Boston Celtics fall to Orlando Magic 93-90: Kyrie Irving's re-emergence, cold shooting plus 10 things we learned

My 2 cents: Baynes is missed and he's much better than I thought when he was acquired. While he's out, I hope we see Williams often because he'll benefit as Tatum did, also because this team needs a center on the floor. Horford is a 4, cedes too much to a good big man. Kyrie is a great shooting guard who's off to a slow start. He's a good passer with room to improve as a distributor. When he takes the next step, shooters around him will be more accurate and deadly. Brown is under pressure with Tatum making a quantum leap. Yes, focus on defense, also going to the hoop. I'd like see more Semi - so good against Giannis in the playoffs. His shot won't drop, but pt might cure that. Glad to see Hayward getting better. Love this team! hawk

Kyrie definitely doesn’t have his full arsenal back, and it’s not his shooting. I’m not seeing the unbelievable slight of hand dribbling that he uses to juke guys and get in favorable positions. That one amazing skill separates him from all the other scoring points, hopefully it’s coming.

Totally agree.

#3 -Kyrie still looks like his knee is in recovery mode.  He played better last night, but still more runners and flip shots than breaking people down off the dribble.  He will get there.
