I'm not upset that Kyrie could be shutdown.
I am also ok with mostly whatever happens in this playoff run. Yes, they are the #2 seed, but they will not be favored against CLE and are vulnerable to lose to any team in the East. They have had bad luck with injuries this year. We wanted to see what Kyrie can do, and he's going to be even better next year with Hayward. The future is bright, and this year's run has been impressive. They are Hayward and one more player away from being a championship contender.
I hope Kyrie gets the knee right this time, and I'm ok if he doesn't play in this year's playoffs. I didn't want to see them rush Hayward or even Jaylen Brown. I am psyched that they got Brown and Tatum minutes this year.
I've seen what I wanted to see this year, in terms of progression. I'm ecstatic that Kyrie is as good as billed. We should be concerned about his recovery vs. winning playoff games this year.
