Why has Mo Williams been a better PG for the Cavs than Kyrie Irving?

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

16.5 ppg 5.5 apg 3.3 apg

49% FG 41% 3P 91% FT


He knows his role and plays within the offense, that's why.

And oh yea, he makes 2 mill a year

Mo has been underrated his whole career.
Probably a better fit because of his spot up shooting playing with lebron than kyrie.

Time to bring arthritis irving off the bench

Mo has been doing his thing & was/is one of the missing pieces (guard wise) the Cavs needed/needs to compete for the chip this year.

THERES NOT A MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KYRIE AND MO...

KYRIE IS JUST A YOUNGER SLIGHTLY IMPROVED VERSION.

Kyrie making 16 mill is unnecessary with Mo on the squad.

Mo can finish at the rim off the dribble? Mo can create his own shot when the shot clock running down? Tell me more please

Mo is playing great

54% of his shots are assisted, if you think they can win a title with 1 creator on the entire team....

Once the playoffs roll around you need dynamic players, as good as Mo has been he cannot create for himself while Kyrie is an elite shot creator.

This time last year Kyrie was averaging 21/5/5 on 47% and 46% from 3, all while creating a lot of offense for himself. The Cavs don't need a traditional PG, they need LeBron to play that role while Kyrie is basically a scorer & part time facilitator.

Kyrie's production came at the expense of Love's involvement.

This time last year Cavs were not as good as they are this year.

And?

 

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

Let's get this understood...

Kevin Love is a better basketball player than Kyrie Irving.

Love's combination of scoring + rebounding + passing > Kyrie's scoring + passing

With Mo Williams the team understands this. With Kyrie there's confusion and unnecessary role reduction to accommodate the way Kyrie plays.

Basically the Cavs don't need Kyrie's scoring ability more than they need Love's passing, scoring and overall engagement possession to possession.

What's so hard to understand about this?

And?

This time last year they were a team with new pieces

Love was also out of shape and admitted as much, as seen by the fact he was averaging 17ppg to start last season then started trailing off the more the season went on. Right this second Love is shooting a lower percentage from the field than he was with Kyrie at the same time last year

If you think this team can win a title with Mo Williams starting at PG you're out of your mind, he's going to be a dangerous weapon off the bench for them but they need Kyrie because he gives them a dynamic edge not a lot of teams have.
