December 11, 20187 yr damn entertaining 3rd quarter. the fourth should be great. oh and Lonzo Ball *just* missed what would have been the dunk of the year. Awesome game on our hands after a slow start. Also Justise Winslow has been balling as of late.

December 11, 20187 yr lmao, lebron walked off the court with his team and forced the refs to review the play, so the refs reviewed it for about three seconds. fair play to both of them.

Anyone who has the opposite opinion of you two idiots is correct by default. The next great take you have will be your first one. For example, you were too dumb to even read the quoted text before you responded. As far as Derka is concerned, most of us would buy him a beer and argue basketball with him because while we don't always agree, at least he has intelligent, well thought out responses. You on the other hand hurl insults but don't come back to get that crow when the person is right. Like when I told you that Shane Buechele couldn't play in Tom Herman's offense before he even set foot on campus, the whole board was on fire. Where we at now? Now on the Kyrie bullshit. You don't seem to understand that a lot of guys in the league really don't care about winning. They would rather shine and get paid than win titles. A lot of other guys in the league don't actually know how to play basketball. Maybe they are athletic as hell. Maybe they can dribble their ass off. However, when it comes to understanding what it takes to win they just don't have it. The league is full of those people. John Wall is one of them. Melo is another one. In the video below one of the smartest players in the game, Draymond Green, brings that up at the 12:45 mark. Charles Oakley then goes on to say, " and some of them are in the All Star game". I put that there so you can see that I am not the only one who thinks the way I do. Boston has been able to make their way to the playoffs with three dramatically different rosters, including all the way to the ECF without Kyrie or Hayward. So maybe the engine that is driving that thing is Brad Stevens. Maybe Kyrie is the guy we saw in Cleveland before Lebron came back. You know, the guy, who despite all his razzle dazzle, couldn't get the team past 33 wins. After all, Stevens figured out a way to make Isiah Thomas look like one of the best players in basketball.

December 11, 20187 yr A weird time for the "I told you so" with Kyrie, thatguy. What with Boston winning 6 straight and absolutely demolishing teams; the only game they've scored less than 118 in that span was last night without Kyrie. I don't even necessary disagree that Stevens is the engine of that team and Kyrie's leadership abilities are still in question...but they still have a hell of a lot higher ceiling with him than without him.

December 11, 20187 yr So what condition does he have? This looks more like the aftershocks of a stroke, or tourettes. He has a task specific dystonia.Similar to the yips in golf, or Chuck Knobloch's inability to throw the ball to first base.

Oh, I know. Pelicans twice, Bulls, Knicks, Cavs, and Twolves. The Kyrie thing isn't an I told you so. Like I said before, Boston was the one seed while featuring Isiah Thomas. Brad Stevens seemingly can win with anybody. No one ever questioned Kyrie's scoring ability. The question is whether he cares about winning or being a leader. I don't think he does. I think he just wants to bounce the rock, have a good time, and get paid for it. Nothing wrong with that.

I'm sure they don't give a fuck how many hip shot threes he heaved up in college. I still think he will be an epic bust. Trae Young doesn't understand that they are pressing you at the three point line because they don't think you can drive around them or properly execute a pick and roll to break down the defense to get shots for other guys. That isn't respect, that is disrespect.

When Kyrie requested out of Cleveland (after he found out that they almost traded him for Paul George), the four teams that he listed as desired destinations were New York, Miami, San Antonio, and Minnesota. Obviously, the first two would support your "just have a good time and get paid" theory. But no one requests a trade to fucking San Antonio or Minnesota for the glitz, glamour, and sponsorships. He respects the hell out of Pop and the culture he built, and he saw the young pieces that Minnesota assembled and thought that he could help them reach the next level. Maybe you (or I) don't agree with how he goes about everything, but it's hard to question his desire to win.

Maybe you (or I) don't agree with how he goes about everything, but it's hard to question his desire to win. When you request to be traded and you are a superstar, obviously whatever pieces they have will be gone in order to get you. So while that theory seems fairly sound, he would have to know that they wouldn't be the same team without him. Maybe those are teams he feels have coaches in place that run a system best for him? Not sure. Regardless, Kyrie is already talking about retirement at age 25/26. He even said in a quote one of his friends calls him the basketball version of Lauren Hill.
