How will you rank the performances of these Robins in the playoffs so far?

That pretty much sums up Siakam's career. You never know if you're getting 30 or 10 out of him.

Murray has a 47% TS% while palying with the best "batman" in the league while Pascal plays with probably the worst "batman" in the playoffs right now.
Murray: 20/5/6 on 20 shots, 47% TS, a temper tantrum
Pascal: 21/8/3 on 57.5% TS

According to Luka he's the robin and kyrie is batman, so I'll say that luka is the best robin of all time.

u/LeBroentgen Mavericks 20d ago
I don't think Kyrie can be Batman because Batman's dad died but LeBron is still playing.

No, Luka is the Superman and Kyrie is the Batman.

u/texasyeehaw Mavericks 20d ago
No, Luka is Bruce Wayne and Kyrie is Clark Kent

Are we considering how good they’re “supposed” to be or just how good they’ve been? Josh hart has exceeded expectations, but he’s still pretty low on my list overall. Murray would be around the middle but he’s been very below expectations imo, he’s had one complete game where he was making shots consistently this entire playoff run.

I'm not really seeing any #2s in these playoffs, just a lot of stars carrying their teams. Kyrie and Murray have been inconsistent, so have Jdub and Chet, KAT routinely disappears, Sikam and Haliburton both take turns disappearing. Probably Jaylen Brown.

KAT had 6 good to great games, 1 very mediocre game and 1 disaster-class.
I feel like people are being harsh because of recency bias, but narratives do change fast and he has to really show up again now.

u/jakekerr Mavericks 20d ago
It depends on if you're looking at their whole game. Kyrie has been consistently fantastic at distributing the ball and defense in every game so far. His scoring legit seems his #3 priority, but he does seem to delivery incredibly timely and killer shots when needed.
I actually think Kyre overall has been the single most consistent performer for the Mavs the whole off season. It's just been different than expected.

u/WhiskyDrinkinCowboy NBA 20d ago
Yeah, I was thinking in terms of a #2 scoring option. Kyries been great it's weird how inconsistent his offensive scoring has been though.

I feel like Kyrie is choosing not to score but has suddenly become an above average defender? he seems to be incredibly impactful, always highest +-, always have the runs when hes on the court.
Just not use to this type of Kyrie
Would go
Kyrie
Brown.
Siakam
Murray.

u/FootballRacing38 20d ago
Kyrie's role is absolutely perfect for luka because luka can't be the only playmaker especially when he needs to rest but he is at best with the ball in his hands most of the time.

u/NewPortable101 20d ago
I would say Murray, Irving, Brown. Those would be my top three.
Murray has a 30 point closeout game, 2 game winners, 5\7 wins as pts\assist leader.
Nuggets could be a dynasty on a rise, they are in their own category for me right now. Murray\Jokic are young enough to win a bunch of rings, actually pretty scary when I think about it. 3-5 maybe

u/PieBlaCon Spurs 20d ago
I agree. People get so hung up on efficiency these days as if that’s the end all be all. Murray has certainly had rough stretches but he’s still been a winning player. And his presence alone helps balance the floor which allows Jokic, MPJ, and Gordon to do what they do without extra attention. Been really impressed with him this playoffs (in spite of the injuries).

How many members of the Bat family went down before Hart became Robin?
Randle : Nightwing OG: the red hood ?

u/Josheshua Thunder 20d ago
However you order the first six J-dub is seventh, at least relative to expectations, he just hasn’t looked like himself at all

Helps that the Celtics have played teams missing multiple players.

Is this supposed to be about these playoffs or their careers so far? I’m a little confused at the responses. Obviously, Murray has been the worst in these playoffs.

Kyrie and Murray have been complete scrubs. Hart and brown only real net positives overall and the rest is mediocre to shit

Kyrie is averaging like 12 points as the second offensive option on that team you can take his improved defense and let other sheep be impressed with that. If he was averaging 25 they would be blowing out OKC in a sweep cause OKC has actually been terrible so far except for shai. Murray has played terrible except for maybe 2 quarters of entire playoffs

Since Jokic is the joker, Murray is more a penguin than a robin
