[BeastMode24]

19 in the first quarter.

Such a skilled scorer. Gonna make Curry his bitch again in the Finals.
Flat out stud:bowdown:

Him and love are just a treat to watch. Always wanted love to step up and have scoring explosions like kyrie has had since the big 3 formed. Happy to see him stepping up

What a baller. How much help does Lebron need?

It's too bad you fakkits can't just appreciate Kyrie for the player that he is, have to make shit about LeBron :facepalm

[MrFonzworth]

Lebron held him back 2nd Q.

[CTbasketball92]

I'll never stop being amazed by how polished his scoring skills are, and how seamless and logical they seem to be. Literally just counter moves atop counter moves. Such a precise dissection of a defense. I wish these games were closer so he could drop a few 40 pieces, though. Still, 24 ppg on good efficiency with K. Love looking better than ever and LeBron coasting but looking confident on his jumper and delivering pinpoint passes just looks amazing. Can't wait to follow this team going forward.

It's too bad fakkits like myself can't just appreciate Kyrie for the player that he is, and have to down play him to prop up Lebron. :facepalm

I agree. You and the other fakkits really need to stop this because most of us actually watch the games.

He has the most beautiful game around right now.

Of course...he's in a great situation to be able to show his strengths. He and Lebron/Love have an amazing dynamic now.

He has an enormous backboard...the best player in the game. And another who can carry himself if needed.

Dude has an easy job. Just be a crazy skilled half court player and let those other 2 dudes do everything else.

If his job is easy, how about Kevin Durant? Or Steph Curry?

Or really any player on an elite team in today's NBA? They're all ridiculously stacked.

There really is no need to preface Kyrie's ridiculous start to the season explaining why he's in a good situation. That's a given when you win an NBA title in today's era of Super Teams.

Still, Kyrie has a completely unique game and it fits in perfectly alongside what the Cavs do.


Think about this...

Kyrie is now averaging 24 points on 49/43/86 splits just 13 games into the season and he had a game against Philly where he missed shootaround and went 3-for-17 from the field and 0-for-5 from three. This early in the season, one horrifically bad shooting game can drown your statistics.

You take away that game and Kyrie is shooting 51% from the field and 47% from three. Damn close to the 50/40/90 club without that unusual circumstance.

Get off his dick already.

To answer your question, Lebron needs the least amount of help in the history of the nba.

He's taken the two worst supporting casts of all time to the Finals in 2007 and 2015 (current Cavs with Love and Irving injured...which meant that JR Smith and Delledova were his sidekicks).

You're right. But most people don't really take context into account.

When he has a ridiculous start everything becomes about him. Same for Lebron. Or Curry or KD.

Unless it fits their narrative most people don't take into a account these things that you're saying that should be implicit.

Kyrie is absolutely a crazy unique player though.
