The difference,the knicks are almost a lock to be in the playoffs at this point.Not the case for the Mavs.Every game is crucial for the mavs and losing vs hornets is such a killer

That's just flat out not true. The Knicks are one loss away from being in the play-in.

When the Knicks played the Hornets that wasn't the case. But even it was, there is a difference between possibly falling into the playin and falling out of the playoffs entirely.

True but the Nets are terrible at this point.The mavs are now in the 11 seed after this loss.....

He is a great talent but not a winning player. His teams never win anything unless they have Lebron on them. A great leader would acknowledge that was a brutal loss last night and the team needs to do better, not go after the fans......

I honestly feel bad for Luka. Their roster is terrible and they just keep making mistake after mistake.

Kidd: We played poorly and deserved to be booed

Kyrie: Maybe the fans think they can do better

At this point, Kyrie's biggest skill is tripping over his own dick when there's a mic in his face. The fantasy land this dude lives in...

Lebron doesn't win a ring unless Kyrie saves his azz. Please sop the propaganda.

Lebron has won a ring with every team he's played on. Kyrie has won 0 on any team outside of Lebron. And I'm not even a Lebron fan FYI, I find Lebron annoying but can't deny his on the court greatness.

Yes he knows how to pick teammates that can save his azz. Ask Kyrie, D. Wade and Ray Allen.

I might remind everyone, Kyrie didn’t even make the playoffs until LeBron got there.

You’re 100% right. Kyrie as a team leader is not a winning player, never has been, never will be.

Aside from his time in Cleveland with a prime playing-out-of-his-mind LeBron, when has Kyrie ever actively made a team better by his being on it?

Yes he made a great shot, but we know why that team was in game 7 of the finals to begin with (they had prime Lebron).

That's the worst thing about Ky. He has left like 2 perfect situations already.

3 great situations actually. He left Cleveland after they won a ring and still had a close to prime Lebron.
Boston Celtics great organization with up and coming young talent
Brooklyn Nets had KD and were one of the scariest teams when both KD and Kyrie were healthy this season.

By save you mean make shots? The horror! Can you believe Lebron cant win 1 on 5!

The made more than one great shot ...won that game and thus won a ring for Le Ring Chaser.

Why should an athlete, especially an athlete of Kyrie's stature that won a championship and put in the hours to be one of the most skilled offensive players at his size, care about being boo'd and criticized by people that can't even approximate what he can do and has accomplished.

There's a difference between the criticism and disapproval of peers, people that can do what you do and people that absolutely can't even breathe the same air as you. And fans are at the bottom at the end of the day.

They shouldn't care. At the same time these thin skinned wusses do care, to the point where they're out there kicking fans out of a game if their feelings are hurt.

"No comment" is literally an answer that he could use, but Kyrie cares, so he doesn't.

Teammates are allowed to make more then one shot? This is groundbreaking news! Have you told anyone else?

No by save I mean making game winning or game saving shots that Lebron couldn't make or was too scared to take. Lebron is a great front runner though , when the game isn't on the line he's the GOAT.

Kyrie was only 2-6,5 points in the fourth quarter in game 7 and he was saved when LBJ make a legendary block after a horrible shot by Kyrie on offense who led the warriors on a fast break.....
