Kentucky
LSU

They were all probably looking for a bag, prestige and a championship all pre-NIL. Maybe not in the same order.

GO RU

Crazy series lol....I thought the Nuggets were going to pull it off after going down 0-2 then going up 3-2. Timberwolves showed a lot of want to coming back from down 20 in game 7.

Get up, get up
Come on, come on, let's go
There's just a few things
I think that you should know
Those words at best
Were worse than teenage poetry
Fragment ideas and too many pronouns
Stop it, come on
You're not making sense now

....any other Geriatric Millennials just have that play through their head?

Add kyrie from Dallas

 

[Nycrusupporter]

Yeah I know Minnesota has been on the other side of this in the previous round. Winning the first two away games but they then lost their next two home games. Hard to see that happening twice. And Kyrie and Luka are probably too much for them. They were built to stop Jokic not two guards that score at will. Ant man has to get back in the lab and work on his handle, one on one moves and stamina... Kyrie ran him until he was worn down. Hard being a two way player isn't it young man? Lol both games were great...if Boston doesn't mess around will be interesting to see Kyrie against Boston in the championship, they hate him up there and he tends to let that crowd get to him.

Dallas was robbed last night

The turnover in the last minutes caused by a clear hack on the arm by Kyrie was terrible officiating

Cost them the possession and possibly the game

Huge miss by the officials. Clever play by Kyrie though. He’s so f ing good.

Kyrie Irving sat next to my wife and me at the RAC while on Christmas break from Duke. He was friends with a Rutgers backcourt player who hailed from North Carolina. Intelligent, friendly guy.

except the flat earth thing LOL. Brewery in Cleveland even named a beer Flat Earth right after he left the Cavs. He had a great 4th last night besides the 2 FT's

That’s all true, but he may be the most skilled player around 6 feet tall to ever play the game. His handle is absolutely insane, he can get wherever he wants on the court, is a magician the way he scores around the rim against much bigger players, and shoots over 40% from three and over 90% from the line.

He comes back to Roosevelt Middle School in West Orange every year to meet with the basketball team and hang out with them.
Heard nothing but great stories about him off the court.

A family friend who works in the school complained about the entire school getting locked down while he’s there.”
I told her “He’s worth hundreds of millions of dollars!! They should keep you separated from him!”

That play where he lost the handle going up to the hoop and turned it into a volleyball set for an oop spike. My god.

There’s a YouTube video of him playing pickup at Montclair state right early in his career.

agree, really hated he left Cleveland. Hope they win the series, they are the only team that can beat Boston. also, the flat earth thing, idk if that's even how he really feels or if it's a joke. dude is intelligent and I thought it was awesome at the end of game 2 he apologized to his dad for missing the 2 FT"s in the 4th.

I don’t want to make this a vax thread (fully vaxxed, boosted, etc) - but I can understand why a professional athlete might be wary of putting anything into their bodies. Kyrie just marches to his own beat. It’s not like he’s malicious, arrogant or a jerk. And it seems like he’s humble enough to change his thinking or admit he’s wrong when acquiring new knowledge.

Stumbled on this video of highlights from the Olympic team practices in 2012. Crosses up Kobe.

Amazing. And by the way, this is why they don’t press in the NBA . . .

I had ties with some people at St. Pat's right up until they closed. Always heard great things about Irving. I heard that he paid to replace the floor in the old gym after he signed.

Would be an interesting one-on-one game ... Kyrie Irving vs. Calvin Murphy.
