The Nets are cursed. I bet if any other team had these 3 together they’d be looking unstoppable.

Like disgustingly ignorant
It does not work on a team sports tho. You can argue all you like. The result is showing.
A pandemic happens once every 100-200 years. this is an unprecedented situation that Kyrie did not create. The decision to get the shot is not a basketball decision. its awful luck for him, the nets, the fans. the idea he should let a losing streak effect his health choices is beyond absurd.
I am tired of your defending.
Dude is not committed to winning that’s all. Bradley Beal and Andrew Wiggins were both anti vaxxers but ended up getting the shot.
He should not let any losing streak effect his “health decision” because he does not want to win anyways. Personal stuff always comes first.
The question is what would a professional athlete do when they are put in similar positions? Would you get the shot when you are in New York City?
I bet most would for the common goal of winning except the flat earther.
Put MJ, Kobe and Lebron etc in that situation, hell yep, they would do that in a heart beat because they are committed to winning.
What it shows is Kyrie doesnot care about winning or maybe he simply doesnot care about basketball. He has other priorities in his life.
Harden has been tolerant but could not do it no more. KD simply is too pussy to voice his real opinion. Imagine Kyrie on the same team with MJ, Kobe or Lebron, dude would be gone by now if he pulled this crap.

It is the ultimatum I talked about earlier. Came from Harden. The Spurs game was a signal he sent to Philly that he was fine and they could move forward.

Cam Thomas just isn't going to carry us into wins despite dropping 30... Pedestrian production from Kyrie & Patty, and just 2 pts between Edwards, Johnson & Claxton pretty much guarantees getting blown out against most teams.
Despite his elite iso game, Kyrie needs to be a better playmaker (yes, despite 6 dimes) and involve the others more in order to get everyone in rhythm and generate a more fluid & sustainable offense.

I don't blame Harden for not wanting to play with Kyrie. But we need to move on from Harden and play at a better pace.
They dont have issues. they are super tight on and off the floor.
You are lying to yourself.
Why keep repeating this when it is clearly obvious that things are not even remotely this way?
Because its true. we see it on the floor, we hear it from hardens mouth and hell we even hear it from fisher who wrote the click bait article who started this
"Kyrie's situation "hasn’t been as much of a problem as one would expect" since he has played hard when available.
you want to hate Kyrie. its an easy scapegoat. so you will ignore anything kyrie, harden, KD, marks, nash, woj, shams, fisher say and just latch on to anything negative and say "those guys are lying" or "they have to say that, behind the scenes its different"
literally everything we know for a fact, has been written, or has been quotes shows that these guys love eachother and want to play together

Imagine that... Kyrie on the same team as Lebron. no way that would work right? they would implode and be a lotto team with Lebron kicking Kyrie out after 1 season right... umm... dude...
Kyrie WAS on a team with Lebron... and they won a title... against a 73-win team, down 3-1, with Kyrie playing like an all-time great and hitting the biggest shot in league history. Kobe loved Kyrie, he was his mentor. He would be supporting him, Kobe was driven by winning but also was big about being yourself and not letting the media and outside get to you.

KD is a pussy to voice his real opinion? He does it every other week on his podcast.

Kyrie is not a PG. its not coincidence his best years were with Lebron/Harden making him a defacto SG.

You are delusional. I am simply saying if Kyrie was on the same team with those guys when Covid struck, would they be ok with Kyrie being part time? No.

Truth. The Kyrie/Harden pair looked amazing.

Tale of two halves.
Tale of Blake Griffin being this playstyle most important player.
Tale of this defense greatest strength is offensive efficiency.

Lebron probably could... He doesnt care about the regular season and he knows Kyrie fits great with him and gives him the best shot at a title.
Kobe of course would. that was his mentor, the guy who would ENCOURAGE him to take a stand on his personal beliefs. Kobe wants guys who work hard and buy in on the court. he would embrace guys taking care of their business personally even if it effects availability. Kobe also had insane confidence, he would just be like "fine ill drop 40 a game instead of 30 we good"
MJ probably not
