1. belief

   Doctrine primarily signifies that which is taught; principle, the fundamental basis on which the teaching rests. A doctrine is reasoned out, and may be defended by reasoning; a dogma rests on authority, as of direct revelation, the decision of the church, etc. A doctrine or dogma is a statement of some one item of belief; a creed is a summary of doctrines or dogmas. Dogma has commonly, at the present day, an offensive signification, as of a belief arrogantly asserted. Tenet is simply that which is held, and is applied to a single item of belief; it is a neutral word, neither approving nor condemning; we speak of the doctrines of our own church; of the tenets of others. A precept relates not to belief, but to conduct. Compare FAITH; LAW.

   Synonyms:
   article of belief, article of faith, doctrine, dogma, precept, principle, teaching, tenet

2. Brooklyn Nets:

   Kyrie Irving has his own belief so I respect that. But we have to make a team decision. This isn't a decision about him. This is a decision about where we go as a team, and it's just not tenable for us to have a team with a player that comes in and out, no home games, only away games. What do you do in practice then ? This week we have a whole stretch of six home games, so we won't have Kyrie Irving.
