This is a tough atmosphere for everyone in the country and I think it’s certainly amplified in Kyrie’s case. I do hope he uses the resources available to him.I truly believe that Kyrie has some mental illness of some type that is becoming mor acute by the year. This is why I always wondered if the Nets would be a contender. Kyrie’s issues become a cancer on team building and it is not situational, as it manifested itself in Cleveland, Boston and, now, New Jersey. It’s too bad that these things play out on a stage because mental illness is real, but that is the nature of somebody who becomes a public figure.
On a somewhat related note, many players spoke about the isolation and mental strain of being in the bubble last year. I’m not even sure that’s a viable option this year and with more games cancelled today we may be coming to a head with the situation.
