Yet Irving's infamous mood swings, confirmed by his ex-teammates, which followed him from Cleveland to Boston to Brooklyn, are the unspoken concern that makes Nets officials queasy. When Irving lapses into these funks, he often shuts down, unwilling to communicate with the coaching staff, front office and sometimes, even his teammates. Nets team sources say one such episode occurred during Brooklyn's trip to China, leaving everyone scratching their heads as to what precipitated it.
looking at stats Kawahi is dropping dimes at a pace of more than 7 per game. Really only thing he really needed to improve upon. If that trend continues he has surpassed LeBron in my book for best player in the world. And when Pg comes back makes the Clippers head and shoulders the title fave. They got depth the best player in the world and perfect complimentary super star.
agreed 100% on the playmaking improvement. Was his only real weakness and now it’s not one. But I have a hard time calling someone the best in the world when they need to take the 4th game of the season off due to load management in their age 28 season lmao. He missed 22 games last year (that’s 25% of the regular season) and is already skipping games this year 4 games in.He doesn’t even have a lot of miles on his body. He was a defensive specialist his first 3 years in the league and didn’t become the focal point of the offense until year 6. You’re in your prime and can’t play back to backs? Cmon man that’s BS
We win despite Bricklayer Ross shooting 1/10 and 0/6 from the arc. Would you like him as a Knick?Congrats @stringertom 2/6 Knicks are taking jt
Nets officials already worried about Kyrie's "mood swings" looooool.
Bad karma from vacating Oakland for the other side of The Bay.Quite the downfall for Oakland's bounciest.
Durant? Peace. Thompson? Shelf. Curry? Simmer.
Brothers juiced.Revenge of the Brothers Bash.
Rockets-Wiz... that was such a crazy game. Harden does take advantage of ref-help, but refs suck in general.
Also Gordan Hayward playing well this year. Maybe having a bad year was good for him. Lowered expectations so he can play with less pressure.Loving Kemba Walker. So glad Kyrie is gone. He puts up the sexier numbers but to the detriment of his team.
told you @FRV2
I think the horrendous injury he suffered took a while to reboot to full strength and flexibility. In addition, it’s awfully hard to trust in yourself psychologically that you’re 100% back. Confidence is a key ingredient in executing on the NBA level.Also Gordan Hayward playing well this year. Maybe having a bad year was good for him. Lowered expectations so he can play with less pressure.
There’s a “m” and an “e” in Kemba but he doesn’t act like that and he went for 33 tonight vs NYK to edge them 104-102. JT had a nice 24/6/3 line. Walker was 33/6/5.Tatum going to thrive this year without KyME Irving killing the vibe

I chronicled what 3 Dookies did last night in NO to Denver and one of their victims was Plumlee.RJ Barrett already has had 2 Dukies drop game winners on him in his short career.
Shaq on the attaq against people putting money before free speech.
Also, I'm rooting for the rockets now since my favorite player went there. But I've come to realize I really overlook all the flopping that I would despise if I wasn't rooting for him that harden pulls lol. Westbrook is taking better shots, he would have had 3 triple doubles if the rockets weren't all off on 3s so far. Not that I care he gets triple doubles...lol.
I want Russ to win a championship. This could be his last chance.
Russ and Harden has been fine right now. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to see Harden do what he did last night. I hated watching Rockets games the last whatever years, because that is what Harden does... ISO DRIBBLE DRIBBLE DRIBBLE DRIBBLE STEPBACK ANOTHER MISSED 3. And now I'm forced to watch them and this disgusting Dantoni brand basketball. What the hell is their small lineup to close out games, where Tucker plays center? No freaking wonder they are a terrible rebounding team. Russ provides that, he does most things that Harden does not. Russ has an ego, but Harden is like his brother. He will not take over Harden's team, no chance no way. The man is loyal and a great teammate, regardless of what the media wants you to believe.A fellow Russ fanatic here. Been that way since prolly before most of y'all began paying serious attention to him, and I still maintain that pound for pound he's probably the best athlete in pro basketball history. At the same time I've never seen a player of his caliber with such horrendous shot selection and overall crap bball IQ, which is why I used to say he ain't winning a championship until he's moved to position 2 where he belongs with a true, trusty point a la Conley replacing him.
I'm not as adamant on that front now, but what Russ does need is a Pop-like figure who can command his respect and tame his worst instincts enough to cut down on his ball hogging and keep most of those disastrous 10-30 shooting nites from happening in the 1st place. Sadly (you knew this was coming) the no-D Antoni is decidedly not this dad figure that Russ desperately needs. The guy can't keep the Beard from dominating the ball with the likes of CP3, Gordon and Tucker around and yet he expects the biggest ego in the league to buck that trend? Sorry but I ain't optimistic.

He is not gonna have someone as smart as Pop ever coaching him. It's funny you mention Conley, the guy gets paid 30 million a year and he is usually hurt come playoff time. It's not like he's tearing it up with the Jazz so far lol. But I do agree he's a solid player, when he plays.
PS I been a Russ fan since his rookie year (I actually liked him at UCLA but knew he was raw as hell coming out), he gave the Lakers fits in the playoffs his 2nd year. While KD was stinking it up, it was Russ keeping them in that series. And I witnessed his growing pains, he was bad in the Mavs series in 2011, he had a bad first half in the Finals game 1 2012... when his idol Magic Johnson ****ted on him. The media's been really bad to him, he always got the blame while 'niceguy' KD got all the raves. How Russ was taking shots away from him, how Russ was the reason KD bounced. Now we know KD for the snake he is.
Damn, this post is long.
Tough sledding without a point guard and injury-prone starters.Drummond last week 21/22/3 1 block, 25/24/2 2 steals 3 blocks, 25/20/6 3 steals 5 block. Stud
It was quite obvious that he was not a nice guy when he said that Raptors will never be in the finals again. He is also stupid to attack the whole organization for some stupid fans who had no idea about sportsmanship during the heat of NBA finals.it was ridiculous to see KD constantly referred to as this nice guy when it was clear to anyone who paid attention the guy had quite an ego himself (like when he refused to take the media's bait and congratulate Dirk when his Thunder lost that series). NTTAWWT, you don't get to where he is without a big head, but the original images of KD as a mild-mannered team-oriented professional and Russ as this brash ball-hogging athletic freak have more or less stuck through all these years.
They’re 5-1 and have beaten the Bucks and now Houston. Their only loss was before Butler joined the lineup due to the birth of his daughter and they were in control until the fourth quarter of the loss, a game that was the back end of a back-to-back following their OT win vs Milwaukee.Are the Heat good enough to make the finals? Any hot takes? Put a whoopin on the Rockets.
I'm done watching Rockets games btw. Their defense is pathetic and when you have Harden who doesn't even try at that end, the rest of the team follows suit. Plus that system, I really can't.

I do not expect much intelligence from these guys as they usually have 0 education but a wise person would only express how he had felt. Sitting entire season is only his fault. He should have known better. That also shows how stupid he is. Don't get me wrong, I still think he is Top 5 player in this league and I wish him well.As long as No-D Antoni is in charge, they're screwed. Even Kawhi would be screwed in that system.
The guy was carried off the court to the boos of said fans and ended up losing the championship and his entire next season, so I'd cut him some slack on this one. And remember, your boys are on the court while he's not.
Nothing but love for you BB?
