Copernican-level discourse. We here at Chonestown HQ love too see Sid do the damn thing (posting).

Laugh it up if you want to, but our society has serious issues and I respect that this is more important to him than sportsball. He should take the year off at this point, though.

Nah 2.5 Billion people got the shot hes a misinformed clown who thinks he knows better then the folks who dedicated their lives to public health. Hes a selfish dude. You get no kudos for me for "researching" off youtube vidoes and memes. One of the biggest issues our society has is a lack of empathy and Kyrie is showing that he has none. Its a ME society here and Kyrie loves him some ME.

Nope! Kyrie is not about that corporate life.

6-hour uninterrupted Twitch streams, tho...c'mon. Truthbombs upon truthbombs upon truthbombs.

One way or another, Kyrie was going to miss half the season anyways.

Mills is a gigantic liability in the playoffs, BKN is 110% better w/ Kyrie over Mills.

Kudos to Hitler for sticking to his belief system. You can agree with said belief system or not, but…. Ah hell I won’t bother with the rest.

This whole discourse about it being “a personal decision” is hilarious. First off, you play a team game where you need to sacrifice for the good of the group. Second, sure, make it your personal decision. It doesn’t show integrity. It shows extreme narcissism. If the 3 billion people who take the shot do experience longterm issues, is Kyrie Irving really going to be that beacon of hope for the world?

+1000

I was going to write that Kyrie would fold like a cheap suit when threatened with losing his entire salary, but now that he will get half his salary for sitting at home, it's a toss up. I still lean toward him folding rather soon.

Not getting into the political bs of this. Believe what you want.

All I know is I don't want any excuses if the Bucks win it all again.

Might look like a fool for this take but I think Javon Carter might end up a really nice backcourt partner with Harden. Carter is best when he can guard PGs but not have to actually be a distributor on O (he has no real PG feel for the game) and can just spot up from 3.

I'd start him and bring Patty off the bench to score on the second unit.

Amazon owned twitch seems like a perfect place for Uncle Dope.

Reminder, keep the politics off this board and head to the CA or General board to opine

Most of the world is still sane, its just the insane ones are louder... Right?

About the Nets... Ill predict this last half a season, then Irving comes back and they will be worse after that.

And i'm speaking from the country with the highest vaccination rate in the world (even though its not mandatory and 100% volunteer). I guess we will all die soon?

Just as a PSA in case any posters are vax hesitant because of the mRNA aspect of the Covid vaccines: the J&J shot is a traditional vaccine. You can get that one if you're concerned about the new technology.

Still highly doubt he sits out for a meaningful period. I think this is him forcing them to let him play, which is crazy. I bet he folds in the next couple months.

The funny thing is that everyone is talking about Durant’s foot, not Kyrie’s that lost them the series.
