    As a Celtics fan I am sooooo glad that cancer know as kyrie left cause it enabled us to get kemba who is balling out and is a much much better fit, I feel bad for dinwiddie cause he deserves to be starting but kyrie won’t have any of that and we all know he’s taking off more time than he needs cause he’s waiting for 🐍to come back. I mean dude thinks 🌎is flat lol

    spencer has already said he’s gonna go back to bench once kyrie and caris come back, he knows he’s not better than kyrie, the nets know he’s not, yet the media out here always tryna label what kyrie is tell teams what to do with him

    also interesting how paul pierce the celtics fans thinks kyries best basketball came with lebron and not with the celtics were he was putting up better all around stats on better all around efficiency, even last year while he was getting thrashed by media and fans he was historically efficient

    “Not sure the 3 extra seconds would have helped the pelicans because it was all nets in overtime”. I have a question? Are you serious or just dumb? NBA teams score 50% of the time. So 3 seconds the pelicans could have scored and overtime wouldn’t have been a thing. Do yall even think at espn?

    Kyrie should’ve just stayed with Lebron but nawwww he wanted to be come a leader

    Whenever they talk “bigs” it’s position less basketball. When it’s guards it’s he’s the point and the other is the two guard.

    The defense would be TERRIBLE with Kyrie and Dinwiddie starting When the team is at full strength Dinwiddie and LeVert should come off the bench

    She was dead wrong. The Nets are in fact a better team without Kyrie, as are the Celtics. Kyrie should be happy he played with LeBron, else he’d be Carmelo 2.0

    How many times do we need to see a teams record that says “With kyrie = losing record… Without Kyrie = winning record” before people realise this dude is a selfish ballhog, cancer in the locker room, & realise what LeBron had to deal with.

    Kyrie only played 11 games are you serious right now like you guys don’t know how basketball goes. Kyrie is to small to play the 2 and he just has to relax on trying to over extend himself. He only played 11 games and they’re in the same spot without Kyrie so what are we talking about

  17. Christian Edwards

    December 19, 2019 at 12:41 pm

    First off you need a bench in this league to be a good team having Spence come off the bench gives them scoring off the bench. This why you guys aren’t coaches nor make decisions b/c you guys don’t know how teams work. Paul Pierce should know that and that’s irresponsible on his part not to explain that to people who don’t know

  18. Jesse Alexander

    Sober Paul Pierce is a wise man. I agree.

    Isn’t this the Boston problem all over again? The issue is that Kyrie isn’t a good leader, he’s just a very good player. That isn’t enough to win, he didn’t win before lebron got to cleveland and he didn’t win in Boston. The same will happen in Brooklyn. Once Durant comes back, they will be better because Durant at least knows how to fit in a system. But Kyrie will never try to fit into a system, he wants to be the the system even if it’s a detriment to the rest of the team. I don’t see how him and Durant will fit well together, either way Dinwiddie or Levert will end up not reaching full potential and leaving. It’s a repeat of Terry Rozier, Jaylen Brown and Tatum in Boston. Honestly, it just isn’t a great fit.

    ESPN continues to say “teams are better with Kyrie even though teams have better records without Kyrie.” Define better. Come on.

    Kyrie isn’t that good to not play two way. Yes he’s a great player worth max but so are a lot of other players and at this point and time Boston has some way better getting an aged kemba Walker than a prime kyrie. Just a Napoleón complex coming from him.
