It’s Kyrie Irving season. His time to shine, as the Nets embark on their road trip and without Kevin Durant in the lineup; Brooklyn is in need of the kind of spark that Kyrie can provide - the kind of performance where he takes over a game and leads the team to a win. That’s what the Nets are hoping to get when they lace up against the Spurs in San Antonio on Friday night.
The Spurs aren’t very good, having lost 7 of their last 10, but they do have good players. Namely, Dejounte Murray. He’s a star on the rise.
