[BIG LEEMELONE]

I mean the Celtics did get lucky with Kyrie asking to be traded.

Situation that shouldn't exist tho

 

[P C H]

Maybe he just likes wearing jerseys or reppin the city he has a concert at?

Hell, go in the Mitchell & Ness thread where peeps buy jersey from all kinds of teams.

You're probably right, I was just giving him a hard time.

I personally hate how much sports culture cares about bandwagon fans anyway lol it's like people think they're better than someone because they only root for one team or stick with one team or something

this definitely happens to get cheap pops
but to wear a jersey at an actual game, thats where you get the shade.

There is some people that hop on too many teams and disappear when they are bad

No, the Celtics were lucky that the Cavs were dumb enough to trade Kyrie to the second-best team in their own conference. A team they just played in the conference finals. Why not just trade him to the west and not have to worry about him?

Cuz they got back another player that can avg 25+ maybe?

 

[Lizakers]

Melo fell off already?

That was @geno90221

Kyrie is a star...but not enough of one to be weary of trading within the conference in fear of running into him. Especially if Lebron James is on your team.

If he is that guy he'll prove it in April-May.

Where you been?

He's been like this. It's just been hidden because everyone wanted to blame the Knicks instead.

The worst is people who complain about bandwagon fans in their own cities. Like "Yo now that we're winning championships everyone's coming out of the woodwork none of these soccer moms were cheering when we were losing."

Don't you understand the concept of energy and excitement around a sports team run comes from the casual fans? You want the parade to be just you and your super-fan homies?

LOL @ his smile at the end

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Tons of basketball fans somehow are criticizing the decision not to attack here

Kyrie Irving: "Our halftimes, it’s not a whole bunch of hoo-rah this, hoo-rah that. It’s more about what we need to execute best at going forward and just correcting things."

lol

He was smart not to. In that situation you want the WORST case scenario to be OT. You have the ball in a tie game with 10 seconds left.

Had he attacked there, he probably gets fouled by Reddick and then misses at least one of his free throws.

 

[Lizakers]

his mentality is not to score. you would think he would just go at Reddick and get a layup. But I think he wanted to find a teammate and make sure they get the last shot. Just not in his DNA to look for his own offense.

 

[D StaXX]

This is why I had to hop off the train.

I mean Giannis would have scored and maybe a few others but that ain’t Lonzo. Plus they had a time-out . I’m critical of dude but not for the sake of being critical

10 seconds on the clock, pull back and make sure you get the last shot.
dudes are more on him not taking the shot after the fake on that corner 3, but defenders were there. he found the open man and BI made the shot.
he made the right move
reminiscent of the game vs GSW where luke called a TO when randle could have brought it up the floor on a semi fast break

 

[getback]

Dudes wanna trash him for how bad his offense is but then condemn him when he displays discipline in a key moment.

It's a tie game and there's 10 seconds left and it's not exactly a 1000% surefire layup with a defender back and 1 close enough to come contest as well. I could see Lebron James doing the EXACT same thing in that scenario.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Lonzo played a good game more aggressive in the paint and was a nuisance to the sixers point guard.
