"Kyrie." Wed May-08-19 12:34 PM by auragin_boi
Has to be top 5 polarizing figures on OKS basketball convos.
So what happens if the C's lose tonight?
Kendrick Perkins went in:
Listen if y'all think that me and my boy @paulpierce34 was going to go against the grain in this series y'all crazy! Win, lose or draw I was riding with the Bean! Just realized that Kyrie not a Batman! Hell @isaiahthomas took the Cs to the ECF! Hell they got there last year! 🤷🏾‍♂️

Yeah, Kyrie got a ring and was instrumental in it but is he a true alpha? Or is he a fake franchise player? Is it that he's just not happy in Boston or is it that he just doesn't have the mental fortitude to lead a team?
When the trade went down, me and Basa chopped it up in the post:
So what is it now? Bad chemistry? Overrating of Stevens? Too many egos? Injuries? Bad management (maybe Ainge should have moved a few pieces to make things fit better)?
Or does this all circle back to Kyrie? He's 27, right in the middle of his prime, perennial allstar, hit movie under his belt, amazing skillset, ring. Shouldn't he be able to lead THIS cast to the finals at minimum?
Or are we greasing the frying pan?
And what happens if they lose 4-1 to the Bucks, who's only improvements last offseason was hiring Coach Bud and moving into a new arena (all things that no one thought would make them better than the Celtics this year). Adding Hill and Niko mid season shouldn't have done it either.
