So dumb that they're keeping him hostage like that. I doubt anyone will trade anything or worth for him, like they want. They need to just agree on a buyout.

night owl
Boogie is attempting 7.2 threes per game 
That's what I came in here to say. I refreshed NBA.com a few times and it still only popped up that gameThere’s only one game tonight
Why not just call it a whole day off for the league? Why subject to people to this as the only game of the night?
I guess I will be playing video games tonight, fukk that.
KATs defensewe might have Al Jefferson with a 3 pt shot brehs
His block hunting is driving me crazy. And from what Jum Pete said it’s by design..then Wiggins off ball defense..
I also pointed out that Kyrie was balling and might go for 50,so what are you whining about ?........Kyrie being taking out of the game multiple times has to be pointed out because people keep saying "he's Boston's best defender",which is not true.Horford,Smart,Tatum,and Brown are all more valuable than Kyrie on the defensive side of the ball.....Kyrie's having a great season,and is top 5 for mvp.But lets not inflate his impact on boston.Kyrie's the go to guy on offense.But Bostons defense is better when he's not in the game.ESPN put up the stat last week that showed boston's defensive efficiency is 4 pts better per 100 possessions when Kyrie is off the court.

It’s hella stupid even moreso because there are no games on Thanksgiving either and there are like 45 games tomorrow night. Just stupid planning all around.
I got you again.
A. You posted an article claiming that Kyrie's defense was the key to Boston's success
B. You dapped posts claiming that Kyrie was an elite defender
C. You quoted a poster claiming Kyrie would be 1st-team All-Defensive and added stats clearly meant to support his claim
Plus there was more but it hard to search with all your insinuations, etc.
Ole "plausible deniability gotta hedge my bets" brother.
Look at you hedging the fukk out of expecting Kyrie to lose.
Kyrie gets knocked out right away and Boston still beats the Hornets.
Obviously Gil continues to underrate the team Kyrie got beside him.
You singled out ONE game where you said he "hurt" himself, when he'd actually been re-aggravating it all throughout the postseason. Like I've said many a time, the game in that series where he actually hurt himself was in Game 4
Except I didn't "single out one game." That's total bullshyt. I only mentioned that he got hurt during Game 3 to explain why he played worse from Game 4 on than he had during the first half of the series.
Then you made a big deal with this, "YOU GOT THAT WRONG! YOU GOT THAT WRONG!" bullshyt because you remembered him getting hurt in Game 4 and forgot he also got hurt in Game 3. You have such a hard time catching me slipping that you got excited when you thought you had something.
When I pointed out with multiple receipts that Allen got hurt in Game 3 TOO, and thus I was right to say he got hurt in Game 3, you started weaving and dodging trying to move them goalposts.
All the while totally ignorant of the fact that my whole argument was that Allen's injuries led him to be more limited in Game 4 on than he had been in Games 1-3, thus showing that he got hurt in Game 4 further PROVED my narrative right. Injuries in the 2nd half of Game 3 and in Game 4 are an even stronger case for me than the Game 3 injury alone.
But you can't see that. You don't think straight when you talk to me, especially when I catch you in something wrong, because you want so very, very badly to never admit that you are wrong.
You're just covering your tracks with those posts, to make you seem like you're being reasonable. You have a habit of doing it. You post semi-compliments about his game and you follow it up with some passive aggressive shyt. Why did you feel the need to bring up that possession to take away from his game in the first place? Why did you feel the need to say "notice Kyrie's been taking out on defense", why didn't you speak about all the defensive plays he made down the stretch? Why even bring up that when he had a great all-around game?
You've said these things about him this season: called him a role player (in the very first game of the season), said he was padding his stats, mentioned how Boston is better with Kyrie off the floor in one game, mentioned again in another game that Kyrie was padding his stats, mentioned Boston's defense is better without Kyrie on the floor, taken credit away from Kyrie and attributed it to Stevens, made another condescending remark about how Kyrie while not playing great, is having positve impact as if he was a role player, said that if Kyrie were to win MVP it would mean LeBron would be the underdog, repeated over and over that Kyrie isn't the MVP, called Jaylen Brown the best Celtics player.
The list goes on and on and on. All these little snipes at Kyrie because of your LeBron stannery. I have NOT seen you make half as many comments about any other player (other than LeBron).
"People" do not keep saying he's Boston's best defender, and please, don't bullshyt me with that excuse either.

It seems like there's been several questionable days this season already where they could have scheduled sh*t better...

This might be some of the biggest bullshyt deflection you have EVER posted on here.
They hardly even got a shot OFF that whole run the Celtics were stripping them left and right.
How you gonna use whole-game stats mostly racked up with Kyrie on the court (which basically is just claiming they were lucky to win) to discredit an 19-0 run the Celtics made without Kyrie on the court???
Every defensive play after Rozier comes in for Kyrie:
Rozier and Brown suffocate Livingston and Durant, forcing them into a turnover
Rozier is right up in Livingston's face as he misses a midrange jumper
Rozier strips Curry for a turnover
Horford and Smart collapse and force McGee into a turnover
Curry misses a three with Rozier literally on his hip
Green misses a semi-open shot at the elbow, Horford challenging the shot and within six feet
Horford, Smart, and Brown force Curry into a turnover
Smart and Ojeleye force Green into a turnover
The run had 5 turnovers, 2 tightly-guarded missed shots, 1 semi-open missed shot.
And you excuse that shyt by posting stats about all the open shots that Golden State missed when Kyrie was IN the game?
You better just admit defeat on that one fool, because you were on some bullshyt.
I didn't say he couldn't switch, I said he couldn't switch everything, like Tatum/Brown/Morris/Horford can.
And Dirk looked
as fukk in that game. 
I often said that Kyrie COULD play good d, just that he wasn't playing good d. I repeatedly attributed it to effort rather than skill. (Though damn, the man still keeps dying on screens even with Stevens' tutelage....maybe that skill needs a little more time.)
Point to where I said this or even insinuated as such - you're using quotation marks so clearly you must have evidence of me saying this. I know when you're losing the argument that you have to resort to straw man bullshyt where you try to scale back a player's contributions at the other end of the spectrum from where you were originally arguing from.
Oh, I got you there again.
How about right here where someone posts that Kyrie gonna be 1st-team All-Defensive, and you quote him with stats CLEARLY meant to insinuate that he got a case?
How about right here where you quote the full text of an article which claims that Kyrie's defense was the key to Boston's early-season success?
How about right here when you dapped a comment which said nothing other than that Kyrie's elite defense was driving Boston's success?
I got dem receipts fool. Got you again.
I'm gonna remember that shyt.
Player averaging just 21-3-5 on average efficiency while conserving his energy for offense, leans on other players on defense, isn't elite defensively....
But he has an MVP case just because his team has been playing at an elite level?
Not just ONE possession in that game, it's happened three times now. Clearly Brad Stevens sees Kyrie as a liability on defense in those situations.
Anyone can make ONE bad play. But for the coach to pull you, it doesn't mean that just one play went bad for you...it means that you've created an expectation.
There's a whole world of difference between coming short on "one possession" and getting pulled from the game because the coach expects you to come up short.
