The Nets Are A Top 5 Team Without Kyrie

[LAmbruh]

We were bottom of the league in assists and passes per game with Kyrie are ball movement and teamwork was awful

Ever since he went down we jumped from 25th to 3rd in the NBA in assists per game and are ball movement is like the 2014 Spurs and are defense has improved drastically as well

Same thing with the Celtics why they flourish without him Kyrie Irving is a ball stopping cancer

In a 6 game stretch during that run they played Chicago, Indiana, Charlotte, New York, Sacramento, Cleveland...won every game except the Indiana game.

Point? They've played mostly really, really bad teams since Kyrie's been injured.

They played Boston in a back-to-back. Won one of those. Lost to Miami, played and beat the Hawks, and Charlotte again.R= Recently beat the Nuggets. Then they play Charlotte again Wednesday.

They have no control who they can play, but a big part of it is opponent nonetheless.

They lost to the goddamn Grizzlies and the Pistons without Blake or Rose with Kyrie, as well as the mediocre Suns and Timberwolves.

I agree. Kyrie does make the "team" aspect of basketball worse. It'll be interesting to see what happens when Durant and him are together.
