Serious question: Why won't Kyrie pass the damn ball???

[PleezeBelieve]

10 games back and ZERO double digit assist games

Averaging 3.8 APG this season

I mean, damn dude, move the ball!

He's one of those guys that has been a scorer his entire life so he thinks every shot he takes is going in. If you watch him play he gets enough separation and has enough moves that he every shot he takes is a good one at least mentally.

It's really something he needs to work on to reach that next step. Also he thinks a little too highly of his handles. They are the best in the league, but he over uses them when quick and sudden moves would suffice sometimes.

3.8 in 27 mins ain't bad coming off major injury, plus lebron ball and such.

[NattyPButter]

maybe because Lebron has the ball in his hands most of the game, and when he does pass it's to Shumperts dumbass who likes to dribble dribble dribble dribble.

[kennethgriffin]

lebron wants to average 30 point triple doubles and turn everyone else into kick out 3 point shooting role players


thats why

[bluechox2]

lebron told kyrie that hes gonna be the point forward...cut the point guard passing ideo out of your game from here on out...spot up shooter and ocasional drive ins if hes good

[winwin]

RBA has the answer.

ask him nicely

[Bandito]

Kyrie the scorer and Lebron the point guard. What more do you expect? In 27 min thats pretty good

[FKAri]

He has Sticky Fingers from all that Brown Sugar before games. He needs to learn from Lebron and go HAM with the powder.

He didn't pass the ball before LeBron got there.

Stupid response

[SpaceJam]

He was averaging near 6 assists pre-LeBron :biggums:

He also was averaging 5.2 last year so he should get back into those numbers

[Uncle Drew]

Dion Waiters.

[senelcoolidge]

This is the era of small scoring point guards that can't defend for their lives and look to shoot first than to pass.

Dion Waiters.


ironically a more willing passer than Kyrie... And's that's saying something. :oldlol:

Hard to get assists when LeBron is the most ball dominant person on the team. This isn't your typical point guard scenario.

Cavs had 3 rostered at one point... Kyrie, Dion, and Jarret Jack.. and people blamed the offensive problems on the coach rather then the personnel :hammerhead:

[TemporaMutantur]

They'll go up a bit in due time as the chemistry with his team comes back, but I don't see him averaging above 6 assists, that's not his game.

[Done_And_Done]

He's averaging 5.6 in his (albeit very short) career. He's always been a shoot first player, dating back to his youth. It's a style of play that he knows and is comfortable with.

thats why
Lebron James usg% 32.2
Kyrie Irving usg% 30.1
