The Kyrie Irving Brad Stevens Celtics marriage is a testy one so far

WHatever. Isaiah pounded the rock just as much if not more than kyrie does

he did but he's a better leader, more willing passer and more eff scorer which means he doesn't need to shoot as much because he gets a higher volume of ft's than kyrie:ehh:

Why are you asking a question to which you should know the answer to, and the reason(s) why. You're trolling is transparent.
i legit wanna know, i'll wait for you to do your googles m8...:skip:

What's really "worn out" is all these LeBron stans making threads about Kyrie TWO games into the season. It's corny and pathetic.
nikka foh, you call everybody a Bron stan... WE GET IT!:pachaha:

as much as you been bringing up defense at the pg spot to prop up lowry and remind everyone that westbrook isn't playing any?
:dwillhuh:

Only in the context of what I'm arguing about. For example, a lot of folk on this board praised Westbrook for averaging a triple double, my argument was, is it something to praise him for when he's sacrificing defensive assignments to grab rebounds. It would only be "funny in the light" on my part if Kyrie did the same thing, and I ignored it, which obviously he doesn't.
as many times as you want to say who and who isn't running offense?
Again, you're not providing any context behind my arguments when I bring those points up. Here's some fun advice for you - Kyrie had the second best keep-in-front drive% on defense in the Finals last season (out of ALL players), and he traveled more distance on defense than any other player in the Finals, all at a faster pace than Klay Thompson (who is known for shadowing guards all around the halfcourt).

Pretty good for a player that's 'one of the worst defenders at the PG position'.

So I take it you don't really follow your own team at all, because any "Cavs fan" would know the lack of wing depth they have when Bron is off the floor greatly affects the team, or the small sample size when he is off the floor and the lack of an offensive structure bears the weight of not being able to find enough rhythm or time to build consistent offense, which just keeps adding to the negative plus/minus during every game.

keep in front drive defense :russ: that's the stat you gotta run behind when a guy has the same drtg as Thomas :hhh:

I'm putting YOU in context. You the last person that should be defending Kyrie after you been shytting on gunning, no defense, combo guards that get propped up by better players on their team.

Don't make me test this search function doggie

Its just funny hearing kyrie stans talk about him being hindered by ''bron ball'' then seeing him play like shyt in a ball movement system. :mjlol:

I agree its too early to jump to conclusions but the arguments involving gil are hilarious. . :mjlol:
Did you not watch the Celtics/Cavs game? Did you not see him moving the ball and playing well? So ONE game on a back-to-back when he had to adapt on the fly without Hayward, where he was forced to be more aggressive is now an end case of him not being able to play in a "ball movement system"?

Ah now that I had my two little chuckles on this post

The team has to adjust to the franchise guy.....not the other way around....Stevens may have his utopian idea of what he wants to happen...

but he has to fit his system to maximize Kyrie's tremendous skillset....

of course if he wanna be stubborn about it that is entirely up to him
