Kyrie about KD: “ this is the first time I’m playing with a player that can hit shots down the scretch too”

Good luck, Brooklyn. Hopefully KD comes back strong

Man I'm looking forward to the Nets next year...

Why would you ever give LeBron ammo like that?

Here's the full quote. In a realgm rarity, it's actually worse than what the OP posted.

the whole point of the me posting in this thread is showing that Lebron helped Kyrie get there. The shade thrown by Kyrie shows he is still NOT capable of leading any team anywhere. There are no guarantees with KD as KD could only get to the finals riding the coattails of other great players as well.

I don't even think people would be surprised if KD and Kyrie don't go to the finals next year either.

Kevin Durant led a young OKC Thunder team to the NBA Finals in 2012 vs. the Miami Heat.

The first Finals game 7 winner in history?

Don't think it's game winner if the team would have won if you missed it, everything else staying the same (which I realise is not a given).

Let's say Kyrie misses and nothing else changes:
14 min left: 71:71
KI/KL/KT/SC combined: 5/23 -> 11 pts (Kyrie closes 1/8)
guy who can't hit shots down the stretch: 5/9 -> 13pts
Cavs win by 1

Can we get odds on how long Steve Nash lasts with this team?

I am pretty sure there were some game winners in previous Games 7 of Finals...

that was a stacked team for sure. one of the best collection of young players ever.

but we are talking about the years after and the fact he gave up being a leader and decided he needed to follow with Curry and the Warriors.

KD is 32 years old now. Achilles tendon injury. Kyrie is going to go ham on social media when they lose.

An interesting way to look at it, but really in the moment it didn't seem like a game winner or even a dagger. There was a lot of time left to play and Kyrie nearly blew it moments later.

technically not a game winner either. Lebron got the last point on a FT I believe.

Also someone remind me where Kyrie led the C's to last year?

Also how far did the C's get this year without him?

Love Kyrie's game that 2016 run him and Lebron went absolute bonkers.

He didn't say anything about carrying a team tho, he said he has someone else in the team that can be clutch as he is. Still a bit stupid considering LeBron is not super clutch but still very good.
