Is what Kyrie is doing with the Celtics really that special?”

I like the points you are making, but I never asked if Kyrie is special, that’s obvious. Just if this team is genuinely doing more than last year

I think so. Kyrie lost his 2nd best player, had to get accustomed to an entirely new system, has to help intergrate multiple rookies into the new system while also being the go-to guy and he's exceeding expectations while playing great defense.

Hell no :mjlol:

I.T did the exact same thing last year. Boston wins games because of Al Horford and their ability for all 5 to switch.

Kyrie played defense for the first 7 games and then came right back down to earth

You can replace Kyrie with so many guards on that team and the same shyt will happen

Kyrie losing his second best player is what makes his situation identical to Isaiah. And if you think about it jaylen has made a leap this year. However the leadership of integrating new guys is true but probably 50/50 with brad.

IT shot more last year

Kyrie more efficient shooting this year. Plus you got Tatum now, and Jaylen avg more pts this year.

I'd say he having a helluva year. We'll what he does in the playoffs tho

Kyrie been balling his ass off. Can't hate. Him and LeBron were unlucky not to get 3 rings together.

Yes, what he's doing is THAT special.

This team literally can't score without Kyrie.

They'd literally be one of the worst offenses in the league if he didn't play.

He's a MVP candidate. People are underrating the loss of Hayward because his team is so good defensively. They'd easily be favorites in the east right now if Hayward were healthy and it's a testament to how good Kyrie has been that they're the top seed in the east. Horford has also been really good but Kyrie is carrying the fukk out of them offensively and balancing getting his own shot while still managing to run the team and keep everyone else involved as well.

The reason Kyrie is getting so much love is because of the low bar the haters set heading into the season.

Kyrie haters were trying to act like he wouldn't even be able to get his squad into the playoffs after Gordon went down , let alone have a chance at a number 1 seed.

All that talk about "look at Kyrie's record pre LeBron" shyt done changed up quick:mjlol:.

Granted for Kyrie to make this a truly special season he's gonna have to take down the Cavs in the playoffs

Now the C's are winning because of Al Horford, prior to signing Kyrie Horford was the worst contract in the league according to the coli :laff:
