Its too much all Kyrie
Nobody else gets a chance to score it seems like
Look at the Nuggets basketball
And their defense plays with energy because of it
LOL.
My god. I was at least waiting for the game to have finished before this nonsense takes came to play
It’s not Kyrie. JB and JT are 4-17 and we have made it too easy for Denver eg their most recent possession
The Kyrie apologists just don't get it.
Part of the reason the other players do not shoot well is because they are so out-of-rhythm because the ball is not moving, they spend too much time standing around watching Irving dribble the shot clock away. That is Irving's style and it clashes with the coach's style and with the other players. Also, as triboy mentioned, this also leads to an overall lack of activity by the team as a whole. They are not as involved and it carries over to the defense.
People point out gaudy stats for Irving and say, "See, not his fault, he is playing great". This misses the point. When Irving is dominant, the rest of the team is less involved - yes, even when he has big assist numbers, it often just means he dominated the ball, made a penetration and then ONE pass that led to a basket. That's fine once in awhile, but over the course of the entire game, it puts Tatum, Brown, etc. to sleep - on both ends.
