this is NBA's version of MLB unwritten rules thing.

Still not worried about Celtics but will say Tatum is incorporating way toooo much of Kobe in his game this year.

also Rozier has been god awful this year.

..... Yeah I would have too.... Murray has a history of losing sight of the big picture in my opinion.

Meh, no one is gonna feel sorry for Kyrie. You wanna talk about losing sight? He's the same dude that stopped his own teammate from getting the record for points in a quarter.

Plus if you watch the clip, Tatum was picking him up and playing D before letting him go. So it's all good for Tatum to play D but when Tatum decides to let him go, then all of a sudden Murray is a bad sport for shooting it? If the possession didn't matter, why play D?

You’re too infatuated with the D, man.

Someone is still mad Kyrie no longer wanted to play with LBJ.

Bum *** Celtics better wake up soon before I start talking crazy, like demanding them leave Hayward's hobbled *** in Utah on Friday night if he continues to be a liability.

Nah, Kyrie himself is bothersome just because of his personality and his views on life.

But his fans do overrate him and that gets annoying sometimes.

Love watching his offensive game though, I think it's arguably the smoothest and most enjoyable to watch in the entire league.

So you don’t like him because of non-Basketball reasons then?

Not sure if it's "dislike" but more indifferent because his beautiful basketball outweighs when he opens his mouth for the most part. But then stuff like last night it's like come on bruh.

And I know I'm the only one on OS that feels this way but I still think he was weak for missing Game 7 last year in the ECF. Lost some respect for him cause of that but we know we know that's just me.

Because they play 4 on 5 all the time.

I tried to tell you guys this offseason. LeBron is an AWFUL defender now. He drifts and usually let's his man do whatever he wants. He has no interest in rotating or defending in general.

As for his legs....I mean, dude is almost 34. He hasn't exactly been a spring chicken last year. His teams usually are dead last in the NBA in pace so him trying this uptempo style wasnt going to work. I almost feel like he can coast into the playoffs again and he doesnt have that with this team.

Regular season LeBron the past 2 years has been a nightmare. The Cavs had enough to cover it up and cruise to the playoffs. The Lakers dont have that luxury. I'll be curious to see if he does turn it on during this season or if he is going to continue this nonsense.

Cosign 100%

For one of the most egregious examples, the next Laker game you guys watch, I want you all to look out for how many times you catch the camera pan to the other team going back down on offense, and how many times you see 4 Lakers back.

Hell, just make a game of it. Everytime you see 4 Lakers back, LeBron being the sole player in the backcourt, COMPLETELY off screen, you take a drink.

Guarantee you are feeling GREAT by the end of the game.

Na na that's going to LeVert don't even try it. We need something down here lol

You think LeVerts numbers are sustainable?

Either way, what a weird story this 2016 draft class has been. If people redid the draft, who goes 4-5?

Of all guys who've played more than half a season, Poeltl(9) has highest WS/48,Simmons(1),Diallo(33), Davis(31) and Siakam(27) are next.

Simmons, Poeltl, Siakam, D.Murray(29) are the only guys with a positive BPM.

Kyrie stands by throwing the ball into the stands. The best part is the irony in his words. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/2...ng-ball-stands

...you've had a great game, game of your life, and you do something like that, it's just ... it's petty. It's immature.

Says the guy who threw the ball into the stands because he was salty...
