this might be the worst performances at this late stage ive ever seen

rebound gets slapped around by 4 players and then bounces out of bounds

Just called not skilled enough. Kyrie coulda finished all the layup bricks of Proctors his rookie year, and Kyrie was probably weaker than Proctor. Proctor has not developed well enough in 2 years.


Kyrie isn't the norm though. Even at 6'5, if you're only 170lbs and skinny you probably will have difficulties finishing through contact unless you have great control and touch.

Being less skilled is a part of it though.



Yeah Kyrie does things most can't No one has ever questioned his skill.

I know people hate the whole "bring back the 90's" vibe, but man watching these bigs the last couple days really does make the game so much more interesting :lol: Clingan, Burns, and Eady have really shown the value of a big body that knows what to do with the rock.

Burns has such a high basketball iq, it's ridiculous. Guy is reading the defense like he's playing against middle schoolers, and i'm loving it!

Duke playing the trap and leaving the paint WIDE open multiple possessions in a row. That time they paid.

DJ Burns vs. Zach Edey will be fun, except he will probably be in foul trouble.
