Question for the "bEtTeR wItHoUt KyRiE" crew...
Does the "young guys win games without Kyrie" logic also apply to the fact we're a perfect 7-0 in games Jaylen Brown doesn't play?
Is we "bEtTeR wiThOuT jAyLeN"?
Don't expect many (or any) responses
In games Jaylen hasn't played, Gordon has averaged 17.1 points, 4.5 assists, 5.5 rebounds with 53.7% from the field and 56.8% from three.
I don't blame Jaylen for this... in the same way I don't blame Kyrie for that flukey 11-3 record without him. If anything, there's some truth that we have too many guys and players tend to play more cohesive basketball when there is less talent to balance. Tonight, no Morris and Jaylen paved the way for Gordon. On some nights, we've seen players step up in a big way with Kyrie out.
Blaming Kyrie is just as logical as blaming Jaylen. Neither makes sense when you look at it in context... but the simple fact remains this team hasn't lost in games Jaylen sits.
