Fans are fickle—- Kyrie didnt do anything IT couldn’t have tonight. Did you forget how he led the league in 4th quarter scoring and couldn’t stop a runny nose? Well Kyrie did nothing but score in the 4th but had a sub par game overall. Seems like IT had much better games last year. This game was won by the Boston team. Smart got some monster rebounds. Your wing players played great defense. Brad coached his &&& off again. You should be happy that Kyrie doesnt have to win a game like this for you...your team plays well and Kyrie is just one guy on a good team.


Well with 3 minutes left he kind of put the team on his back...


Offensively on his back right? Which is essentially what IT did last year better than anyone else in the NBA... unless I’m missing something....

you're missing the 'we need a star to applaude'.It's obvious that IT did it a lot of times,it's also obvious that Brown kept the Celtics in the game while Kyrie was thinking about the flat-earth theory.
It doesn't matter.It's easier for the fans (who are that influenced from the media) to give credit and be hyped about Kyrie than Brad Stevens or a youngster Brown though Kyrie was kind of awful today. for most of the game

Not true. 11th best defense going into tonight, 8th before Toronto shot the lights out. They stopped playing defense after they pulled away.

90 is INSANE. Houston has crazy offense

Also Suns are trash.

Nothing like shooting 56.5% from the field and 66.7% from 3 and down 25 at the half.

Suns are just so bad.

It feels like yesterday, I was watching Steve Nash throw between the leg passes to Amare Stoudemire in the Pick-n-Roll

The Suns are so awful....I feel for PHX fans, scary thing is they have a couple of immature players like Jackson and Chriss that I worry about over the course of the season losing their cool. They really, really need the draft to help them out soon.

Come on Rockets. Go for the jugular. 186 points is the record for points scored in a game ever (triple OT). At least beat 173 points for regular time game. Perfect team to keep your stars on in garbage time when Booker did the same to make 70.

Charles Barkley just did a 180 on the Celtics and now is suddenly really impressed and called Kyrie the MVP :lol: :lol: :lol: Best part of the streak is watching the Celtics make analysts look really dumb all throughout.

Chriss not being good is still weird to me. just no feel for the game. Fouls like crazy and makes so many bonehead plays.
has all the physical tools though

The same night a team won a game shooting <33FG% and <23 3PT%, another team is losing by 25 at the half while shooting >55 FG% and > 61 3PT%. It's like God decided to give Houston/Phoenix all of GSW/Boston offensive powers and to GSW/Boston all the defensive prowess of the other teams.

Let's talk about that "11th/8th best Rockets defense" midway through the regular season. :wink:

This game is so terrible. Suns doesn't know how to play defense.

Rockets are going through the motions with no effort.

Harden getting the MJ treatment.

Holy ****, its already tough to watch the suns play defense but when they calling touch fouls on anyone defending Harden, it must feel really bad to be a suns fan right now
