Khanben:Nobody said Magic and Bird were dragging or carrying teams. It was called the Showtime Lakers remember?? It was not Showtime Magic With MJ and the Bulls it was same thing. Pippen got credit maybe even too much credit. You keep conflating issues. Star player is different from flat out saying someone carried a team like other players on the team were just bums Again Bronsexuals are largely responsible for pushing that narrative of carrying. They do it with the NBA Finals streak, they did it with the narrative that KD joined the Warriors just to stop Lebron as if another player on the Cavs didn't outscore the Warriors best player in that series Kyrie getting a pass is a myth. Don't use this isolated season to push that false narrative cos Kyrie has been persona non grata since Boston. You're the one rehashing history here 3 Likes 1 Share |

Khanben: Did he really show up better in playoffs than the regular season, or did the charmin soft lakers "defense" make MPJ look like 6th man of the year? 3 Likes 1 Share |

birdman: Yes the Lakers perimeter defense is worse than that of the wolves, but for someone whose main contribution is floor spacing sometimes shots don't just fall |

A40: Kyrie has been dragged about things outside the court. As for me that is none of my business and I don't care. As far as basketball is concerned, In the last 6 seasons, he got injured before the playoffs in his first season with the Celtics and that team made it to the conference finals. The next season he was the top dog and that same team got swept in the first round. 3 seasons with the Nets where he did nothing in the postseason one season he played 9 games and in the next he got swept in the 1st round and only played well in one game. Let's not talk about how underwhelming he was in the OKC series. So yes, he has been getting a pass on his underperformance for more than half a decade. 2 Likes |

Khanben:There you go capping again. Kyrie was dragged and tagged as a locker room cancer that failed to lead the Celtics team. I remember very vividly and you have also admitted that they went further without him than they did with him. Who do you think was getting all the blame for that gentleman sweep to the Bucks? It certainly wasn't Tatum or Brown Literally the only year he got any type of pass was the year they lost to the Bucks in 7 back in 2021 Kyrie literally gets shitted on for his lack of success without Bron. Don't rewrite facts about Kyrie's dragging solely being over his off court stuff 2 Likes |

Just saw the all nba defense team. I think I like this no position format, because the list of 10 IMHO are arguably the best 10 defenders in the nba give or take 2 other names |

I could t have asked for a better start to the game. Excellent job on the boards on both ends. |

Our defense was horrible in that 1st half, especially during transitions. We need to get them to play half court. |

Excellent job JT for not settling and pushing his drive into the paint. |

Pacers landing Siakam has been such a gamechanger. Seems he's living up to the agenda I was pushing that year 1 Like 1 Share |

Why is the coach not calling for the foul in that situation? |
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 3:40am On May 22 |
Pacers undone all their work in the last 10 seconds of the game. They should've gone for the foul immediately. Inexperience |
