Kyrie speaks to media, walks back comments against Nash

[action781]

So not only does he think he’s above them all, but he’s not even good for his word? Boston fans were already well aware of this, but how can anyone not see him go back on his word so quickly and react any way other than negatively?

Also lol at him referring to himself as an artist. Chill

I mean we're all just artists when you think about what an artist is which is just a breathing human being trying to do their part and live their life without judgment from other people trying to impose on them who they think they are or who they think they should be and just want to be able to show up and do their work to the absolute highest level that they are capable of every day that they've spent their whole life working on.

I'm glad this dude is somebody else's problem now.  He's a good ballplayer but it just ain't worth the nonsense with him.

One thing I know for sure is that Kyrie does not equal Picasso. I just checked the dictionary for synonyms just in case Kyrie was added as a synonym for artist.

lol we'd better HOPE that BOS is ready for BKN's onslaught...

We joke on Kyrie and everything but the angst around here will be real if they can even sniff their potential.....

If Durant is 80% of what he WAS that's STILL a top 12 player in the NBA........and enough to give us serious problems unless Tatum and Brown take a definitive step forward.

Positivity mate.

Check out my posts since Oct 2009, on here....I'm one of the more positive ones here....won't see ME bringing a Game Thread down.

Again - looking at the FACTS BKN could be a powerhouse if things click for them and Durant sniffs just 80% of his ability post-injury.

I think it's more of posters just want Brooklyn to be bad because they still hate Kyrie as opposed to looking at their roster objectively and believing they'll underperform. But I agree with you - Kyrie and Durant look good early on and with those two back in the mix, the team has a nice amount of depth.

Durant kept calling Kyrie an artist prior to joining each other on the same team, right?

Some positive reinforcement right there.

Yeah, I believe Durant is going to be Dirk-like even after that achilles injury. That size Durant has combined with the incredible shot making ability especially contested shot making ability. He is going to be fine. He can slide up a position on defense and play PF full time. Even C if he had to.

Even if he Gallinari like on defense, with Durant's offense he is still going to be a superstar player in the NBA. A top 10 player in the league.

Brooklyn is going to be good. I really like their supporting cast. The guy I am unsure about is Kyrie. I thought they might need a third star to mitigate that but their supporting cast is so solid and well balanced that they may not need that 3rd star.
