Kyrie said months ago he wasn’t getting the vaccine. The NETS brought him back. He didn’t beg them for road games. Why y’all getting mad at Kyrie for sticking to his guns? Whether you believe he’s right about the vaccine or not, it’s his body and choice. If the Nets would have left him alone, Harden would probably still be on the team. His main thing was the back and forth. If the team would have let Kyrie sit out (like he planned) there would be no complaints.

Stephen A said Kyrie let Kevin Durant go into that game ALONE . Luka has been ALONE this whole season AND he's been beating all these other MVP candidates. It can be argued that this was a fair battle. Yet when the Mavs win, they want to discredit the efforts of the Mavs and blame it on the lack of presence of another player on the opposing team ? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

Why is it that Kyrie Irving's absence is the only and persistent problem according to SAS? True, the odds are better if he's on the court with KD, but let's not forget that the Nets were winning with just KD, no Kyrie, Drummond or Curry and the Nets were losing on the road with just Kyrie and a disinterested Harden. The Nets have arguably gotten better since the trade deadline. At what point are we going to look at the Nets coaching, the squad, the rotations, etc and hold those people accountable. There are teams with 1 superstar and no superstar performing better than the Nets and SAS likes to remind us that KD is the best player on the planet. Let's talk about those deficiencies...but of course, this is not about basketball is it? Otherwise we would be talking about other teams and their players and skills, etc and not just producing headlines for click bait and ratings.

How is it more important to lift the mandate for entertainment and events but not the mandate that would allow unvaxx to get back to work, fix the staff shortages all over the city. Why is that not the priority. This gvmt is all about money, and control. This proves it.
