Kyrie needs to step up now. Calm this team down. You are the darn PG. You are the veteran on a team full of young players. You are the star. Take more responsibility for the team.
Not a leader.
Woah what an overreaction. How can you call yourself a fan when instead of supporting the players after what happened, that is your first reaction?! Shame on you!
This is a new team, players are still finding their roles. The team is just starting to build chemistry, their identity. Its not going to take a quarter to get over this. Even Horford cannot calm the team right away. Even I am still in shock, and Im just a fan!
Shame on you!
Exactly.
Saw video of Smart consoling Irving, he was taking it pretty bad. His head is not in it, like everyone else's. It's going to take a bit to bounce back from this one. At least now they will be let known that Hayward could be back this season and it's not career ending. That may put some ease into things for the next week while they figure out a new game plan.
Stevens has to be down too. It's his boy.
But this could make the team stronger in the long run. Take a hit like this, lets see how hard we can hit back. Get the young guys more reps.
Now DA going to need find a wing with that extra spot if it's still there.
