Not his game, but his personality and leadership. First, with some of the crazy stuff he said over the summer and the passive aggressive comments towards the Cavs. But, I guess whatever he says in the offseason isn't too relevant... can't judge players by that.

But I am TOTALLY concerned with the "leadership" he has been displaying on the court, specifically this Bucks game that's currently going on. Scal mentioned that he listened in on a huddle and Kyrie was yelling at someone for failing to get a pass to him. Then, when Jaylen got in between Kyrie and a pass, Kyrie started totally yapping at him. The camera actually switched to Jaylen's face right as he was rolling his eyes.

Blaming people and pointing fingers is NOT leadership!! The thing that happened with Jaylen was completely understandable... accidents like that happen at least once or twice a game. Also, I don't like the idea of Kyrie yelling at anybody regarding passing. Not only is that somewhat hypocritical for a notoriously iso-oriented player, but that's Brad's purview. Stevens can - and will - handle that stuff. IDK what Kyrie learned while being "the man" on a crappy team, nor what he learned under Lebron, but I really, really don't like what I'm seeing so far. That could hurt the solidarity of the team long run, and it wouldn't take too much to subvert the culture after Ainge just traded away our heart and soul.

Anyway, not trying to hate on Kyrie, but I'm legitimately concerned at the way he has been conducting himself professionally.

Difference between being soft leadership and aggressive leadership. We need some aggressive leadership.

Marcus Smart was also yelling on Brown last year on botched plays.

I can't say what will become of Kyrie, but I can say that this team looks a good deal better than last year's team -- and when Morris, and eventually Hayward, return this team will be deep and very talented.   

I don't miss anyone.

Completely Agree.
 
People are comparing last year's team, with three seasons for the core to get, to this team, which is completely revamped.

I just don't get fans sometimes.

Clearly it will take some time to figure things out, that was true before Gordon went down, and it is even more true now.

This teams ceiling is so much higher.

With only 2 turnovers.

There's going to be bumps along the road guys. That happens when you turn over 75% of your roster, are already down an important rotation player (Morris) and lose the a key cog in the 1st game of the season.

Let's just cancel the season then. Forfeit the 80 remaining games. There's no point anymore, we lost to the Bucks.

To be fair,  Irving is learning the role.  We can give him the benefit of the doubt for awhile.  Hell, maybe LBJ leads this way and he was just trying to mimic.
