No sure about anyone else but I’m sure glad we haven’t traded Kyrie yet 
Lol. Glad this thread got revived
Fabulous game again and yet Boston was actually better again without him on the floor, just as they were in the Toronto game i.e. +4 in 36 minutes is worse than +2 in 12 minutes, just as +4 in 38 minutes is worse than +5 in 10 minutes. This is where it is always tricky in these things and were many of the same arguments being made when IT4 was torching people, especially in the 4th quarter, yet the team often performed better in the only place it really matters when IT4 was on the bench.
Yeah if you actually think we're winning tonight and against Toronto with Kyrie on the bench, then frankly I don't know what to tell you. Without Kyrie I honestly think we get blown out (yes, even tonight w/o Kyrie).
It's really funny. Using stats from when our bench, which is loaded with starting calibre players, pick on Toronto's lineup without Anunoby and JV (not to mention Kawhi, Lowry and Ibaka) or abuse a lowly Memphis bench to somehow imply we're better without Kyrie is just hilarious. Some crazy context blinders being worn by Moranis
Moranis the Math Manipulator strikes again!
My God!
