A bit disingenuous having Kyrie as Australian given he was born in Australia to American parents and left when he was 2yo, then chose not to be available to play for Australia.

Yeah, he's Australian, Native American, Chinese, Spartan with a splash of the former Soviet Union. He's worldly.

Someone on your Department of Foreign Affairs screwed up issuing him an Australian passport. There's still time to disown him before G1 starts.

I just want him to play well and not get reinjured, even if it's just for 20-25 minutes.

I have to say KP really struggled with the media on the injury questions. I don't think he believes the calf is ready. I hope I'm wrong.

Erratum from earlier post: Besides Kyrie, Markieff Morris has Finals experience (128 minutes) when he played (and won) with the Lakers in 2020. But we all know that was a fake title so no one really remembers it.

KP is not ready to play. I expect Al Horford to look more effective than him both offense and defense. I just hope he doesn’t fully tear his achilles in the 8 minutes I expect him to be on the floor.
