Kyrie on flat-earth: "The whole intent behind it wasn’t to bash science and be seen as this insane individual. When I started actually doing research on my own and figuring out that there is no real picture of Earth... the intent was for people to open up and do their own research." https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-celtics/2017/10/31/5-things-we-learned-about-kyrie-irving-from-his-conversation-with-geno-auriemma | ||

The warriors played him like a puppet on multiple occasions and he just got more and more frustrated. I suppose it helped that they played eastern teams who are more isolation heavy. Those kinds of teams are easier for the Cavs to defend since they don't require much in the way of defensive communication. | ||

milwaukee v. charlotte orlando v. memphis are the 2 most intriguing matchups for me. On November 02 2017 01:01 cLutZ wrote: Kyrie may be the best proof yet if the Shan that is college sports. Seriously, how did he get into Duke? How did he pass a single class? one can believe the earth is any shape and do great in any math class. you can do fine in physics. you don't have to believe in the universal theory of gravitation in order to memorize the equation and solve a few word problems. economics? english literature? chemistry? biology? none of these subjects require the belief the earth is an oblate spheroid. | ||

Kyrie: "Why is it that the footprints that they saved - What’s his name? Neil Armstrong? I don’t even know - Why is it that the steps, in terms of the pictures that they say he stepped on, why do they look completely different than the [boots] that are actually in the museum that he walked with?" The "what's his name" made this post for me lol. | ||

i really like how many close games are ending with teams not having time outs. the replay reviews end up creating play stoppages any way. i like the way travelling is being called. All in all the NBA has done a nice job tweaking the rules for the 2017-18 season. | ||

I hope he avoids further injury and reaches his potential. This Sixers team has everything to be special! If they stick together in a couple more years, and Jah gets it together, they are the new East powerhouse | ||

It's like they said for Westbrook, p&r-based drive and kick style is really predictable and ultimately easy to defend for them. They have the length and the defensive IQ to stifle that shit hard. At this point I'm quite convinced that one guy creating for 3-4 others sitting their asses off behind the 3pt line is indeed not really championship material. Especially if GSW is involved. Actually it would probably have been possible with a younger Lebron, but he himself can't carry that much of a load anymore. I still don't understand why they don't let Love create a bit more by himself. | ||

Cleveland's players are not in top notch NBA shape. Frequent training gets harder and harder to do as athletes age. You need to train to get in better shape. Cleveland is the oldest team in the NBA. Look for teams like Indiana to keep the pace high and run Cleveland ragged. There is no chance Cleveland wins the NBA title this year. They're done. | ||
