Yeah if you are travelling you are not required to fast

Does this not count as traveling or does he not know because I just saw his post game he swore about 50 times also lol.

I don't know too much nor do I care about Ramadan rules, and I'm guessing Kyrie is in the same boat.

:lol: you and Kyrie are most definitely in different boats :lol:

I just strongly disagree with you, think it’s selling the nets short.

Celtics needed this a lot more than Brooklyn did. I’d had to lose a bad KD game. He could go off in game 2 and this thing would nearly be over


Brooklyn just has to seal 1 or the 2 road games. Agreed.

But Nets blew it. You can't blow games in close series like this.

If KD ever plays like this again Nets won't have a chance.

He has to be the best player in the series and better than Tatum.

This is the 2nd straight game Tatum outplayed him

Kyrie looked to be spaced out the entire game. Looked like someone who had no eaten, anyone catch his eyes during the free throws?

Every single shot was a jumper. No layups, no drives.

that's actually exactly what's his problem lol, he's the moral guy & everything but does things like stepping on a logo, reacting to boos, doing this, etc. He asks to move on yet keeps reacting. Same with all these media boycots he's done, or things he starts to say about him being more than a basketball player, and a human being etc. You are just getting paid millions just to play your hobby. Media is part of all this, a crowd is a part of all this, just behave and be a role model. He just aint that. He sets the standard so high yet he can't prove it himself.

Also probably the best post scorer in terms of skillset ever, him or Hakeem.

Kyrie is great, all time great. I could say he had a better handle than MJ. That's where he might be the greatest. And he has more range on his jumper.
MJ was better in every other way though.

Post game is a wash. Ky's post game is HOF level. Ky also has a better off hand, floater, layup package, ft %, handles and jumper.

It's a hard pill to swallow, but it is the truth. Ky is the most talented scorer in NBA history
Jordan had a better, more effecient post game and mid range game.

This is one of the worst takes I've ever seen

You are underrating Ky's post game. Not only is he efficient at it, but he routinely does it against players 4-5 inches bigger than him. His post game is HOF level. It's just that he is also great at everything else so it isn't one of his main weapons unlike Jordan

Kyrie is an all time elite scorer but better than jordan def not. He’s not even better than Kobe **** maybe not even than Dirk.

Seeing the lack of impact from the players received in the Harden trade must be demoralizing to the front office. This is one of those instance where if they kept Harden this more likely becomes a win. Curry was such a no show.

What? Curry was terrific and Drummond was OK. Issue is Simmons. That was a trade for next year .

Curry’s a no show on defence, decent offensively.

you realize pgs dont have post games at all? the fact that kyrie is posting several inches taller is all time great material.
ever see steph post???? lets not be dishonest and bring guys like luka he is a forward closer to 4.
Doncic will be goat. Lauri will be his sidekick.

Kyrie is outstanding but..... this is in MJ's layup package.

https://youtu.be/-qCCm0V4hvw

I mean, he did stuff like this on a nightly basis, as well as literal perfect footwork. I just don't understand what he can't do that Kyrie can, except ball handling. And MJ had a better jumpshot inside 25 feet than Ky, we're talking a guy who shot 50% for his career at the guard position.
