PG thrive in today's offense because of spacing. There's a reason they weren't doing this 20 years ago. If the cavs can't hit outside shots they'll just close the paint and this is what you'll get. It's not Irving's fault. He's a 6-3 (generous) guard. That's what his game relies on.

bricking everything outside the paint. lebron-esque.

I mean they are all 6-6'2. In the playoffs once the defense gets tighter and refs stop calling every little push in the paint they suffer. It's obvious the league wants a more uptempo 3 point focused game. It's crazy how one game they call every little touch a foul then completely change tune in the next game.

That's why Westbrook/Kyrie look unstoppable 1 game then shit the next, Warriors are allowed to play physical defense and make you beat them with shooting. Durant/Westbrook turned to brick city, same will happen to Kyrie/Lebron. Need Love and JR to get hot from 3 point land.

Allowed to play physical defense? Kyrie shot 12 FTs.

kyrie is very harden like the way he swings his elbows at defenders to ward them off, and does all the little fancy 1 2 stepping where he runs into a guy that isnt doing anything .. and he got double digit FTs tonight.

Kyrie's problem is that he gets tunnel vision and hijacks the offense for a contested fade away way too often. And he's a complete liability on defense.

I mean it goes either way, sometimes they flop for free throws, sometimes they get hacked and it's a no call. I just wish it was more consistent, just watch next game it's gonna be completely different.
