I noticed ya'll only mention Kyrie when he loses lol. It was the same thing Cav fans did when LBJ left. They would only post about him when he lost, but wholly avoid LBJ topics during his success lol. They would flame me for pointing it out, mods would even threaten banning me, so I just backed off lol.
I guess it is something people are not wholly over. Having a great talent, but it not working out hurts (Trust me, I know). As humans, folks want justification. Want to see them fail; want to see their pain, because it justifies them leaving.
Well, I am just gonna say the same thing I told Cav fans. Let it.......It takes too much energy to hate. Cream always rises to the top. Greatness, is great more often than not. We all know BKN will mostly likely get one ring. Then what? Avoid Kyrie topics all summer? Or will you give him props? We knew LBJ would get a ring, then what? Keep hating on him? For how long? At some point, you got to let it go......
I mean, the guy was averaging 30, 2nd in scoring. He is going to have off nights lol. Come on, are you gonna bag on the kid after every bad game. Come one, lol. You guys are 1st, why beat up on a guy whom isn't? It comes off as sour grapes because you guys are waaaaay up here, but still going down to kick a guy who finally had an off night.
Anyways, we made NYK have a press conference after falling to us. They must think we are really bad lol. Or losing to the Cavs is rock-bottom. Are we that bad lol? LBJ & Ky are gone but [dang]. That was the ultimate panic button if I ever saw one.
No, I am not beating up on NY, it just comes off as we suck so bad, that the upper heads had to address it, ouch..
It's not much hate as much as proving people wrong. Nets will never win a ring with Kyrie. People gushing over his scoring, but let's not forget his other negatives. He's not very good without the ball and seems to be moody that affects his motor at times. His scoring doesn't seems to translate well to W's as the Nets record suggest. Kyrie doesn't elevate his teammates and I laughed when I hear Nets broadcast talk about his so-called leadership.
Well, I think it is.
However, you guys have zero reason to hate on anyone. You are the #1 team in the NBA. Kyrie is currently +21, highest in the game with a big lead at the half. Nobody is talking about that. However, I guarantee if Utah comes storming back & Ky starts to play like crap, you guys will start to mention him.
All I am saying is, with the way you guys are playing, it just comes off as petty. You guys are on top right now. It it wasn't hate, you guys would keep the same energy when he does well, as you do when he plays sub-par.
As for BKN, they have two top 10 players, they will win eventually.
As for my team; I am proud of the way they played, even in defeat. This is true progress.
Anyway, good night, good-luck BOS, unless you are playing the Cavs hehe.
