I actually just find it funny to be honest. (Not annoyed by it too much)
Sort of like playing the "villain" role or opposing side on here
Like @tarheels, I hated the trade, but @tarheels definitely seems to either hate Kyrie with a passion or consider Isaiah Thomas his second son
Don't think he's alone on here though. I do miss Isaiah as well.
I guess I find 'playing the villain' something else, particularly when the posts are often inciting in nature.

I understand you don't like me, and that's fine. This post is simply a veiled insult -- you can get away with it per forum rules, but your intent in clear.
You're thinking is very black and white. If you'd like to have a meaningful convo, answer this for me -- in what ways may Kyrie be privileged in the NBA? Now, and throughout his career? I've had this convo with many people irl with a lot of substance.
It's clear you aren't even reading my posts, evidenced by this one and the last time you quoted me in another thread.
I have a broken arm, so could u please quote that for me?Since I'm sure you won't, I will. Here's evidence youre not even reading, just attacking:
Doubt it, lol
How quickly we forget a historic season...
Not really at all. I think we're well suited to defend him, especially if his slows him down. And it doesn't really matter about his offence, because he won't be able to stop anyone on our team from obliterating him. Is he going to guard Kyrie? JB? Tatum??
He and Kyrie will do an awful job of defending one another, as theyre both horrible on that end. I'm happy to point out all of Kyrie's mistakes for you during next game, if you remain doubtful.
Lol bro.
IT isn't even close to Kyrie as far as defense goes.
Bias aside, that shouldn't even be in question.
Cool dude.
I'm high on pain killers, but I'll bet you 10 TPs that i did not state that in the quoted post. Deal?
Remember... wherever you are wayupnorth, there you will be.

I have absolutely noting against you personally, or even your posting in general. In fact, I quite enjoy it, except when you constantly hate on the best player this team has seen since Pierce/Garnett.
We all get it, you hate Kyrie for reasons that have nothing to do with basketball. You are free to have that opinion, but don't act surprised when you ruffle feathers talking constant crap about this team's best player.
Kyrie is this team's leader. He is a better fit with Brad and a better fit with the roster than Isaiah was. It sucks to see a gamer leave this team like IT, but it is about banners, not the best feel good story.
You deserve all the push back you get when you imply Kyrie and IT are on the same level defensively, or when you say he is the most privileged player in the league.
I for one could not be happier with the player that has helped lead us to 22-4, but if you prefer to root against him and try and down him at every turn, I cannot stop you. But I can respond.

1. They have a ton to do with basketball. 2. "Implied"? You're reachi
ng b/c of your bias against me. 3. Your finding my comments "lol worthy" is an insult.
Answer my question...... in what way may he be privileged? He's undoubtedly tyhe most privileged in the NBA

What does being privileged have to do with being the best player on this team since KG/Paul?
What does it have to do with him playing excellent ball and being the best player on a team starting 22-4?
As I said, you have issues with Kyrie outside of ball, and referring to his "privilege" is an example of that.
I have not, and am not, attacking you personally. I did, was banned, and have learned something from that.

You responded to my privilege comment. I did not comment on anything else you're saying... nothing about how good he is since whoever. I don't care to discuss that, I already have for months.
