Jrue 40% USG this week so all the starting-5 can get POW
Kinda funny how both basically swapped places between teams
Kyrie was hated in Boston, KP was blamed in Dallas
Both teams lost the player while getting little to nothing back (Kyrie walked from us, KP was traded for dinwiddie and one of the leagues worst contracts)
Both players were acquired by their new team for cheap
And now both guys are thriving in their swapped locations
I may be biased but seems well deserved despite not playing as many minutes. His defense since those Atlanta games has been amazing, you can really see opponents struggling and hesitating to get to the rim when he’s on the floor
Didn’t the have 3 blocks on one trip down the floor against Portland? It’s been crazy how amazing his defense has been in this latest stretch..you can see how pumped up he’s getting too, I really love his energy, always smiling!!
Speaking of Kyrie this post got me irrationally mad this morning [https://x.com/ayeayeelex/status/1777159610912190868?s=46](https://x.com/ayeayeelex/status/1777159610912190868?s=46)
