I liked the culture they had last year. It looked like a fun young team dancing and shyt. Now they seem off

true...expectations were low and the continued emergence of dlo was a bright spot...but w/ kyrie and KD joining the team next season (possssibly maybe even later this season) expectations are higher and the fun/young dancing shyt has to go out the window til we start playing like we supposed to...the more I think on it tho the more I feel it was a bit too early for kyrie to be this openly critical...the team will obviously look different w/ durant back...and kyrie has only been back a handful of games...not to mention the nets were actually one game better last year after 40 games...of course taking into consideration kyrie was out for a stretch...too early tho for him to be criticizing this squad publicly

That’s still there. You have guys putting each other in sleeper holds, DeAndre being his goofy self etc. The only difference is the microscope and perception from the outside. At least before Kyrie made that silly statement yesterday

This team don’t look anything like it did last year. You know the young guys are walking on egg shells around kd and kyrie knowing they are mental midgets

When KD comes back, this team will be on a role. KD >>> Kyrie

You can easily replace Kyrie with Dimwiddie and the rest of the roster can play around KD. No offense.

No you cant. This “easily” thing when Dinwiddie has dumb out spells.

How many posts do you have in here?

Na.

Dinwidde playing that high a level is not sustainable for a full season.
Yea you're right. He's flakey but he'll contribute enough to help KD out though. Kyrie has some games where he's cold so a lot of guys need to step up. KD is a consistent threat and he's not gonna call guys out on camera either. He's an overall better leader.

This Kyrie shyt is getting so overblown

Of course it is, but at the end of the day he did it to himself. Just about everyone agrees with the point he made, but you don't do it after a loss and clearly single out current teammates as not part of the "core"

Even if Harris, Allen, Prince are gone this summer, why throw them under a bus for no reason with half the season left? Just stress that the team isn't complete without KD, and until then none of this matters. Don't give the media/fans any ammunition like he did last night

I took it as him just rattling off names not tryna send a message. Just my take.
