devil's advocate you can blame levert he's been out roughly the same amount of time. i like him but he's pretty much an inefficient volume guy.

Poor Cashew :roll:

Celtics lose Kyrie, reach Game 7 of the ECF

Cavs lose Kyrie, make the Finals

Nets lose Kyrie, win at a 70% clip

Celtics lose Kyrie again, also win at a 70% clip

I've never seen a star player be so inconsequential to SO many different teams success. And while it's a brief sample size, so far both the Celtics and Nets have looked better without him

I don’t think people like being his teammate.

Ok yeah it's not looking great now:lol :lol

We were bottom of the league in assists and passes per game with Kyrie are ball movement and teamwork was awful

Ever since he went down we jumped from 25th to 3rd in the NBA in assists per game and are ball movement is like the 2014 Spurs and are defense has improved drastically as well

Same thing with the Celtics why they flourish without him Kyrie Irving is a ball stopping cancer :facepalm

In a 6 game stretch during that run they played Chicago, Indiana, Charlotte, New York, Sacramento, Cleveland...won every game except the Indiana game.

Point? They've played mostly really, really bad teams since Kyrie's been injured.

They played Boston in a back-to-back. Won one of those. Lost to Miami, played and beat the Hawks, and Charlotte again.R= Recently beat the Nuggets. Then they play Charlotte again Wednesday.

They have no control who they can play, but a big part of it is opponent nonetheless.

They lost to the goddamn Grizzlies and the Pistons without Blake or Rose with Kyrie, as well as the mediocre Suns and Timberwolves.

I agree. Kyrie does make the "team" aspect of basketball worse. It'll be interesting to see what happens when Durant and him are together.
