It's almost like some would rather see Kyrie get 40 and lose. LOL it's pretty wild.

Yes, because the last time Kyrie got 40 against Philly we.... won?

Maybe I'm weird. I don't get actively rooting for a player to fail so that I can be "right" - even though stats still say I'm wrong. I guess I'm wild like that.

How many times must it be said. It's up to him to figure out why it's more cohesive when he doesn't play. He can be effective without trying to be flashy.

Philly was avg 130 pts the last two games and everyone had them in the Finals. Name another team that can go on the road without their star and face a loaded team and shut their water off?

Off the top of my head? Spurs always have a next man up mentality. Toronto has played well without Kawhi as they've managed his workload (funny enough, the fans over at RaptorsHQ seem to want to keep him around).

  • The voice of reason
If you have the opinion that Kyrie is a net negative to the team, your reaction needs to be to fire Brad Stevens due to failure to integrate him into a system. It’s either that, or you have one of two absurd opinions:

1) Kyrie is not a top talent - an incredibly arrogant position given a very large majority of human beings would strongly disagree with you, and there are countless statistics that put him in an elite group.
2) Top talent isn’t important in the NBA, heart wins championships, etc - a view that is so easily disproven by decades of fact.

Either way, I cannot believe that we have spent more than 1 thread discussing any of this.

Geez, are some of you watching the games? Yes it's good to have Kyrie but personally I like this brand of basketball better. Leading a team isn't easy but the team just plays more freely and everyone gets involved.

Please Kyrie fans relax. LOL I can't explain how our best basketball has been without him. I wouldn't gut the team to resign him...but that's just me.🤷🏾‍♂️

It's just so fun to point out the hypocrisy of Kyrie haters.

"If Kyrie goes 3-17, he should be benched." Meanwhile Rozier and Smart combine for 5-22 and its "that's Celtics basketball wooo. BuT i DoN't HaTe KyRiE."

This take makes no sense. Wait, so we won on the road when our backcourt goes 5-22 AND without Kyrie and your point is what again??

Rozier didn't play well and Smart did Smart things but since when did anyone expect them to carry us anyway?

Are Rozier and smart claiming to lead the team? Are they looking at 180,000,000
