I will keep saying it. Sit Kyrie for 10 games and watch how different the team and games look.
...just sayin.🤷🏾♂️
And what's that going to do?
At one point in the game tonight, there was a 50/50 ball on the Celtics end of the floor and they showed no hustle and Dallas (can't remember the player) took the ball straight to the rim.
Or what about when everyone is just standing around waiting for the official to call the ball over the backboard?
Is that Kyrie's fault?
Because the team takes on the personality of its star player. He doesn't have leadership qualities. I'm just saying if he sits watch the difference in the games. What is the issue with criticizing Kyrie?
That's a load of crap. I'd argue that Kyrie is one of the guys playing with effort on defense this season, and that's saying something because he really isn't a defensive player. Look at Rozier, see how little effort he puts in on D. Remember last playoffs? We got too many mismatches because he refuses to fight through screens. Brown is playing bad, same with Baynes. Frankly I'd play Theis more. Trading Rozier will go a long way. Lots of young guys feel like they are stars already when they are are not.
People blame Hayward, he is not playing today and he is one of the guys who are actually playing very unselfishly. What we need are players who are willing to play roles. Trade the cancers, I dont care if they play Yabu and Ojeleye more, I just want guys that will fight hard and will do what is asked of them.
