Celtics (8-2) at Hawks (2-8) Game #11 11/6/17

[knuckleballer]

The Celtics success this year is IN SPITE of Kyrie. We are really just motivated by the memory of IT last year.

And Crowder of course, lol.

[Jiri Welsch]

Where are all those loud Kyrie doubters now?

Seriously.

They're going to insist that they are right until he wins the Celtics a championship.  Stubborn.

I think they’re going to insist that Kyrie has yet to show he’s as good as IT, let alone better. Then throw in the BRK pick, Crowder, Zizic.

IT had 31 games of 30+ points last season. Kyrie has one.  He’s an exciting player, and a very good one, but that doesn’t mean we got good value.

Roy, you're clearly just being stubborn based on preconceived notions. Kyrie isn't being asked to score as much on this as Isaiah was last year. That said, two of the very things you questioned and harped on, defense and passing, Irving has shown to be way better than Thomas was. Agree?

Nope.

You really don't think irvings defense this year has been better than IT's was all of last year (and the year before that)?

Props for engaging an obstinate “Nope.” We need politicians like you

Roy H....IT4 is gone

Embrace Kyrie

New fireballa in town!

Nope.

  I'll just leave it out here.

In all honesty, it seems our team defense is much more effective with the the extra two inches at SG and the extra 5 inches at PG. Individual talent doesn’t necessarily translate to more efficiency as a team!

New fireballa in town!

And an upgraded model at that.

I don't understand how this debate continues, add in Irving's MUCH better defense, and passing and it's no contest. Defense is an important factor in any sport.

Some just can't tolerate being proven wrong.

All I know is we have a team that has the best record in the NBA all while staring two 20-year-olds.

The potential of this team is getting scary.

Classic trap game - but they still got it done.  This team is hungry the same way the 08 team was.

a game like this back to back on the road you just get a W and get outta athere. we did that. no style points needed tonight. a win is a win. this is pro ball.  now we can prep and rest for lakers wednesday. that should be a doozie.

Maybe one more time.

Really hard for me to believe someone thinks IT is a better defender or passer than Kyrie.

I wasn't sure if Roy was saying "nope" because of the passing. If he doesn't believe irvings defense has been better I would like his explanation. He is a smart guy

[knuckleballer]

On CSN right now, why is Horford so much better this year? 

My take...Irving.

[SHAQATTACK]

Well I for one am glade we have Kyrie Irving on this team and i thank him for his part in this win. 

Go Kyrie ...Go Celtics !

The length and athleticism at the wing positions has been huge for our defense and rebounding.
