I can't believe I disliked dude at one point.

I let LeBron turning him into basically an offensive specialist blind me to how great he is.
Nah, Bron showed him how to win and play meaningful basketball. Kyrie was just a highlight reel on a perennially awful team before Bron came back. The perception of him as a player would be completely different if Bron never came back and won that ring with him.

JV's leash is very tight nowadays

Hes making too many bad defensive mistakes...hes out of position,hes not guarding the ball,hes rolling when he shouldnt be...

Hes only on the team cuz they find a suitor for him in a trade...They cant start Poeltl over him because they dont want to kill his confidence because i dont think they can move him right now...

I'm not saying the Wolves lost or anything but the Bulls are clearly in a much better spot post Jimmy trade
How is my guy Nwaba playing? His numbers look solid. I'm still disappointed LA let him go. He's a quality backup guard in this league and can defend like a demon.

When your 2nd best player is Tristan Thompson, the guy they pick in the lottery as the number 1 pick is Anthony Bennett (who's out of the league), your running mate is Dion Waiters & you're coached by both Byron Scott and Mr. Potato Head.........you probably aren't playing meaningful basketball, regardless of how good you are. When you consider the factors you really gotta GTFOH with the narrative that LeBron showed him how to play meaningful basketball. I was once misguided and thought that same goofy shyt as well but it's just false.

I remember actually arguing down @Gil Scott-Heroin & @Malta on here that Kyle Lowry was a better player than him. Although I fukks with Kyle, it's just not true.

Look 20 or so posts up at my last post

Dude makes winning plays, and that's beyond just his defense. His rebounding, off ball cuts, loose balls, can attack rim. He's a keeper no doubt. He and Denzel should be good long term rotational guys for us. Both do different things
