Consecutive possessions Kyrie was laughing so hard, like, "you got who on me?"

Barrett got his first look at Kyrie. Will he improve?

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s an overnight cure for dumb play.

True. Nor is there a quick cure for dumb coaching.

But here's a start. At the end of close games, get the ball in the hands of someone who can dribble, pass and direct the action. Build some fucking trust with whatever point guard you fancy. Let them lead.

Pidto and Scerbiak on pregame praising Barrett at point guard

Have they no analytic skill?

D Smith getting a stint in the second half makes me feel this is absolutely true.

Absolutely. Looks like he might end up a decent situational defender, continues to impress. Knox, who was on Kyrie the play before, not so much.

FizWhiz is really something. Kemba enjoyed the heck out of him tonight.

Well if we do, better get something for him, lol. Mavs trade is already starting to look like one of those NBA legends in the making.

* I firmly remain Carlos'# + 1, whatever his # is.

* I firmly remain Carlos'# + 11, whatever his # is, if Fiz gets sent back to the used-car lot.

Did the NYPD issue with KP get resolved? Also getting out from under Lee and Hardaway was priceless.

Smith could use a rehab stint in Westchester.

I’m encouraged by the return of Dot.

Taj will be fine, especially if we get the guards figured out in the second unit. There are reasons to feel less than sanguine that that will happen.

At least there is a day to regroup before Chicago.

25 Turns; 15 Assists

Trier and Barrett ain't PG's.

Give Smith a week off and time to get right and his rhythm back.
Play Frank as backup PG.

Portis and Jr. Smith have been bad.

Has Barrett been our best most consistent player so far?

Probably yeah for Barrett.

Portis plays some horrible off ball D. That seems clear already.
