Nice handles, but he actually stayed with him and got picked to be honest.

[Lexington Steel]

Best PG in the league.

You don't have to do anything fancy to go by Lin

[imnew09]

:facepalm :facepalm

Lin actually played good D on him. Stayed infront of him :facepalm

C-mon I was expecting some ankle breakk

[G-train]

He carried it 3 times.

[navy]

He carried it 3 times.
Probably did that too.

[G-train]

2 in particular were pretty disgusting, he basically cupped the ball.
But that's the NBA these days, been getting progressively worse since MJ.

[KungFuJoe]

That was about as good as one could D up in that situation.

Nice thread backfire op. :applause:

[Droid101]

Cocaine with the loss, as per usual.

Good play by Kyrie but Lin did fine on that play... he got picked that's all not like Kyrie did some spectacular move that made Lin look foolish, Irving jut dribbled around until Lin was knocked out off the play then attacked the paint

[Ariza4three]

Sent his ass back to China :oldlol:
KungFuJoe at home like "其中，在犯规？"

[YouGotServed]

To be fair, no one can guard Irving. Put Lin on an average guard like lets say...Jason Terry? And he actually does a decent job.

Wait I'm confused so does Lebron have enough help or no?

for a minute there, kyrie seems to have crossed himself up and got it right on the 2nd go

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

A bit of hyperbole on your part, but yeah, he got destroyed. Dude has always been sh!t on defense.

He does that multiple crossover thing all the time. I heard another player -- I think Lillard -- talking about it a couple weeks ago... that Kyrie will often cross a guy over and get a little space, but then crossover again and reverse course. He generates several more steps of space by doing that.

^^^Actually had Prigioni beat on the first crossover. The second one turned him completely around. Lin did better than that on OP's play... but not as well at other points in the game. Irving was blowing past him basically whenever he wanted.

I was at that game! My friend got really good seats for free. IIRC Kyrie dropped 38 points and 8 assists and it was one of the best games at that point in his young career. I remember JR looked a step slow because he was just coming back from knee surgery.

Nice man.

I remember that game well. He had 37/11 and took Felton and Prigioni to school all night long. Here are the complete highlights...

It's one thing to see that handle on television... watching the speed of the game live and how he's able to change direction without losing any control is ridiculous.

I just realized op said "Rest In Peace in peace". :roll:

That was the closest I've ever been to the court (second deck, first row, right behind the broadcast cameras) and you really do gain a new appreciation of the athleticism when you're up close like that. For the most part everyone is massive and the contact players receive near the basket seems way more violent. Also the game goes by so quick. If you look away for a second you risk missing something amazing.
