I can finally see why Kyrie has made his teams worse

[LoneyROY7]

When you watch him play-in and play-out, it's painfully obvious.

Cat puts up some of the most empty calorie points you'll see off of mainly iso jumpers, doesn't look for his teammates whatsoever, and then gets beat every single possession on defense.

Tough to watch.

[ArbitraryWater]

Yeah he sure gets his, in fact gets better every year at getting his, but no one will get theirs while he gets his, at least he wont look for them. He's a non-playmaker, and his size gets exposed defensively.

He adds nothing outside of his individual scoring, even if its quite efficient scoring.

If he were to tone his role down (which is tough since he's mega skilled and he has the ability to get 30+ every night), he could be a MEAN 3rd option.

But will that happen?


As long as he takes more shots than Harden, he is underselling this team.

[LoneyROY7]

This team isn't SUPER stacked as currently constructed like you were trying hard to sell everyone. Especially with how some of the pieces are awkward fits.

Time to walk that take back.

You watch the beautiful synergy KD and Harden played with in the 1st 2 games, finding each-other and their teammates effortlessly.

And then you watch Kyrie...just do Kyrie. It's night and day. Painful really.

It was very painful watching him in Cleveland with LeBron.

I really would have enjoyed seing a KD/Harden 1-2 punch (although Id have rather seen Harden in Philly with Embiid. Let KD rot away with Kyrie, he's had enough fake rings).. they should have had Irving in that trade.

But hey, they wouldnt have known what we're seing now.

You can still go back to the Rockets or Clippers. If it's going poorly, just switch teams again. If kokak can, you can! :D

[JohnMax]

Kyrie isn't nearly good enough to win as a first option, and is too selfish and ball dominant to be a third option.

That's just the problem, and you don't even realize it. Kyrie will always be your 1 or 2, and you will never win a championship because of it. Just like Iverson. They're "better players" than Allen, easily... but if I'm a coach, and I'm building a team designed to win, I would rather have Ray Allen than either one of them. I'd take Dennis Rodman over Russell Westbrook. I'm sure a lot of people would read this and think I'm out of my mind, and I'm cool with that.

Eh, at that point in his career he didn't have enough clout to go off the deep end. He had to keep it together and pretend to still be a normal functioning NBA player.

Said this from jump. No defense and kyrie thinks he's the man on that team. With bron it worked because he knew his place and the cavs had defensive pieces that could make up for kyries bad defense. No way in hell nets can win a chip.

What kind of sucks is you can tell harden wants to play the right way. They'd have a better chance with kyrie. Should trade him for some rebounding and defensive pieces.

You have to be truly stupid to think Kyrie is better than Harden. Par for the course for Dumbass m8

[HBK_Kliq_2]

The team was better off building around Durant and Harden + role players, like how clippers are with Kawhi/George. Keep Jarrett Allen and trade Irving but obviously that pisses Durant off.

You throw Irving into the mix and you went from beating bucks to losing to Cavs Hahahaha three different high usage players have never been successful together.

He’s done it once in the finals. 2017 finals he scored a lot but had some bad games and was average efficiency wise. Obviously Boston fans know about 2019. Crazy how one series gets valued so hard and gives Kyrie the benefit of the doubt no matter what. Kawhi has one subpar series vs Denver and no one talks about playoff kawhi anymore meanwhile when he has multiple years of great playoff runs.

FIBA come on now patty mills has done more in FIBA than a lot of nba stars Kyrie included and it doesn’t mean shit.

The problem with Kyrie being a machine gun even though it brings a lot of positive value is this team is the last team that needs it. They have more than enough scoring and shooting without Kyrie. I mean you have the 2 best scorers in the league besides maybe curry (Srry bron stans) and one of best shooters in the league in Harris and a few other competent pieces. Running too many plays for Kyrie is a problem when you underuse an even more effective weapon, in this case harden is sacrificing ball handling duties

[Shooter]

Oh please. Kyrie hasn't done anything cancerous these two games. He's balled his ass off. Problem for this team is no KD because with him playing off ball they are top tier offensively. Harden and Kyrie can't really play off of each other that well but KD can play really well off of either. However, their biggest in fact by far their biggest problem is defense and that's largely effort. Drummond and Allen were killing the Nets on the glass. You can't blame Kyrie for that. Yes he's not a good defender but he's not the main reason this team sucks on defense IMO. It's lack of energy, poor rotations and just no physicality.

Wish the league gets to see kyrie shipped to the clippers so he can play with kawhi. Must be a good combo in the playoffs.

James Harden won the scoring title the last three straight years but Mariah Kyrie wants to take more shots :lol

[StrongLurk]

Lol bro Nets aren't losing right now because of Kyrie, they are losing because they have zero interior defense and zero rebounding.

