Dinwiddie putting up Kyrie Numbers with Better defense and without dribbling the leather off the basketball.


A spence led team goes nowhere while Kyrie in his first year in Boston led them to 60 wins... Its a no brainer really :yeshrug:

The Nets situation is one that proves that good chemistry > star power. Sometimes these execs forget that. They had a good thing with this squad and DLo.

but it’s hard to turn down superstars

Its not the same team from last year :snoop:

This team has 9 new players from last season.

Kyrie played 60 Games total that year. Team obviously didn’t need him that year. Beat Giannis/Milwaukee and Embiid/Simmons Philly, took the Cavs to 7 Games, actually played better without him.

Still doesn’t change the fact that he got them off to a great start, 2 times at that.

Kyrie is one of the best guards in the league but he kills guys confidence. He learned that from Lebron :mjgrin:

They’re not “better” without him but guys are free to do more without him on the floor

55 wins with Kyrie playing 60 games
They were like 50-23 with Kyrie

Milwuakee without Brook Lopez that was coached by Jason Kidd and later Joe Prunty, they were the seventh seed that year for a reason. Simmons was a rookie that season and Embiid was in the midst of his first full season on a team with very little depth.

If Kyrie is healthy they likely go to the finals. The Celtics had no one to generate shots for them down the stretch against Cleveland.

HOW COULD THEY BE 50-23
WHEN THE POST YOU QUOTED
SAID HE PLAYED 60 GAMES?

SIMPLE MATH.

:devil:
:evil:

I was posting off memory, they were actually 46-20 when they announced he was out for the year.

I guess he missed 6 games earlier in the season before the major injury

"In Irving’s two seasons with the Celtics (2017-18 and 2018-19), he played a total of 127 regular-season games in all, missing 37 due to injury. With Irving in the lineup, the Celtics went 78-49, good for a 61.4 percent winning percentage. That’s not too bad, until you consider how Boston did without the All-Star guard.

Over the last two seasons, the Celtics have gone 26-15 without Irving during the regular season, a 63.4 percent winning percentage. This season in particular, the team was markedly better without Irving and went 12-3 when he was on the bench or away from the team.

And, while the sample size isn’t huge, the Celtics were also better in the playoffs without Irving. With him this postseason, the team went 5-4 and lost in the second round. Without him last postseason while the All-Star point guard was out with an injury, Boston went 11-8 and made it to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

While those numbers give an indication about how having Irving on the floor negatively impacted the Celtics, they don’t paint the full picture about just how much his presence, which should have been a boon for Boston, ultimately has hurt the team."

Never seen a "Superstar" with so little impact in the Outcome of games. He gives you all the fancy stats, Fantasy league points and Bleacher Report instagram Highlights but takes away from ALL his teammates. Ineffective ass Terry Rozier shooting 30% took his spot and the team didn't even feel Kyries absence, BTW Cavs didn't miss a beat without him either, Made it Right back to the Finals the year he Left. When LeBron left the Cavs went 19-63 with the same roster.

The Celtics Really Are Better Off Without Kyrie Irving. Yes, Really. - InsideHook

Tatum was a Rookie and Brown was on his 2nd year, team was also missing some former all star named Gordon Hayward.

And none of this bullshyt you posted has anything to do with the Nets outside of using Kyries name. He fits Kenny’s system to a T.

all y’all bitter Celtics fans posting essays on Kyrie and shyt. :mjlol:

cant wait for he and Caris to come back and drill your Celtics.

And that’s basically why you put up with his shyt. He can be that little extra mile in the playoffs, when he’s locked in. Hopefully they can figure out a way to be good as a team...while also having Ky out there
