Kinda scary to think that, once again, this team performs so good without our starting PG. As much as I like Kyrie (and I really like and love his skills/craftiness), I am getting the eerie feeling that a PG that holds the ball so much can be counter productive to other areas of the game within a team. Now, I am not making any case against Kyrie, I just feel that this is not the first time we see such trend, the likes of IT or even Rondo, we knew how special those two were in their own space and skillset but we also got to know how affected our offense became. Please note that before I get flamed by this comment, know that I really like Kyrie (and I did appreciate Rondo's special moments and same with IT). Also note that I like to be very realistic towards things. Also know that I have always expressed my opinions when it comes to the importance of a PG on a team. Now, we have to also look at leadership because Kyrie, Rondo, IT (we can name more) ran plays according to the coach. Just a debatable topic in my opinion. Or, pure coincidence? Anyways, not trying to diminish the skills of these guys or bring hate on board. Just an observation. Cheers. I appreciate your sentiments. And, it appears almost an enigma we did so well w/e our star player. How about not playing our 2nd star player...Ha ! I give him 1/2 a star. Performances are erratic. Maybe without Irving, we don't have a player they can concentrate on ? How about we start the same 5 and bring in Irving as a 6th man but play more minutes than a normal 6th man. Dunno ? Just saw a tweet that Horford said "I'll get it going back again" so... This is where I admire those coaches who sit down players based on performances. BS is not one of those so I doubt he will sit Kyrie even if he plays bad. |

Same thing with John wall. You are right. Forgot about that. Ever since Wall went down, Beals game and the whole team ball movement has been better. Wall already spoke about this (same way IT did) and he was in denial. |

I like your analysis Cole all correct . Here's are my thoughts. TOR. Yes they may rest during the regular season. Smart move. We are always tired at playoff time. You expect them to roll over playoff time also? I don't I think they're slightly better than last year. Exactly. They have a better bench that's about all. Celts slightly better also. Tossup? They beat us by 20 last game however. We'll soon see we have two games in three weeks i may adjust my opinion. I am agreeing with Hedley i must admit i'm somewhat confused. |

Wall + Kyrie don't belong in the same sentence as IT.
You do have a point but Brad is the one who should mix it up a little. Kyrie is here to stay is my guess.

Our record should be better too. |

Whatever...a lot of thought...Celts sukkk and Kyrie is killing himself trying to carry these wankers...we should give him the rest of the year off...before he gets discouraged...he will bring us 3 championships... |
