F*** losing. We only have two less losses than the cHeat. I want to swap picks with them this year.

I wasn't trying to say the kid was perfect or none of the turnovers were his fault as I said a COUPLE were not his.

It just seems like he plays in control and I'm always surprised when I look at the box score and see the high turnovers. I'd love to see him just play with a finisher around the rim. None of the guys he plays with can finish with authority.

I think he looks like a complete player. I saw him put some solid d on Nash at times, I think he is a playmaker despite his low assist numbers, and he can score. I think he just takes what he has to when he has to. I don't see him forcing things like Sessions

New here. I was just wondering if there was any sight with all of the post game interviews especially after tonights game. Thanks!

How many times does Sports Center reference LBJ during the game recap? At least we finally have a player worthy of SC highlights...

 

[QuadrupleDouble]

All this we have to lose shit is dumb for two reasons.

1.) We weren't as bad as our record was last year. We essentially sat everyone to make ourselves worse. Look at the miraculous groin recovery when Mo went to LA. (WTF is he doing now that LA has Billups and Paul?) That team was completely meant to revolve around Lebron. He was the sun to the solar system and when you remove that the whole system is out of whack

2.) We are ten games in and the wheels could easily fall off anytime. We might have some injuries, the rookies could get scouted more and hit the wall, this could just be blind luck. It's too early in the season to say we're too good right now.

Replace Casspi with Gee, give Irving TRUE starters minutes, and his #'s will be all-star level.

Great win but I'm ready to lose the rest of the games this month.

well I am not . . .how many people after last year would think this team would be .500 after 10 games with 7 out of the first 10 on the road

people who come just to say we should tank need to stay out of game threads ! ! ! !

This team wont play like this every night, but they're going to do it often enough that I just dont see top 3 lottery territory this year.

Kyrie is getting better every game, tonight he was basically the number 1 option out there. His D had a big assist from AV who basically doubled Nash every play. There were some one on one situations where Kyrie got burned, but overall did a decent job on Nash. Offensively, he had 26 points on 11-17 shooting. More importantly, it looks like he can actually hit free throws, has three point range, and may finally be that quick PG type that just gets around whoever is guarding him and finds a way to score. I think we all remember guys like Tony Parker and Rondo doing that to us over and over again and it'll be nice to have someone of that caliber on our side.

Jamison played well, turnovers were limited, and the team shot 52% from the 3 point line so when those things happen, it usually results in a W. I was impressed that the we didn't get assraped in transition.

Tristan did a couple nice things out there in limited time but I feel like he would shoot free throws better with his eyes closed. AV was an absolute monster out there. The key stretch was the game was when AV came back in at the end of the 2nd quarter and the Cavs were able to take back the lead then basically keep it through the entire 3rd with both units. Kyrie basically closed the game himself and held off a late run with some help from Gibson and Gee starring with the 1st unit at the end there.

We had game 2 of the Semih Erden era. He showed some hustle, but nothing really on either end that impressed. Well, he did foul out in 12 minutes but thats a different type of impressive.

Irving is surrounded by a great corp to learn the game. I dont care about all star or minutes or anything like that for Irving. he isnt just learning how to play in the nba scott is teaching him to be the leader. to trust his teammates to let other people handle the ball and work without the ball.. these are things that are important.

i just want to be a top 5 pick..that gives a chance at a good shooting guard or sf

We've all probably heard it 300 times, and I agree with the quickness comparison to Parker/Rondo, but his FT/shooting abilities are what makes me think he could end up in a class above them (CP3/Rose category). That's a LONG ways away and a terribly hard comparison to make, but Paul's game is really the only one in the NBA that Kyrie's mocks. Great vision, quick movements, the ability to take a guy one-on-one and score, and the luxury of draining threes/hitting 86-90% from the FT line. Only difference thus far is that Paul had somewhat reliable players to dish the ball to for easy buckets (Chandler, JR, West, etc) in his early years.

Kyrie played fantastic tonight. Good win!

You guys who whine about us winning too much suck.
