The idea that Itachi predicted when Kirin was going to land, because of what Sasuke said is also ridiculous. It took some time (probably a few seconds) from when Sasuke said "begone with the Thunderclap" until Sasuke hand descended all the way. Because it took time after Sasuke said that, as far as Itachi knew Kirin could have been brought down at any time within those couple seconds, since:

1. Itachi wasn't looking Sasuke when he brought Kirin down, he was looking at the sky. He couldn't have known that Sasuke didn't time his words with the motion for kirin to come down, so that they happen at the same time.

2. Kirin is a fast 1/1000 of a second, there's a extremely small margin for error here and in your scenario he can't react to kirin.
