As I watch Kyrie Irving, it reminds me a lot of Steph Curry at Davidson. Here's a very talented player that is playing with a group of people that are nowhere near his level and he looks bored. He throws passes that they can't catch and plays the game at a mental level that they can't reach. When you see him play with other talented people, you see just how good he is.

Agree. Part of the reasson I thought Clevland would be very good. I think Irving is a super star, and I thought Waiters, Bennett, Bynum and Thompson could all be very good/star players. Plus solid guys like Verajo and Jack.

I don't think much of his team. Don't think much of Waiters and Thompson is not good. Bennett appeared as a project. My hope was that Bynum could give them something and in the East, it wouldn't take much. What I'm seeing though, is why guys like James and Bryant and Jordan are superstars while Irving is just super talented. Superstars don't get bored. They don't take nights off. No matter how bad their teams are, they are bringing it every night.

He will always excel in games where defense isnt required.

Lebrons 61 looking much better right now. As the Bobcats are beating the Pacers by 18.

Marcus Thornton alert
15 at halftime yet still has a +/- of -1 in 12 minutes despite his team leading by 10. Not sure what any of this means except I'm sure Joey will be showing up soon to taunt me.

How about Melo? Playing well again. Do you think he stays in NY? As a Knicks fan, do you want him to stay?
Golden St putting a beat down on the Celtics. Big game James having another good night.

I'd love to see him stay but realistically they arent going to be very good next year unless some stunning development occurs which is unlikely. The fear that I have if he stays is that they go out and overpay a bunch of 2nd and 3rd tier guys to contend in the East and then mortgage the future again by trading Hardaway or more draft picks in some pathetic attempt to jump Indiana or Miami because Dolan orders them to.

So essentially as a Knicks fan you almost have to hope they get worse so that Dolan and his minions cant possibly have some on the fly pseudo-contender plan that involves trading for some corpse like Steve Nash. Pretty pathetic really.

The guy didn't suddenly forget how to score Chuck. People acted as if there's no precedent for struggling players in crappy situations reviving their careers with a fresh start on a better team. Like I said right after the trade, we gave up two rusty anchors for a 26YO proven scorer to come off the bench. The opposite of a lateral move.

Hey I didnt come on here and say anything after he lit the Bulls up for 3 the other day! You are correct in that he has provided scoring and the other two corpses they traded away couldnt even do that but I find it so interesting that he can provide almost no impact on a game except for points.

In 115 minutes played in NJ he has 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 0 blocks, 6 TO's and 2 fouls. His per 36 min averages are bizarre. He doesn't even commit turnovers or foul anyone.

I'm not saying that you are wrong because he has provided scoring and you live in Jersey City now and people from there usually carry Uzi's but just pointing out how unusual it is for a player to become so absolutely one dimensional.
