Saw a post on the site today, maybe earlier in the thread, where someone said Hayward wouldn't be getting 30 tonight, in a jab at Hayward. Wrong.

i called he WOULD get 30 and he did. he went over

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I thought I said that but it wasn't a jab. I really thought he'd go off without Kyrie!

I said "I was thinking 40! ;D"

Great game guys! I was speculating that Hayward was bordering on a net negative after he missed his first two shots.

Thank god I’m not a fortune teller.

So maybe kyrie is the problem?

I really think so. That 8 game win streak only happened because he was out. Those Washington, Toronto and Philly OT wins likely wouldn't have happened if he played.

lol ...sorry if that wasnt a joke.

Maybe without Irving, those games would not have needed to go to overtime. We wrap up those games earlier because we would have played with more effort through entire game. And No, I'm not joking.

Maybe with Irving, we make it to the Finals last year?

We should spin off an alternate universe to see if those theories pan out. You in or nah?

Nice to see GH will never get his shot back...worry not..wait til we see that consistently with Kyrie in lineup as well....Bucks...76ers...Raptors do not scare me

nobody scares me IF we get last years playoff rozier, brown, tatum and Al along with the red hot KYRIE and the reborn (well at least tonight) HAYWARD!

I'm happy for Hayward. Let's hope this gives him confidence. Good win!

PP thinks Kyrie is the 'problem'?

ummmm no. its all about kyrie has to be a team player and facilitator also. but know when to take over last 2 minutes per billups. just cannot force stuff.  we need to score by committee

I'm not sure Kyrie can play that way.

see what BRAD can do! its on him! it is brads system!

Obvious solution for this team - trade Irving + Draft Picks for Anthony Davis.

The team does not play as hard or cohesively with Irving as they do without him and a team usually needs a Top 5 player to win titles.
Subtract Irving and Add Davis = Perfect Team.

Plus, we don't have to wait til summer to re-sign Irving to acquire Davis.

Win, Win, Win, Danny !!!!

Kyrie astral projected into the arena and wouldn't let him play well.
