2017-2018 Around the NBA

[We'reAllKyrieWitnesses]

What MVP goes 4-16 and scores 16 points? That's an hot take at its finest.

Boston as a team is more of a MVP.

The same one who scores 11 of the team's last 15 points, and assists on 2 of the other 4?

Did a Hawk win the MVP after the 2014-15 season? That's the type of team Kyrie is on right now, he's not Russell Westbrooking it, James Hardening it, Currying it... LeBroning it...

Also, I have a serious fucking bone to pick... these outrageous FTs disparities needs to be less obvious than who they want to win. For instance, LeBron is an attacker, that's his honey, tell me why during his 57 point game the man attempted like 8 or 9 FTs, then just yesterday he only got 3 attempts. First of all every foul is a 50/50 foul, refs pretty much have their mind made up, like that last Kyrie foul that won the game, he wasnt touched, or maybe just barely grazed. Thats a no call at that point in game.

NBA officials are really pieces of shit. Then you have Harden on TV, he might just go back to back games with 20 FTs

very interested to see if IT still gets calls

Your opinion, you are entitled to it. NBA writers think he is in the ladder, and fans of other teams chanting MVP when he is not in the Garden can't be happenstance...We knew this kid for awhile now; if anything, he gets better in the postseason.

Man, wouldn't it be crazy if he got on an all-defensive team? Him!? I felt crazy even saying that shit.....

Yeah, that's never happening. I can't even think the biggest Kyrie boner believes that.

The disrespect

Just an excuse for his shitty play.

Steph is the most pathetic excuse for a superstar.

Of course, next to his butt fucking pal Kevin Durant.

Total losers, no competitive, pussies.

We all KNOW he leads the league in FTs. LeBron would have a lot more points, if he were gifted as many FTs as Harden.

LeBron is the MVP EVERY year. The writers are just sick of GIVING it to him.

I mean, imagine the Cavs, without LeBron. He's worth at least 45 wins.

Got to stop including record. I don't even like that's he's the MVP.

It speaks to how bad we really are. Because right now, we're not even that good. We rely on him.

Without him, no doubt in my mind, we couldn't win 20 games.

We are bottom of the barrel bad.

Everyone will say you gotta wait for IT to come back. I hate to break it to some. IT's impact wasn't really that great last year for the Celtics.

His advanced stats sucked for a supposed great player, a lot, despite having his by greatest season ever.

Sure he's going to bring more offense, but him and LB I think are going to struggle to adjust with each other, and his defense is really awful. And we are already awful on that end.

That's why I'm not that excited as some, thinking he's just all that's missing for this team.

 

[Rich]

Aint my article lol

I agree with it though. I think Irving is so high because of his defensive numbers, while averaging close to his career average and his winning streak. Again, don't have a dog in this fight, but the kid is special this year.

First of all, stop saying kid.

Second of all, hes dwarfed in almost every metric by Giannis, on both ends.

 

[blommen]

Comparing Giannis and Kyrie at this point in time ludicrous. Even if we concede that Kyrie is the more versatile scorer, which he honestly isn't right now considering how cold he is from the floor, Giannis's impact is so all encompassing that it more than makes up for his lack of floor spacing ability.

Our team outside of Lebron is a fucking wreck. And at the helm is a shitty assistant coach that should not be a head coach in the NBA. No way we come CLOSE to contending without a massive team overhaul with trades and getting rid of the pick.

Otherwise this year is a complete dud and Lebron leaves, and with him leaves any chance to win a title within the next couple decades.

 

[Burt Macklin]

I mean... he's getting fouled.

By who's standards? Lebron's for example?

 

[Snarly]

The Beast is.... can we move on from this.

 

[Jscc]

The disrespect

He can say that stupid $#!+ because he knows even if LeBron 4-0's Boston, Cleveland is still losing to Golden State in the finals unless something happens/changes.

 

[Nathan S]

I was just following on play-by-play...but the Celtics subbed Kyrie out for the decisive defensive possession at the end of the game, right? And people are still talking about Kyrie as their defensive difference-maker? What gives?
