Nah.. nothjng to do with this so called bron ball..Blame Bron Ball
Excuses and excuses. And Kobe was in the lottery in 2013 as well. The league had to
him to the playoffs.Players TouchesNot saying ur wrong but. How can u tell harden ha dles the balm 9.5 minutes per game and jyrie 5.2 while watching.....sounds very box scorish to me but hey
On the flip side... i cant believe he finaly plays how we wished he played in cleveland
It has A LOT to do with Bron Ball, actually.
Kyrie had more touch and shot than lebron....Players Touches
He's now up to 5.3 minutes per game after yesterday's game. Now obviously, if you can't attach the right context to a player's TOP, it's meaningless.

You mentioned Harden as a candidate, he has a 23-ppg scorer on his team (a greater offensive threat than anyone on the Celtics), he also has the benefit of a constant spread floor because of the 3-pt shooting/lineups that the Rockets have, that gives him more space to work with.
That's the exact reason why he was playing the way he was in Cleveland, because he was forced into that role - the role where he'd either just be another shooter, or where he'd be the one with the ball trying to break down his man on an ISO, while everyone else just stood around. That's what a large amount of his possessions consisted of. It's almost the complete opposite in Boston. Now he's screening for players, directing traffic on offense, getting the ball out of his hands earlier and moving without it, getting players secondary looks, cutting to the rim and/or funneling back out to an open space consistently etc etc.
Who the hell is saying this? He doesn't handle the ball for long enough to put up big surface #s. Take your straw man that way.
Irving is putting up similar points per time of possession that IT did last season, while creating more looks for his teammates. And no this Celtics roster is not worse than last season. Stop with the revisionist bullshyt.Isaiah Thomas averaged 30 on 60 TS% last year & led a worse Celtics roster to the 1st seed.
.
Pretending Harden is being carried by his shooters when they're only 21st in 3 PT shooting (large part due to Harden) is extremely hilarious by the way.
Mbah A Moute, PJ Tucker, Ariza & Bobby Brown are apparently elite shooters.
He's literally averaging 22/3/6 on only 56 TS% yet these nikkas are acting like he's putting up prime MJ numbers. Isaiah Thomas averaged 30 on 60 TS% last year & led a worse Celtics roster to the 1st seed.
Hate to think about the takes we'll be seeing once he actually starts playing like an MVP. Horford, Brad Stevens & the Celtics defence has a lot more to do with their record than Irving.
So its coaching then...