[CTbasketball92]

Takes like just feel so lazy. Last night, KD wasn’t there. The only times the Nets have even been close to winning or have won the last few games is with KD dropping 30 or 40 points and then Joe Harris shooting the lights out. Someone needed to take and make shots with KD out yesterday and Kyrie was that guy. If you ignore his nominal position, there’s nothing wrong with that, especially considering that he’s playing off ball with Harden. Harden needs to shoot 18+ times every game, not 14 when the team is losing. But Kyrie isn’t the main problem. The issue is their defense and the fact that they’ve got one serviceable big man on the entire roster. Cleveland has like 4 and guards to penetrate. Just a mismatch .

[Bronbron23]

Lol bro Nets aren't losing right now because of Kyrie, they are losing because they have zero interior defense and zero rebounding.

Bingo. This is as basic as it gets. Even in an era that is catered towards offense you still have to defend and rebound. These are basic principles.

And it's not just because of kyrie but he definitely adds on to the no defense and no rebounding. They'd be way better if they got rid of kyrie for a couple players who can give them that.

I think a good amount of this is coaching, but from what I’ve seen Kyrie’s gotten the ball and made decisions within like two seconds. Harden doesn’t have to sacrifice his touches, he’s definitely trying too hard to fit in. With their roster being so gutted, they gotta play hero ball until they fill out.

When you have KD and Harden, you want a #3 who's a complementary player, not another chucker taking shots away from them.

2019: Celtics do BETTER when Kyrie is out than when he was healthy. Kyrie is healthy for the playoffs and completely embarrasses himself against the Bucks in the second round.

2020: Nets do BETTER when Kyrie is out than when he was healthy. Make the playoffs despite him playing like 30% of the year.

2021: Nets win first two games after Harden trade, Kyrie comes back, instantly lose two in a row to the Cavs.

I think Kyrie will make the adjustment to being Alfred. Just a matter of time. Harden controls the ball and KD is clearly Batman. If you see the way KD talked to Kyrie, it seems he has no problem speaking harshly.

The more pressing issue is they need defensive big.

[Smoke117]

Ironic thread considering Harden was doing his very best to shoot the Rockets out of the series vs the Warriors in 2018. As I've said A THOUSAND TIMES and Loney has himself admitted...it was Paul who made all the big plays and shots in their 2nd and 3rd wins while Harden was trying to shoot them out of the series with moronic step back 3pters when he couldn't hit shit. I don't think it's any surprise they then lost the series up 3-2 when Paul went down winning them game 5. Harden puts up big numbers in the regular season, but he doesn't show up when it matters.

[dankok8]

Kyrie has been an absolute beast this season. He even had a few nice defensive sequences today. Whoever hates on this guy doesn't know what they're talking about. Nets' biggest problems defensively are lack of cohesion which should improve with time and a lack of post defense and rebounding which they likely need to upgrade their roster to address. For what it's worth they did play much better D in this game than they did against the Cavs even if the final score doesn't reflect it.

Harden struggled today and him making 2 FG doesn't concern but him taking 8 FGA does. He shouldn't be shooting that little.

[Spurs m8]

The hate he gets is just weird.

And it has absolutely nothing to do with the way he plays

It's either Bron stans still crying he was an equal part of the 16 finals run...

He's going to get alot of blame because of his playstyle not really fitting better with KD and his physique, having worse pg vision than Harden too. Then the mental problems, defense, the coach..

[light]

This isn't true. People have hated on Kyrie for the way he plays since he's been playing, because he's a narcissistic, insecure ball hog. He feels threatened by the presence of other scorers on his own team and it shows in his game. That's always been the criticism of his game.

And it isn't exactly weird to hate on someone like him because he's turned into such a prototypical sports prima donna - we're almost obligated to hate on him. And he actually makes it fun whenever he talks (because cringe) so that attracts more people in to hate.

Harden is better, but Kyrie and KD were already probably the second best duo in the league before Harden got there. They were very seamless. I'd take them over PG and Kawhi in a playoff matchup if they have a decent supporting cast. Also I'd consider the idea that Kyrie is just reaching his peak now. Between 2018 and now he's gotten better at all phases of the game. Harden is better, but Kyrie almost three years younger.

Ofcourse almost any team wants a duo like KD/Irving.

But there's one team that doesn't really need Kyrie on their team, and that's the Brooklyn Nets because they already have KD and Harden.

Unless Kyrie does the right things and impresses with adapting to his team's needs.

I see it as Kyrie suddenly finding himself in a position where he's less comfortable and has less to say.

Here's what i think could happen,

1. He's going to keep playing his own game, faillures will be mostly blamed on him.

2. Season ending injury for Harden or KD, green light, no problem.

3. He's going to finally shut his trap and truly adapt to whatever the team needs (less shots, more passing, more off ball, impress defensively etc) and accept third option for a better chance of winning and happier teammates.

Harden is better, but Kyrie and KD were already probably the second best duo in the league before Harden got there. They were very seamless.

So true. Although his handles are still the same, his handles were already GOAT level in 2015, he has learned to set up his midrange better and varries his attack more. He is more efficient in his movements and attacks faster, also uses the triple threat now.

After further analysis, I've concluded that making judgements off of small sample sizes is a disservice to my high basketball IQ.

Apologies.
