Best thing about this KD situation is it proves that all the hate he gets for jumping ship really bothers him.

After they won the championship he looked like he knew there was an asterisk next to his accomplishment. I'm glad he feels that way.

Hey KD,

How does that ASTERISK taste?

An NBA player, **** that - any professional athlete, couldn't be more bitchmade than he is right now.

So the absolute pathetic disgrace of a human being you endorse got completely sonned in the 4th quarter on the biggest stage, by someone who couldn't "be more bitchmade"?

Just making sure I understand.

Smart move, part of creating a WINNING culture is having a token scumbag big. Can't think of anyone I'd rather have to mentor Zubac than Dirty Bogues. Maybe Osis in his prime. Maybe.

Irving had 5.2 3PA per 36 minutes in Cleveland.

Some of IT's increase just comes from taking more shots, but the percentage of his shots that were from behind the arc went from 36.2% to 39.8%. Irving has taken 28.6% of his shots from three-point range for his career. That number has been increasing, so he was at 31.1% last season.

One interesting thing about Irving is how his eFG cratered in the 4th quarter last season. Here is how it was split last season by quarter: .548/.551/.547/.468. How much of that was caused by being next to Lebron or by bad coaching and how much was caused by Kyrie's flaws as a player? How much was due to randomness?

it seems reasonable to assign some blame to kyrie's flaws as a player imo. he was probably feeling himself as a shotmaker after he basically won the title for the cavs with a really hard step back 3, i could see lack of fitness being a factor as well

only guesses tho, randomness often the most relevant factor with stats like that

Being good and being a ***** are not mutually exclusive.

It couldn't be more obvious now that KD is both.

He didn't handle it well obviously, but pretty much everything he said was true imo. They had it set up to be contenders for the next decade and pissed it all away. Going to an org that's run very well and has deep pockets was the right thing to do.

Setting up a fake account to defend it, however, was pretty dumb.

They were up 3-1 on Golden State before Katie shat himself in G6 of the WCF. Keep blaming ownership and management. You're in good company.

Even with the indefensible Harden trade, they were still set up to be contenders for the bulk of RUSS and Katie's primes.
