Now for the steady dose of Carsen Edwards and Waters to run through the second half.... this team does not have what it takes to compete for a championship. I will no tbe surprised if Tatum starts agitating for a trade in a couple of years if things do not change.

Was this your opinion coming into the game. Or is it substantially revised after watching 24 minutes of essentially meaningless pre-season basketball?

I keep an open mind before the game. I like to see the Cs win every game. I am quick to express my disappointment when I see bad habits that plague the team year after year. Why would they even allow Kyrie to burn Sage on their court?  That is disrespectful.

It's common in Native American culture. Just because you're unfamiliar with it, doesn't mean it's disrespectful.

What is disrespectful is how the Nets are making us look like a G-league team tonight.
It is common to come into someone else's house to burn sage?

It's not a house. It's an arena.

The burning of sage on someone else's court is an affront because sage is burnt for spiritual reasons sometimes to drive out evil spirits. Is Kyrie trying to cleanse the TD Garden of evil spirits?

It's more reflective of spiritual growth and healing. Driving out evil spirits is a product of Americanized horror movies.

you are so wrong about this it is not even worth debating. What exactly is he 'healing' in TD Garden? And what does the 'healing consist of?

You're right. How dare I? Let me go get my pitchfork and torch. Let's all just hate Kyrie forever and always.

Kryie's fortunate as in he has enough money and profile to be called "eccentric". Whereas if I did and said the same things as he does off the court I would be called a lunatic.

I'd back the hippo to have slightly more offensive versatility.

Cs fans like: "I want to see Nesmith shoot"

Cs line-up right now: "Haha - I don't think so"

If it’s coming from Kyrie, I doubt it has much to do with actual growth or understanding.  Preening for the cameras like he’s on Tic Toc is more accurate.

He did the same thing before the game on Tuesday, but tonight it's a juicier story because he's in Boston. He could go do the same thing in Cleveland and no one would care. Some of his beef with the media is valid.

And btw, its TikTok. If you're gonna try to quote the youth, don't go all Boomer on it.

Eh, don’t really care if I get labeled because I don’t have a working knowledge of garbage.  An entire generation of Kardashian wannabes.
