This one is done. Sorry Kyrie was horrible defensively and failed to show up in the 4th quarter. Those clutch stats took a hit tonight. Tatum looks promising as a go-to option though, and we have the assets to eventually land a two-way superstar.
Again, maybe your argument would be taken more seriously if you weren't simultaneously butthurt over losing IT, who is objectively an even worse defender. Until you can remedy this contradiction outside of IT "making you feel like a little boy again," your arguments are null, meaningless, and pretty clearly rooted in a strong anti-Kyrie bias.
That's not a personal attack at all.
You whined about IT in every single game thread for 2 years. How many times did I call you on it? Never. Why not, tarheels? Because I couldn't care less what you thought of one player -- one of my favorite players to ever wear green, to boot. We still had solid exchanges, and frankly, that was your prerogative. You're blatantly insulting me here. I don't care if nameless, 17 year old boys sling insults at me, but I expected more from you.
Lol Tarheels, buddy, you need to relax with this personal attack stuff. I’m in no way personally attacking you or blatantly insulting you; I’m calling out on your faulty logic, which you have yet to address and are conveniently ignoring. That’s completely different than personally attacking you. I’m not sure why you’re on a sports thread if you both (a) can’t take personal attacks in the first place, and (b) consider someone stating that you’re utilizing faulty logic a personal attack. That is non-sense, snowflake-level stuff, which I know you’re not.
And regarding the IT stuff, yeah, I criticized him a lot, but I also gave him his fair props when he deserved it and actively rooted for him as a Celtic. You’ve went way beyond the types of criticism that I gave IT into the territory of an irrational bias against Kyrie.
EDIT: Hell, you just stated above that you hope IT and Cleveland beat us in the playoffs. As much as I disliked IT’s game, I never once rooted against him as a Celtic. That’s a whole other level of hate.
