No one threw Kyrie under the bus. I wonder why...
Hit dogs holler.

:lolbron:

Except for the fact, the dominant narrative wasn't in his favor like it was with LeBron, therefore, there wasn't really anything to refute. Nevermind the narrative around Kyrie is that he can't lead a team to the playoffs - he's the one that's still stuck under the bus.

If they can avoid playing the warriors in the first or 2nd round, then I think they have a chance. Forget about roster changes, I think with the addition of Lebron and Rondo plus all the young players they can beat the rockets, okc or jazz

The Rockets annihilated every team in the conference last year and had GS down 3-2. Utah is probably the 3rd best team in the conference and would maul the Lakers.

Literally half the Lakers roster is unplayable vs Houston. You have to be an idiot to think the the Lakers would even survive against a team that took a GOAT level team to the brink.

I had to google “hit dogs holler”:russ:
In all seriousness nah, I just like to come with facts. My point is that Kyrie didn’t get that treatment because he performed well consistently/to his expectation. Just because he got overshadowed by Bron isn’t his fault, every player in the league is. If the situation switches and his teammates do well we congratulate them. If Klove was a consistent 20/10+ on good efficiency and his play didn’t fall off a cliff come playoff time no one would complain.

Also, when people say that people are comparing Kyrie to Bron. Just because Bron could take toilet paper and used wads of gum to the playoffs and Kyrie can’t isnt fair. No one else really can. He needs a decent team to do so like everyother player in the L.
