I don’t care about Irving’s rebounding but I have to agree with Moranis that he’s not good in any areas other than scoring and ballhandling. His defense is bad and his passing is very dissapointing, not only because he’s primarily a scorer, but because he doesn’t see open guys or guys who are about to become open.
Yes he's a score first and second PG. Why ultimately he's pretty replaceable by Rosier or anyone that can score honestly..
I thought the playoffs pretty much proved that Irving is not easily replaceable and certainly not by Rozier. If this team was missing anything last year it was Kyrie's ability to find and create an open shot and hit it during the toughest of times and biggest of games.
Yeah, not sure how the takeaway can be that Kyrie is replaceable. We currently have nobody who is really that close in terms of their ability to score whenever they want. Whenever a set of ours broke down, our whole offence started to malfunction - whereas if we had Kyrie, we could just give it to him and let him go to work. That was his most valuable asset in Cleveland too, where he proved to not be easily replaced at all
Our offense was mediocre last year even with Kyrie. He's good but not that good lol
Almost as if we were missing our second best offensive player, and arguably our best player overall
And yet our offense improved in the playoffs. Lots of tough decisions coming for Danny..
It did, but when you get completely unexpected scoring from a rookie and a back-up PG, that happens.
I don't think there are any tough decisions to come, except about who to take with our lotto pick/s next year
Rosier had more WS/48 than any PG not named Curry or Paul in last year's playoffs. Kyrie better get ready to prove he's legit this year..
What do you mean prove he's legit? Are you saying he hasn't?
lol
5 time all star, an all star game MVP, hit the biggest shot for his championship team in the finals but he still might not be legit?
Ancient history man. That was more than two years ago. I meant is he a legit star for us or all hype..
So because it happened 2 years ago he's not the same player? That he started the all star game and led the Celtics in scoring this past season doesn't mean anything? I don't see why you're questioning his legitimacy as a star.
