Kyrie is the ex factor to keep the Cleveland offense from becoming stagnant when Lebron starts slow or isn't producing until Lebron gets back on track.
That's how the cavs beat Atlanta Game 3. Despite Lebron going 0-10 his role players step up and keep the offense at flow. Because Atlanta could have blown them away not to mention Lebron was doing other things to keep the team at float.
But you can't count on the role players to be that consistent. Aftee what Kyrie did the The Spurs there's no doubt in myin he can take over and do the same against The Warriors. And if Kyrie plays at that level the Warriors have no chance unless Curry has one of those nights. But even still, Lebron will be the closer
Kyrie is a bonus; I think that TT, Shump and Smith are going to kill Golden State. Lebron owns everyone that could possibly guard him and they'll either have to throw 2 defenders at any time or pack the paint and leave the shooters open.
Shump can and will be able to keep Curry honest and tired with all the running around to get open.
Only thing that the Cavs have to be worried about are the illegal GS screens but if the refs don't let that shyt slide, we could be in for a very short series. Call me crazy but i think that this goes 5 games at max if Kyrie plays at 80-100% and 6 if Kyrie doesnt get enough gametime like in the ECF. When healthy, him and Lebron can play heavy minutes.
Houston fukked themselves up in the WCF vs. the other way round and this was with them letting Curry take a lot of open shots and making multiple stupid turnovers.
Oh, another thing, Cavs role players dont need to shoot a high % because TT will get them a lot of second chance opportunities.
better scorer/shooter that's about it.
