Love what Kyrie is doing. Shutting people up He’s been called out for his BS outside the game and that he’s a “second” star and crumbles if he needs ti be the leader. This year he behaved and was the “second” star. Probably contract negotiations were sobering him up. Mans played an amazing series upsetting a team a lot of people held as title favorites (i didnt), and you talk about sobering up. The media is powerful, people are miserable and blinded by pride. He deserve his flowers.

Ok, since you always do these argument switches not addressing what is being said but what you prefer to read out, lets take a stap back: What do you think that he shut up (in terms of statements) by playing at allstar level next to Doncic?

Kyrie is a fantastic #2 option, no doubt about it. Him and Luka get a walk to the WCF now while the Wolves/Nuggets are going to kill each other. Seeding matters.
Also, I think the hate on PG13 is a little strong. He's stuck in a terrible spot where he has to attempt to carry a team with a max contract slot on the bench every single playoff series. We saw what happened when Jokic didn't have Murray.

Could be that the Thunder are so talented, young, and precocious that they don’t feel the fear of the moment and move on to WCF. Thunder are certainly the more well-rested team at the moment. OKC is -115 and Dallas is -105 to win series.

Why any basketball fan or expert would call out Kyrie for his opinions (he’s never hurt anyone that i know of) off the court is beyond me. What? You think antisemitic propaganda is harmless? You're trying to pass off The Protocols of the Elders of Zion as some benign difference of opinion? You basically just said, "I'm not sure why anyone would call him out for being a god damn Nazi."

I used to love those Knicks pacers playoff battles in the 90s. Hope this series is more of the same

Maxi Kleber likely out for the entire postseason with an AC joint dislocation. Sucks to hear, that was a bad fall he took.

I though Dallas was far behind us, didn't have a HCA in a single series and they'll just walk to the conference finals whereas us, who gave everything for seeding, now having the most difficult path to the conference finals lol

OKC is -115 and Dallas is -105 to win series. I didn't know about the Kleber injury tbf but I think I'll still take the Mavs. I don't trust OKC because of their youth. Beating Kyrie/Luka would be very impressive to me. I think Denver beats both which is why I want this Wolves series win so bad.

I mean it could work out for the Nuggets though. We'll see. IMO Minnesota is better than both Dallas and OKC. Would you rather play them in Round 2 or in the WCF? I think an argument could definitely be made for Round 2 since it'll be the most physical series before the finals (if you get there) and you should be freshest earliest into the round.

I don't care when we play either team. We should have rested our team the last 2 weeks of the RS same as last year. 3-4 days wasn't enough for Jokic to recover and now we're going to watch him shoot 45-50% fg and that won't do it unless Jamal is going nuclear. Seeding doesn't matter if you are a better team. The rest does for our non athletic players
