He did show Knight up pretty convincingly, but Knight, as per the usual, had some good looks and evn crossed Kyrie up in return. Unlike Kyrie, though, he didn’t convert even on the easy looks. Hopefully Knight can rebound and get some revenge.

I missed this from a few games ago. Kyrie got dominated by BK and the pistons rolled Cleve. Then, in the post game, kyrie blamed his disinterest for his poor play. And that he “let thing that happened in the game” get to him. He disrespects BK so much that he will give home ZERO credit.

This is real rivalry and disdain.

Heres an article with the quotes.

my goodness folk … Knight and Kyrie been going at each other since HS … it was the best part of the game…too bad for Knight he came out on the tail end of it…

HOWEVER, during the season in HEAD to HEAD Knight has OWNED Kyrie… so yeah…

I can’t say with certainty, but in actual games versus Cleveland I think Brandon has outplayed Kyrie. He really shows up for that competition.

Knight tripped because he couldn’t keep up with Kyrie. The “1 up” contest was a joke, as Knight bricked shot after shot. Irving let everyone know the race between him and Knight isn’t even close.

10 points and 6 assists sounds ok, but we need to remember that Knight’s team scored 163 points last night (or about twice the amount of a typical game). And there was little or no defense being played. So Brandon’s numbers were really more like 5 points and 3 assists. And if you throw in the fact that he shot 29%, it really wasn’t much of a performance. Lack of consistency is still his number one problem. He’ll get you 20 and 10 with 2 turnovers one night and then turn into a non-scoring turnover-machine for the next 3 or 4 games. It’s really tough to build around a guy who is that inconsistent.

Thanks for the reminder of Monroe’s steal last year. That was just too great.

Rubio and Shved were the only two players I enjoyed watching the whole game. I would include Isaiah but he’s a whiney brat so….
