Okay knock it off. Consider yourselves all formally warned. Tarheels gave his opinion, backed it up with good discussion and stayed within the rules.

I see Tarheels mysterious Kyrie hatred has returned to the blog.
I for one did not miss it

It feels like trolling, to me. I'm going to try and just ignore it and see if it goes away.

My theory is that Tarheels is the human embodiment of the spherical earth.

To be honest, some of his points make sense.

At the end of the day though, we all knew Kyrie was never going to play the full 82 games. I just wish he didn't get injured so early, or need surgery.

I am a bit confused by the take that he should have kept playing and pushed off surgery. Unless I am confused, they discovered an infection when he had this surgery. If he didn't have it when he did, he could have actually had a worse infection and much worse damage. How are people upset the infection was detected?

I'm not. This year was pretty much developmental at this point. With Hayward out, and Kyrie/Smart/Theis, I already let it sink in my head that we just need to be healthy. Literally this roster as is minus Smart/Monroe or Baynes, (whoever we lose in FA,) can stack up to the top teams in both conferences.

No point in rushing someone to not get the necessary treatment.

Oladipo gets two fouls in the first minute. How convenient.

Say what you want about LeBron (yeah I don't care for him either - as an NBA player), but he's still by far the best player on the planet.

20/6/3 in one quarter.  That is unreal.

yea that really put a sour taste in my mouth. Indiana has battled back to get within 6, but that was a haymaker from cleveland and the refs at the same time and not professional sports.

That is such a BS call, and NBA officials are absolute morons that they can't catch that, especially when it's supposedly a "point of emphasis."

Love CLEARLY leaned over to his right to get that foul, yet Ed "Incompetent" Davis misses it point blank. Just a joke.

Sure it certainly helps, but 20 points in one quarter is remarkable regardless.

I'm really impressed with Oladipo, particularly his improvement in PnR and playmaking.  And of course he gets called for his 3rd foul.

Smart play by Kevin Love, but the refs have to be better with calls like that Love jumped sideways to create contact with Oladipo--who has a legit beef.

Just insane how incompetent current NBA officials are.

Even with three fouls, don't you have to keep Dipo out there for the final four minutes or so? I would, just tell him to play smart.

The NBA is so predictable. After Indy won game one was there a single NBA fan out there that didn't absolutely KNOW Oladipo was going to get in early and ongoing foul trouble?

Can't have Lebron be down 0-2 going to Indy.
