Isaiah getting clobbered on talk shows

[rollie mass]

It was said he is playing like on ice ,falling all over the place.Can't play defense and thinks he is a superstar.And its all of them.Wright,Skip Bayless,Shannon ,Broussard.
The situation is toxic.
They are siding with Love and his 2nd best player and want Crowder benched.
They feel the Cavs better with Calderone and are really beating the drums for the Hill trade and his pairing with isaiah.
I'm going to watch that Spurs game.
There were claims of Boston fans spoiling Isaiah and a great coach and teammates covering up for him and this being a contract year and pressing for max.
Lebron is not having fun the team has a self centered flu.
And there was Kyrie easing a 4 game loss with his comments about youth and needing adversity to grow and mentoring Rozier from sideline like a coach

I was just watching the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmAY5JIUUqs

Shannon was the same guy, just last week, going off on Pierce and essentially saying IT was a better and more relate-able Celtic..lol. But yeah, they are being BRUTAL with him this week. IT posted one of his installments to his series, on Twitter, and he ended up deleting it because the comments were out of this world..smh.

All those guys you named;  Wright, Sharpe, Bayless, etc....  are in the job of issuing hot takes.  Take all of that stuff with a heavy grain of salt.

Better yet, don't watch any of those "Embrace Debate" morning shows.  They're garbage.

they are in that business, but they just as easily could have gone the other way and it still would have been a hot take.

Yep. The entire basis of their shows is blowing stuff out of proportion.

IT is playing poorly, but Cleveland’s issues extend well beyond him.

Yes and no

1st line of D is the pg

Ever since he has returned, their points against has increased

[sed522002]

The only thing they said that I think makes sense is about his overnight super stardom and how that might not be who he is.

 He went from essentially being the sixth man to a beloved, idolized superstar in Boston.

That's going to be very hard to replicate on another team (especially playing like the way he's playing right now). The fans here loved him and he hasn't built that love with the Cavs fans yet.

The last sentence is correct.

The issue is that Kyrie is leading the best team in the East, while IT has been relatively inconsequential through 46 games.

Shannon Sharpe is a four letter word, but I think he's right: IT is not a superstar on CLE. He has a lot to prove that he's the same player that he was last year in BOS.

They’re 4-11 in their last 15 games. IT has played in 8 of them, going 3-5. They’re 1-6 in that time period without him.

As I said, Cleveland’s issues go well beyond IT.

IT4 is a 6th man unless he can surround himself again on a team with 4 capable versatile defenders

Lets say Cavs had AB or even a healthy Beverly

I think they would be performing better

FA isn't going to go as IT wants it to go.

1) The NBA is stacked with PGs.
2) Teams need to be able to defend the guard position. IT doesn't help.
3) IT has hit his prime. There's a chance his performance only gets worse.
4) Teams are able to see how he handles adversity. I wouldn't say that he has passed with flying colors.

I know it is tough, but IT should have gratitude for being in the top 1% in the US as a short man who was selected with the last pick in the NBA draft. I don't think the chip on his shoulder will help his future happiness.

It's almost like dealing with a breakup with a smoking hot chick (haha like I would know about that). While you constantly think of what was and what could have been, it's prob best to move forward and think about how best to find happiness with someone else. Easier said than done.

No my point was, that if all of them were leaning to that side of the argument, then they probably all actually believe it.  Generally on shows like that, they like to have opposing view points because it makes the debate aspect of the show better.  The fact that they were all in agreement, means they all actually agree since either position was a hot take.

I wonder if IT is going to get the exact kind of contract he got from the Suns a few years ago. In today's salary structure, it would be roughly 11 million a year for 4 years.
