There's really only two guys that come off the bench that are putting up shots-- THJ and Wood. THJ and Kyrie are tight, so it's not hard to see that he's talking about Wood.
I get it-- Wood thought he'd be drafted and wasn't. He had to fight every day to have a roster spot. We're his 7th team in 8 years so it has to be hard to be a team-first guy when it's a different team every year and you are desperate for that next payday.
Still, I think Kyrie might be right-- there are guys who are going for their own glory (and who wouldn't on the Rockets) that need to grow up and play team-first ball.

Again though, who didn't know this after we traded for him? Impossible to be team first when you played for the Rockets being promised a chance to play with James Harden.
With that said, it still doesn't negate what is going on with Powell. Powell is team first and all bad minus the incredible picks.
So I'm all for Kyrie leading and calling guys out...100%. But the guy who we desperately need defense and rebounding from who should be called out is Diamond Powell. I get that it's not his fault he has this role, but so long as he has it....welp.
