I love Kemba Walker

[mr. dee]

I'd say Kemba is the better overall package. Slightly worse than Kyrie but his intangibles makes it up for it by a mile.

[seancally]

Meh, he's just 6 feet. Great player for uptempo games during the regular season. Only time will tell whether he can be efficient in the off-season (especially over bigger opponents in the clutch). He still has a lot to prove in by book.

For what it's worth, he has played 11 playoff games throughout his career averaging 21.5 points on 39.4% from the floor. His respective numbers for the regular season have been 19.9 points on 41.8% from the floor. Hate to say it, but the FG% leaves a lot to be desired.

There, I said it.

Hate to say it but you are incorrect about him Not being proven! I am from CT and watched every Uconn game.  He was the greatest Uconn player I have ever seen in the clutch. They won the national title and it had a lot to do with Kemba hitting game winning shots!!!
I love Kemba and we are very lucky to have him!!

Man... that title run... that was special and one of the all-time great tourney runs. And that team was on the bubble before the Big east tourney, where they also ran the table including Kemba’s dagger against Pitt. I think 11 straight wins in single elimination. And it was all Kemba.

True.

The intangibles is the difference.

Another loss for Kyrie against the Pistons today.

So like Scalabrine?1

I love Kemba too. And I'm so glad Ainge decided not to stick with Rozier.

[gouki88]

Agree with all of this. You can just tell the team runs better.

Everyone seems to be having more fun. All the guys on the bench are laughing, dancing and smiling. They're all constantly cheering one another on. There's been little-to-no on-court bickering, they all listen and do what Brad says, there's a fairly clear pecking order, but not one that is absolutely set in stone.

Even little things like seeing Hayward get genuinely pumped up (like yelling and jumping for chest-bumps) indicate that this team is simply put much more fun and together than our last one.

Rozier was good as gone when he started complaining to the media.

How about Derrick Rose? Off to a pretty good start. Glad to see he's still sticking around, trying to carve out long-term success. He may have found himself a home in Detroit.

The problem with Rose is he always gets injured.

Rose didn't play against the Nets.

Kemba makes much quicker decisions with the ball than Kyrie. He's also a better team mate by a mile.

I think the difference is Kemba keeps it simple.

We all know both Kemba and Kyrie love to score, but Kemba sticks to basics, when open shoot, if not then pass the ball.

Kyrie is a creator.
The problem with that is the offense will be too dependent on Kyrie.

Kemba is a better fit for Brad's system.

[Surferdad]

It's a more balanced offense this year, even with Kemba averaging MORE ppg than Irving:

Last year, KI averaged almost 24 ppg and no other rotation player averaged as much as 16 ppg.

This year so far, Walker is averaging 26 ppg, then Tatum 22, Hayward 16.6, Brown 17.3

Might be less when Kanter plays regular minutes. Morris and Horford had a lot of shots that have been given to the other wings which is less on Kyrie and more on our team style.
But I still agree with you to an extent.
Kemba is a better Stevens system player.

[celticsclay]

I have been a big fan of Kemba so far. He has had a few lousy shooting games, so maybe will be even better. Are him and Tatum headed towRds all star game?

There, I said it.

Exactly. He's only 6 feet tall. Best players he's ever played with goes...
Al Jefferson, who was declining heavily, slow footed, terrible lateral quicknesss. And on the wrong age of 30.
Batum, who went from shooting above 36% for his first 6 seasons at the 3, to somehow shooting around 34.3%.
Jeremy Lamb, who just now is reaching his full potential.

2015-2016 was the best team the Hornets had; but their bench decimated all their playoff chances. That's the difference between shooting poorly in the playoffs because your team support isn't strong enough.

I have been a big fan of Kemba so far. He has had a few lousy shooting games, so maybe will be even better. Are him and Tatum headed towRds all star game?

I think so. Tatum's been rebounding a lot, and All-Star history has shown that rebounds, points, and assists really stand out when being picked. Plus, he's only 14!

Kemba just has more direct focus on what to do, as people have said, he keeps it simple. Reads the defense, drives and kicks, it's no wonder Hayward is somehow shooting above 40% from 3. It's not sustainable, but our ball movement seems like it's more fluid, and we swing the ball a lot more to the hot hand.
