Had a feeling today’s interview would be the last straw.

Kyrie continues his streak of missing games each season for various non-basketball reasons. What an ass.

It's amazing what an un-coachable buffoon he's turned out to be.

When he does stuff like this [which is happening with increasing frequency], he's way more trouble than he's worth. Even with the elite talent.

I suspect he’ll never suit up for them again.

Kyrie is a VP for the NBPA.

Crazy.

Time to revoke his post.

If he's not very close to more trouble than he's worth territory, I'm not sure what it will take.

Kinda wonder if we ever see him suit up for another NBA game. Probably overreacting but I wouldn’t be super shocked if it happened.

Thing is... his talent isn't elite these days either.

He’s just so insanely stubborn and incapable of admitting he was wrong.

If he just said, “I shared something that I saw someone else share without seeing the whole Doc - my bad”, this would already be forgotten about.

Thibs is obsessed with playing a rim protecting center (granted, not like it is the worst idea in the world) but it basically makes it impossible for Obi to get more than 15-18 min a game on any kind of a consistent basis unless Randle is hurt.

And the funny thing is: (and I love watching Obi play) It's not like Obi is that good! He should absolutely play more but he's still going to be nothing more than a solid starting player.

Playing starter's minutes the last 10 games last season, Obi averaged 20.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists, shooting 68% on 2s and 45% on almost six 3-point attempts per game.

Would be very intriguing to see Obi become a starter and find out if that's sustainable. Julius appears engaged again -hope his stock goes back up so the Knicks can move him with a reasonable return.

The faster pace offense the Knicks are playing is better with Obi. If they keep losing, then at least I could expect to enjoy more Obi highlights playing starter minutes.

For awhile, the Knicks took it to the Cavs and I was thinking "good thing we didn't give these guys up for Mitchell". Then, same vs the Hawks and Murray. Both times gut-punched.

Only 7 games in, already Knicks-weary and want change.

KD back to the Warriors for Wiggins, Kuminga, and Wiseman.

Pfft bad deal for the Warriors.

No I actually agree. I don’t know who will want to pay him

Apparently this was on Reddit, in regards to the Nets having 6 of the 7 deadly sins covered, lol.

Pride - Kyrie Sloth - Simmons Envy - Durant Lust - Udoka Greed - Tsai Wrath - New York fans

Where are the players on the Kyrie issue? If this was Rockets GM on China the players would be screaming. Kyrie's anti-Semitism and Draymond asssult of a fellow NBAPA member and it's crickets.

There's a lot more tolerance for Anti-semitism than other types of hate.

 

[orangepassion]

It sounds more like an apology from the Nets for having to suspend him. We tried our best not to.

Probably scared of the NBPA

Warriors 3-6 after losing at 1-7 Orlando. Que lastima.

How about some smoke for Amazon and Bezos for streaming that trash too?

See the tweet I posted in #1199.

It actually has all 7 covered.
Gluttony = Fat Brooklyn Harden

Warriors' defense is absolutely terrible.
