2689273, Deadspin listed some wild-ass numbers regarding Kyrie (link & swipe) Posted by Marbles, Thu Feb-28-19 01:37 PM
The article is real Deadspinish but these numbers are absolutely mind blowing.
I don't hate Kyrie. I think he's weird as hell. I do hate the Celtics but I try to give credit where it's due. His game is top-notch, so these numbers probably speak more to a lack of chemistry or cohesion than to the fact that Kyrie sucks.
I swiped the main stats that shocked me but here's a link to the full article.
