      @C C, I didn't have too much time to go way back in order for you to understand, because you sound "new" to this... You're evaluating Kyrie based on this one series; I'm evaluating him every since he been in the league AND how he severed ties with both LeBron and with Boston. To me, even though Kyrie can score & sauce-em-up with the very best of them (EVERY SINCE HE BEEN IN THE LEAGUE), you're fooling yourself (and other people are fooling themselves) if you believe that Kyrie is a guy who can LEAD A TEAM TO GREAT PLAYOFF SUCCESS. I mean Johnson97 is correct in his assertion on this thread, and all true basketball fans that paid attention KNOW that Kyrie isn't really that serious about winning championships, especially once he broke away from LeBron. You don't do that after winning with one of the greatest players in history... If anything, for his NBA wins success, he left Cleveland too soon. He needed to grow up a bit more (but what u gonna tell a man who any team will give guaranteed money to?)
      NOW he wants to talk about how his situation might have been a distraction, blah blah blah... Get out of here!
      And all that MISMANAGEMENT that happened this year, the Nets gave him "full-command" over his situation to come & go as he please.... and look at the results??? He mismanaged, the Nets mismanaged, KD don't want to lose a basketball friend, so he won't challenge Kyrie publicly, and Steve Nash himself is gonna have to come off the bench to play PG next year in order to give this emotionally-unstable team a chance!
