Yes, I know - some of Kyrie Irving's sermons are filled with obscenities, a very un-God-like display, but the eruptions are often necessary. When the preaching is followed by spectacular play on the court, his position as team leader should be unquestioned. Boston's 112-103 win over the Grizzlies last night strengthens the argument.
Opposing teams have the message now - the prime defensive goal is to take away Kyrie's game as much as possible. But his game is now complete, maybe for the first time in his career.
