Expecting a guy who is entering his prime to not get better is naive. Why does it all have to be brad stevens

Curry was never this dominant. Became this dominant once he entered his prime and got Steve Kerr

Sure dont waste time since its not convenient for you to talk about Kyrie actually getting better. Giving all the credit to brad is dumb as shit just bc midget had his career year coincidently with Stevens

it was hardly a coincident that isaiah had a career year last year. you need to give brad's system some credit here. Jordan Crawford won Player of the Week under Brad. Rozier looked to be a really competent starter in the games Kyrie was out this month. If Smart could shoot the ball, he'd be a starter across the league solely based on his play in Boston. Isaiah averaged 29ppg last season on a 54.6 eFG%.
 
Kyrie's definitely gotten better as a defender and thru playing ball movement under Stevens. Nobody aside for BNC (because he's just a troll) is saying its 100% work of Stevens and 0% Kyrie. Kyrie was a baller in Cleveland, and he's become a good leader for the Celtics this season. But you gotta give Brad credit. He knows how to get the most out of his ball handlers

Not saying Brad doesnt deserve the credit but acting like Kyrie didnt get better himself too is just straight hating

So once hes entering his real prime and peak years and gets even better we’re gonna keep continuing to give Brad credit?

The difference between IT and Kyrie is the age. We knew what IT was when coming to Boston and him playing the way he did was obviously a lot to do with Stevens

Kyrie is still only 25, we dont know how good he will become just yet, thats why a lot of credit should also go to him because hes simply getting better year after year. Barely entered his prime yet

Thats the difference

People forgetting that Kyrie is 25 is getting ridiculous

Like a 25 year old cant get better when hes barely entering his prime

This isnt a finish product of Kyrie. He will keep getting better

Thats my whole point. We havent even seen the best version of Kyrie in his real prime and peak years. Cant give brad credit for that too. Dude is just getting better. If he was 29 or 30 i wouldnt be having this convo.

He's got some all time in-game dunks. The reverse windmill from the baseline against Miami or the one on Gary Neal

Maybe you should wait until he gets there instead of projecting improvement
