Tatum with 10 and 9 rebounds in his first two games.  Nice to see.

Nice game by Jaylen, when the zebras let him play!
Which was almost never.

Back to back awful displays of officiating. So frustrating

Holy hell, people need to chiiillllllaaaaxxxxx. This is virtually a brand new team playing a really tough double-double to start the season. Oh, and we're literally down two starters who happen to play the same position as the guy that's killing us, not even mentioning the Hayward incident...

They deserve time, but Kyrie is still the same player he was in Cleveland. If you're relying on that player to take you places...good luck.

Kyrie had a terrible shooting night.  No conclusions.  One game.

It's not about the shots falling; it's the way he plays. His game is inherently inefficient. He's a bad passer and defender. He's very good, but he's not a superstar.

Literally everything you said about Kyrie could be said about IT. He only got super efficient after working with Brad. Give Kyrie a full season to learn the offense.

He clearly is feeling out when to shoot and when to move the ball.

Dude had 22 pts, 10 assists, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals last night. It's a little arbitrary to pick this one out of the hat on the second night of a back to back... the second night of the sesaon with a brand new team... against a really good defensive team... and down two starters.

He played well yesterday (on the assists, though, rewatch them and honestly tell me that you think he's a good passer). Again, Kyrie is a very good player. Very good players have down nights. His style, however, is constant, and it's not a style that's conducive to winning.

The Greek went to the line 13 times and the refs fouled out our best player....

2 games in and Kyrie did something IT didn't do last year: 18 missed FGAs in one game.

It will get better, but these first two games have been depressing, albeit in wildly different ways.

Down 5 with 45 seconds to go? Nah, we're too cool for timeouts, a contested Irving pull-up will do.


This type of "coaching" is infuriating.  >:( >:( >:(

TP. Don't understand Brad's philosophy with not calling timeouts in those situations either.

LOL you aren't biased against him at all.

He is a better player than IT. Every single GM in the league would trade IT for Kyrie.

Please, quit hating. And I hate it when people saying hating, but you truly, truly are.

These two are not the same thing. If you want to present a coherent argument for Kyrie being better, then I'm all ears, but I doubt you can.
here's one: he can walk
I trust Danny Ainge

No, not everything, because Isaiah did put up an historically efficient season. You're merely projecting for Kyrie.

Alright, that's fair. I'll rephrase: Kyrie is not better than Isaiah was last year.

The other side of this is the Bucks played well.  Brogdon and Middleton both played great as 2nd and 3rd scorers behind Giannis.  They hit shots that kept us honest and not overhelping on Giannis.  If they play like this consistently they will be pushing for a home court playoff position.

We gotta play better D without fouling, even if the refs are calling everything nuts.  We needed to stop the penetration from Giannis way earlier than we did.

Kyrie plays like he still playing with LeBron on the floor. Kyrie needs to grow into being a leader and a PG.

Still taking all into consideration we're better off with him than IT.

You're not giving him enough credit or the benefit of the doubt. He had a terrible night, but given the context it's understandable. It's going to take awhile for him to get acclimated to this system and out of the iso-heavy system he spent six years in with Cleveland.

Pretty obvious conclusion when Jaylen gets a foul called on him when Giannis has a fiEdited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.l of Jaylen's jersey.
Terrible officiating
