Quite interesting if you ask me.

    If Kyrie and Dame Lillard swapped careers I wonder what would happen

    Dallas still got him on an amazing trade package for how he has played on the court and behaved off of it. But I also think it’s clear he can’t be relied on as a superstar #2. They’ll need a third guy that can trade off with Kyrie. He’s just not consistent enough.

    Boston also does have the perfect defense for guards like him.

  3. That like 100 offensive rating. That’s not good considering u r also a defensive weak link

  4. Team was simply outmatched by the Celtics. But yeah, Kyrie could have, and should have been at least a little better. A lot of those games were tight. And a better performance in one of them could have gotten the mavericks a win.

    But I’ve watched him do insane dribbling skills on Instagram and he’s the most skilled player we’ve ever seen. How can this be?

    I saw someone say Boston is Kyrie’s father and decided to repost: Boston is indeed Kyrie’s Father but we told him we were leaving for a pack of Newports and a Gallon of milk 5 years ago.

    You’re only winning the finals with Kyrie as your second best player if your best player is LeBron James.

  8. FirstTimeLongThyme

    Greatest offensive backcourt in NBA history.

  9. -12 plus minus, which makes him negative all time too.

  10. NoWayNotThisAgain

    We got 99 problems but Kyrie ain’t one

    Obviously team/roster construction matter. But what would happens if you replaced Luka and Kyrie with the prime versions of Steph and Klay? Obviously the offense would work completely differently but would the result be better?

    Boston got in his head. No other way around it. He went from legitimately great during the Western Conference run to a legitimate bum in the Finals.

    Do I think he would have played better against the Pacers, Knicks, etc. etc.? Absolutely. But he made his bed with the stupid shit he did in Boston and couldn’t overcome it. The dude choked flat out and there is no other way you can describe what he did in the Finals.

    Obviously the Mavs had other issues and those all came from the Celtics defense. They locked most of our guys down, took away the lobs and corner threes and just beat the Mavs straight up. But when it comes to Kyrie specifically he couldn’t handle the moment of being in the Finals against a city he pissed off. He played noticably different in Boston. It was all uncharacteristic unconfident shots or hero ball trying to take the crowd out of it.

    I just pray that if they somehow make it back to the Finals it’s against literally anyone but Boston. If anything now Boston is going to be more in his head. Again though that’s all on his dumbass.

    99 points on 99 shots, that’s like 50% field goal accuracy.

    Not as bad as it seemed tbh

    Game 3 is honestly really crazy. Because it’s not awful but it’s crazy that his teammate scored 73 points on only 5 more attempts not long ago

  15. MrRager1994

    Inject this shit into my veins. Vindication for his stupid bullshit he pulled in 2019, just chucking shit constantly

    Kyrie meat riders please get in here and explain to us again how kyrie is more clutch and skilled than Stephen curry because his broke ass pulls off some nice looking dribble moves like he’s a fucking  pickup player now and then

  17. lol bros knew all his moves and had a grudge and no weak links. Chalk it up to a good run and let the kids have one.
