Isaiah Thomas' injury is potentially far more serious than you know

i dont know if anyone in the NBA has taken more big shots in the last few years than kyrie.

hes has ice in his veins. i love that.

he will play some form of D here too. just being 6'3 trumps what IT could do defensively.

oh yah- Kyrie i think- is one of the clutchest- if not the clutchest player in the NBA.

his worth goes up in the playoffs- thats for sure- and is something people have underestimated.

Kyrie is never going to be a good defensive player- he doesnt have the strength/athleticism----- but he can become at least a serviceable defensive player and not a total black hole if he gives a shit and tries.

sting who? Jordan?


its not LeBron's fault the guy quit basketball.

no, sting lebron

the only reason hes got that "8 years running" is because the real GOAT retired in his prime to settle a bet he lost.

thats what i mean

thats what i mean

if i a down 1 with 7 seconds left and need someone to get a shot off-- MAYBE i take Durant over him--- but if kyrie isnt 1 i think he has to be 2.

my dream is jaylen takes of this year to compliment hayward and irving. hes got "elite wing scorer" written all over him.

He's a beast.

 

[WiggyRuss]

but like i said--- IT isnt going to have to go to the rim a million times a game and get hammered and split double teams etc...

no way in hell he scores near 30 points again--- but his efficiency is going to go up---- the wear and tear he takes is going to go down---- and he is now playing with one of the smartest most gifted basketball players of all time.

the game is going to get easier for IT. The game is going to get harder for Kyrie---

Esp. since the only other really GOOD 3 pt shooter on the Celtics besides Kyrie is Hayward. That spacing issue is no joke.

Sortable NBA Player Clutch stats

They didn't have 2016-2017 yet.....he's just outside of the top 10 at 12th.

im referring to "big shots" in big moments....i.e playoffs.

should have been clearer.

ehhh...his shot isnt anything special thats for sure- and thats what Boston needs out of its 2 guard offensively- spacing.

another slasher is fine- but i mean- if someone is slashing id rather have it be Kyrie.

i just love what i see in the kid. his shots developing nicely too. stevens gave him minutes, just not a lot of shots. hes learning...

i think tatums a bit overhyped, but may be solid.

ill bet you Brown does not shoot 35% from 3 this year.

*********has to average at least 2.5 attempts per game to be eligible---- otherwise its irrelevant anyway- like Amir Johnson shooting 40% or whatever last year

Why the hell would Cavs accept Isaiah Thomas with that injury?

Reminds me a bit what happened to Bo Jackson.

because all indications are he will be back when it matters and the Brooklyn pick was by far the best asset on the table from any team.


not too mention Crowder on his contract is awesome.

they could move Crowder in the offseason for a solid 1st rounder in about 5 minutes if they wanted too/needed too.

All about that Brooklyn pick. Crowder is a big pickup to back up Lebron as well, and his contract is a bonus. Lebron may finally get some rest during games.

I'd say it is more hope that he's back vs indications.
Way to many factors to make any type of EDUCATED guess, then figure in his mental approach heading into FA next summer.
