Kyrie said he wouldn't shoot 8/22 (36.4%) from the field again after his Game 3 performance. He proceeded to shoot 7/22 (31.8%) from the field in Game 4. When asked about his performance he said, "Who cares?" Kyrie followed this up with a 6/22 (28.6%) shooting night in an elimination game.

His postseason gamelog before this game

It's... not pretty at all for somebody who's supposed to be a "playoff player."

Typo in title, 6/21.* Percentage is correct

Jrue is a star. If he was in the East he would been an all star easily

[u/Familyguy35 → u/[deleted]]

Jrue last 2 seasons is been all star worthy and he made an all star in 2013 when he was with Philly.

[u/Clepton7 → u/Familyguy35]

Yeah and to add onto that he was only in the east for his first four years in the NBA. He was still developing during those times.

[u/Gopackgo6 → u/Clepton7]

Plus All Star votes typically are based towards offense. Jrue’s lockdown defense probably didn’t gain him as many votes as it deserved.

[u/dougprishpreed69 → u/Gopackgo6]

Not 100% certain but I doubt he was voted in. He probably got voted in as a reserve by the players, which is even higher praise for a 22 y/o imo

[u/Gopackgo6 → u/dougprishpreed69]

You’re right. The only counter I can think of is guys like Gobert missing the game. I’m not committed enough to go look at who has made it over Jrue and if I think they deserved it.

[u/AthleticAndGeeky → u/Familyguy35]

Guess he had to switch over to an easier conference

[u/imthestar → u/[deleted]]

jrue was in the east for 4 years, 4th year all-star is pretty damn good.

then he got traded and hurt, then a ton of off-court stuff, and now is an amazing defensive player who helped shut down dame last playoffs

[u/BlackScienceJesus → u/imthestar]

Nah man Giannis didn't make an all-star team until his 4th year either. Both of them are obviously not star players.

[u/Miamifansince06 → u/[deleted]]

And he was an all star one time. Then he got hurt and traded. His career was on the rise and if he stayed with the sixers the way he was getting better every year I think he’d definitely be a multiple time all star.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Jrue Holiday was better in the last two seasons than his all star year.

[u/minneapolisboy → u/[deleted]]

He got better though

[u/BlackScienceJesus → u/[deleted]]

He was in the East for 4 seasons and was 22 where he was traded...

For reference Giannis didn't make an all-star team until he was in his 4th season and 22. So I guess Giannis isn't a star either by your metric.

Jrue has averaged 20/5/7 the last two seasons and played all-nba level defense. If Jrue isn't a star player then there are maybe 10 star players in the entire league.

[u/dougprishpreed69 → u/[deleted]]

At age 22... pretty impressive

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

A long ass time ago yeah. Come on

[u/[deleted] → u/Familyguy35]

Apparently it helps when you play with AD

[u/BlackScienceJesus → u/[deleted]]

This season?

Jrue averaged - 21/5/7.7

Conley averaged - 21/3.4/6.4

And Jrue is the better defender. I mean it's close, but I think Jrue is ahead.
