So maybe kyrie is the problem?

I really think so. That 8 game win streak only happened because he was out. Those Washington, Toronto and Philly OT wins likely wouldn't have happened if he played.

lol ...sorry if that wasnt a joke.

Maybe without Irving, those games would not have needed to go to overtime. We wrap up those games earlier because we would have played with more effort through entire game. And No, I'm not joking.

Loved how the team celebrated and was happy for him!

Also, how great was it for Smart to sign autographs when leaving the court?
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Saw a post on the site today, maybe earlier in the thread, where someone said Hayward wouldn't be getting 30 tonight, in a jab at Hayward. Wrong.

Man though... If you're Minnesota, what do you do? So much talent on that team. No heart.

They are similar to Vikings..talent but no heart...

yeah, it was clear they simply gave up at times. except for the third quarter they were the antithesis of marcus smart.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

I'm not sure Kyrie can play that way.

They need a Marcus Smart!
