You'd be worried that Kyrie is an older/more mature player and left a championship level team in Boston to play with one of his best friends?

I don't think KD will need to keep Kyrie in line, they're clearly 1a/1b and wanted to play together. I think the rift between LeBron and Kyrie started because Kyrie didn't want to be viewed as strictly a #2 guy and he didn't choose to be drafted by Cleveland or go out of his way to play with LeBron. He left Cleveland because he wanted to prove he could be the guy, it didn't work out for him and he realized he needed to play with another superstar talent if he wanted a chance to win another title, which is why he recruited him to come with him to Brooklyn.

So basically, you just think Kyrie didn't like Lebron but he likes KD enough for his crazy to not have an effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More or less. I also think that Kyrie was at a point in his career where he felt he needed to show he could be the guy on a championship team instead of just LeBron's sidekick. Now he's a few years older and went out of his way to recruit KD to come play with him in Brooklyn, there's clearly a ton of respect between the two of them. And if the first two games were any indication they truly will be a 1a/1b duo, while Kyrie was clearly #2 in Cleveland behind LeBron.

Not concerned. We have better answers for their stars than they have for ours. Maybe if we had the same team as last year I'd be a little more concerned, cause I don't know if we would've had enough offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think good chance the Clippers if they don't choke could beat the Nets too. Really like what I've seen out of them, especially offensively.

TheRealMcCoy Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Nets gonna put KD on Bron or AD? Whoever they don't put him on is gonna have a huge advantage. I trust Schroder's defense on Irving more than the other way around. Clippers have 2 great wings we have to worry about. Nets only have 1. We'll see I guess. I'm not putting too much stock into a couple games when the Nets haven't proven anything in the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
