If you don't think that contentious Cavs players' only meeting was a mutiny against Kyrie, you're fooling yourself. Players sick of his act

What exactly is his act? Not being horrible at basketball?

from RCF:

This was supposedly from Columbus writer

Somewhat general, but I asked if I could interview him about Aaron Craft and he seemed very annoyed and got defensive in his answers -- things like, 'Well people said he beat me, but that's what you guys do' -- even though I wasn't pushing him on anything. The interview went fine enough and I got a good story out of it, but after doing a lap around the locker room I came back and asked if I could ask him one more question. All he did was stare at me, before pointing to a PR goon who ushered me out.

After the game, we did a group interview with him, and his answers were fine enough, but when it wrapped up, I heard him say to the PR guy "I swear to god, I'm going to punch so and so in the face." It seemed like he was annoyed that somebody didn't adhere to the PR guy saying "Last question" and Kyrie wasn't having it. This type of thing happens all the time in interviews, and it's not like he'll ever be in Columbus again anytime soon, so for that to get under his skin seemed a bit dramatic.

I talked to some people who cover the team more regularly than I do -- I just went cause I'm a Cavs fan and wanted to get that Craft story -- and not very many people had good things to say about him. Without getting into too much detail, his partying has been a problem, so much so that the Cavs have had to step in at times. There was also an incident where he got a staffer fired last season and where he skipped fan appreciation night. Little things, I guess, but it really changed how I look at him.

I think it's pretty obvious that kyrie's done more sulking than leading since he's been here, but I never would have guessed it was that bad, and I still kind of doubt it.

Also, I would have been 100% stunned to find out that waiters wasn't involved in some way.

Didn't see much of the game tonight, but nice to finally get a road win. Gotta double it up and beat Washington at home to start getting back on track.

Seriously, how great is it to be in the east right now? 7 of the first 12 games against Washington, Charlotte, Philly, and Milwaukee.

Kyrie can be the biggest pretentious dick out there and I won't GAF if he brings some wins.

Strong first quarter so far. Only losing 28-14 to the juggernaut Wizards.

can't win too many games in the NBA when you have trouble reaching 90 nightly. Same shit, different game.

Yeah...pretty much. I am still puzzled why they hired Brown again. You know that he is offensively retarded.

What a [EMAIL="clusterf@ck"]clusterf@ck[/EMAIL]. What looked so promising, prior to the season, is now looking like another lottery year. And Kyrie's starting to look like a bitch. If they're winning I guess he can get away with that crap but when they look this bad, it kind of stands out.

Keep Brown this year, fire him after this year, let them get Wiggins/Parker/Randle, hire a competent coach, then win a lot of games.
