With the amount of touches he has, and the fact he doesn't have as much time to build a rhythm (touches for Bron and Love) as he normally would - he's playing about as well as he could be.


You're undervaluing his role/load on the offense. Plus in the 127 minutes he's played without Bron, his FG%/TS% (63%) is considerably much higher than playing with Bron on the court, on a higher usage rate - with a higher assist rate and higher hockey assist rate.



Well as evidence from the minutes he doesn't play with Bron, that isn't entirely true. Kyrie is arguably the best one-on-one player in the league, there isn't any player that can make the game easier for him, that he can't already do for himself (it's the distribution of offensive workloads more than anything else). Yes, granted Bron is the better passer out of the two, but the mechanics as to why they have more success with Kyrie playing more off the ball in half-court sets, is because Bron in his current state isn't able to (broke jumper and unable to move around the court as well as he once did).


Well the problem with that comparison is, Kyrie isn't playing as well as Wade did in 10/11 (although the margin is minimal), however Bron isn't playing close to where he was in 10/11. There's a bigger gap between Bron's play now and 10/11, than there is in Wade's 10/11 play and Kyrie's this season.


Which is half the reason why Kyrie has been performing better - as I said Bron's highs have been much better but they've been brought down by his lows and just overall general passiveness, clumsiness and inability to break down defenses.



Him being the most valuable piece doesn't even need to be said, the argument over who's been the best performer so far does.

All three guys have to make adjustments, it is what it is. You got three stars teaming up, it's up to them to figure it out and make it work, ain't no "as well as he could be" as if he is carrying some cumbersome burden in playing with an ATG and an allstar. His ass "could be" rolling with Dion Waters as his best teammate, headed to yet another lottery.

If you don't think that Bron's presence on the team and the court has positively impacted Kyrie then I really don't now what to tell you. :yeshrug: Based on that 127 minute sample (out of 684 total minutes) Bron is actually holding him back and they should get rid of him :heh:.

Kyrie isn't playing as well as the shell of Wade we saw a couple years ago. You are severely overrating dude's performance and impact here breh. Kyrie has performed better at shooting, that's it. He's always been a better shooter and now he's getting to play one on one more and not be the main focus of the opposing teams defense due to the presence of Bron and Love as well. Meanwhile Bron is the main focus and he's struggling and they have been comparable in every area but 3pt shooting. Every other facet of the game is advantage Bron. It takes more of a drop from Lebron and more of a spike from Kyrie to say that Kyrie has been better. I don't see what is so hard to understand about this. Kyrie is a better shooter. Bron is not just a better passer he's a better playmaker. Meaning you put the ball in his hands and he will make the right play whether it is scoring himself (top 5 in the L) or setting someone else up (top 5 in the L), making sure other guys are in rhythm, getting guys that aren't great one on one players going. I will say it for the third and final time, if these two guys switched performances, with Kyrie top 5 in ppg an apg, you would be saying the exact same shyt. This is all about the players and reputations and level of scrutiny.

Blake top 5 in scoring w/o stat padding and playong avg most of the season. And he usually outplays LA head2head.

And Aldridge has the fg% of a guard

:what: No he doesn't, Blake gets shut down against LMA, only way he makes his money is by getting to the line.

Blake knows LMA is too skilled for his plays. Not to mention LMA :eat: real against the clips...
