Huh? Duncan never seriously considered leaving and he also never tried to hold the Spurs hostage. He also didn't get consistently outplayed by guys that play his position during Finals series. LeBron is a winner though his record during NBA finals series is that of a loser. Ok I get it.

Irving was 19 years old when he became a member of that team and his last Cleveland team had 12 guys that no longer play in the NBA on it. That isn't really a black mark for those in the know.

Look at this horseshit of a post. They're fucking world champs because of LBJ but dude wants to complain about them being on their way to a being a good team but "probably not champions" until LBJ came in and civilized things. Sad day when FF and RPB want to align themselves with drunk posts like this.

Kyrie was a loser that was in awe of playing the Bulls on national television. Now he's gone to 3 straight Finals because of LeBron. He's such a replaceable player that Dellavedova was able to flawlessly slide into his role during the first Finals run. He should be on his knees blessing LeBron daily instead of acting like a spoiled brat.

ok hopefully this meets your lofty yet very inconsistent and increasingly idiotic basketball standards. Kyrie Irving is tired of being Lebron's James caddy and his bitch. He is tired of know nothing basketball types like you telling him that he isn't shit but a loser and shitty ass player despite being on 4 really 5 all star teams during his first 6 years in the league. He is tired of hearing how his teams weren't shit before LeBron decided to bestow them with his greatness yet again.

If Cleveland owes winning to LeBron James and nothing else then what is everyone (including LeBron by the way) up in arms about? If Cleveland's front office truly believed what you and other LeBron worshippers believed then this kid would already have been traded. Again it doesn't matter who you pair LeBron with. Just wind his ass up and pair him with a collection of bums and watch him go. Isn't that the thinking and the increasingly stupid narrative? Meanwhile the facts show that the last time he played with a collection of bums his immortalized ass got bounced by Boston in the 2nd round. Each year since he has played with teams that were top 3 talent wise in the league at worst.

If Cleveland doesn't get fair value for this kid the truth is that they don't get out of the East. They believe that and that is why he hasn't been moved yet. Let's see if they move him simply to appease LeBron James.

I feel bad for Hayward but can't deny how sweet it is for this little bitch Irving to be denied any chance at postseason success. He's plenty used to it though before LBJ gave him a taste of what it feels like to be a winner. Enjoy your meaningless stats this year, bitch. I'm sure your "legacy" will still be just fine, to the extent that guys who can't even make 2nd team All NBA have any legacy.

Something tells me if he reaches the Eastern Conf. Finals you'll still be bashing in Bernsteinesque (only championships matter) fashion about why he didn't make the finals. They will still make it to at least the 2nd round of the playoffs. Irving doesn't owe his career to Lebron James contrary to what you may think. No. 1 overall pick and 2 time all star before he ever teamed with him.

If he makes the second round I'll give him props. He'll still be watching LBJ from a couch though come June. Maybe he just doesn't have the drive to win.

He's not as good as he thinks he is. Never will be a winner as the alpha.

And you base that assessment on what evidence?

so...you're mad at him for thinking he's better than he is. What do you care if he goes and loses to LeBron instead of playing with him?

Just disappointed and shocked at his arrogance. Who leaves a team that's been to three straight finals and is a lock to get there once again? It's very clear to everyone except this little bitch of a PG who hasn't even cracked 2nd team All NBA that to get to the promised land you ride with LBJ. You don't ride with Kyrie Irving. Who is Irving anyway? He's just another scoring PG in a long line of scoring PGs who've got stats but no ring. Big deal. He's got a ring but we all know why and how. Except Irving.

would you be mad at Kevin Durant for joining the Bulls because he felt overshadowed by his teammates on the Warriors?

It'd be a strange move.

He got a ring by making the biggest shot in franchise history.

The ride LeBron wave was made a lot simpler by Hayward going down. This year's Cleveland team doesn't look all that special either. Aging LeBron James surrounded by a bunch of role players. They are very beatable.

Simple. They replaced Alonzo Gee with LeBron James and Tyler Zeller with Kevin Love. That was just for starters.

Yeah I think Stevens is too good a coach for the Celtics to miss the ECF.

Boston currently has the most losses in the league. Kyrie puttin' the team on his back!

I think the Hayward injury has messed with them a little bit mentally. Chemistry has to be built with the new lineup.
