Breh couldn't be the #1 guy when Bron isn't on the court, but thinks he can be the #1 guy when he isn't on the team :patrice:
The team was picked and designed specifically for Bron ball, it's no surprise it doesn't work when Bron isn't playing. Kyrie playing in an actual system with Stevens is gonna let us know what type of player kyrie is. In Bron ball he could get 40, but his role was strictly limited to ISO scoring. Let's see what he does with an actual team system.

when you want to perfect your craft as a pointguard,but you are surrounded by a bunch of goofy ass nikkas Lebron keeps around as good yes men,how can you perfect your craft:pachaha:....

does kyrie's craft as a pg actually include passing/making other better?

Yea, SAS gave Kyrie a side eye after the answer to where he ranked as a PG in the league .....lot of vague beta male answers here. They cannot enjoy interviewing him...he's vanilla as fukk:mjlol:......won't answer anything straight

This is actually how you are supposed to handle cacs and c00ns...

Never get rattled . Stay composed, deflect and flip it on them.

What does this mean? Bron ball just means he has shooters spacing the floor, typically one or two good rebounders, and a 2nd option to get buckets. Bron-Ball is "create enough offensive pressure to create a defensive lapse and then pass".

Why wasn't Kyrie able to get wins with decent wing defenders, shooters to space the floor, and the all-star superteam member of Kevin Love?

there is nothing specific to lebron about the cavs. Basically all the great teams in the nba have the same make up which is stretch 4 with numerous 3 and D guys + a dominant perimeter player unless they have a dominant low post player or if's it's a team with all defense and 1 offensive player early 2000's sixers with iverson which doesn't exist today. Basically you're saying kyrie's flaws/strenghths can only be maximized on team like those Iverson, sixers.....since Kyrie doesn't make players better and doesn't play any d:mjgrin:

His answer to did you tell Lebron :mjlol:. Just by reading his demeanor, he hates him. I wonder what truly happened behind the scenes. Maybe Lebron gave the go ahead on willing to trade him

TYRONE GA!
:mjpls: AND LUKE WALTON WAS HIGHLY PRAISED FOR THAT.





:mjpls: BUT KERR GETS LABELED A GREAT COACH
FOR COACHING THE SAME TEAM.


:devil:
:evil:


Of course the media will cyse the cac instead of the nikka. Brown is a damn good defensive coach. His X's and O's are his weak points.

It was Kerr's system that turned made them take that hide leap whether we like it or not. Don't think he's great but I'll give him "solid".

Only one great coach in the league and that's Pop.

I don't even understand his purpose in doing this... it's not like he decided right before the interview that he was going to be incoherently cryptic. That was his intention all along... so I can't imagine why he would go out of his way to travel to Bristol and do this, knowing he was about to give some bullshyt nonsensical answers the whole time.
