Personal attack reported.  Easier to see the game when u played D1.

You're incorrigible. 

What personal attack?  Your posts define "lack of credibility" based on an pre-existing agenda which precedes you by reputation.  When you're wrong, you resort to reporting people for "personal attacks" to vindicate yourself even when shown to be biased and flat out wrong.  And do me a favor and lose your condescending attitude, mkay, or I'll give something real, not imagined, to report me for.

This. Love ya, Tarheels, but the trolling/blind Kyrie hate is starting to reach LarBrd33 levels of annoyance.

he is a good back up big to have, unfortunately he starts on our team right now.

[SCeltic34]

We're a .500 team at this point.  We're only 8-6 in December and 5-6 in our last 11 games, which includes a lot of bad losses.

Is the bolded a joke?  I'm being dead serious.  How many times do I have to say it?  I HATE KYRIE IRVING.  I HATE KYRIE IRVING.  I HATE KYRIE IRVING. 

That in no way effects the way he defends, that he was garbage today, etc.

I get it, his brand is awesome.  The movie will probably gross a lot.  He is absolutely an incredible offensive talent.  But he's super limited -- literally sucks at half the game that's played.

I'm sorry you guys feel that way.  But jpotter, you were incessantly hating on IT.  Every game, without fail.

LarBrd was also one of the best posters of all time.  He literally goes viral on Reddit. 

I get that it's difficult to accept he isn't the savior.  But again, no team is winning a championship with Irving as their best player.

He does this. I once just listed Kyrie's accolades and he labeled it a personal attack. Just do what another poster said, don't engage. Just report him when he's in game threads legit cheering on other teams.

Okay.  I will create a thread tomorrow.  It will be entirely for your benefit.  I will timestamp every single possession that Kyrie was beat or responsible for points tonight.  I've literally been accurate in every single post I've made this thread.  Again, I am sorry.  But who cares??? We weren't contending this year anyway.  It's not that big of a deal.  And his movie will probably be awesome.  There's lots of NBA players in it, I think.

[Vox_Populi]

We're a .500 team at this point.  We're only 8-6 in December and 5-6 in our last 11 games, which includes a lot of bad losses.

The defense, bench, and rebounding have been the biggest problems. The bench was actually good today, but the rebounding and defense late, have been horrible.
