Damn shame, How quickly y'all nikkas forget
@ thinking Rye and Kang not getting off next game
Except this year it's not going to be enough. Bron is actually going to have to compete head to head with arguably the best SF in the league. This series ain't gon' be about buckets, it's gonna be about stops. Right now I don't see Bron having any shot of stopping KD, too tall, too agile, too fast.
AI did the same with thing with Eric Snow, yet no one knocks him for it
Nikka didn't AI average like 2 steals per game for his career?

Kyrie is gonna get his but Klay will make him work

Yeah he'd play on the lesser of the two offensive backcourt players and play passing lanes all game. He was a good off ball defender

yeah, klay plays him really well.
he's just a really good defender when he locks in, period. it's not exclusive to kyrie. he's fundamentally sound, he moves his feet really well, he knows how to use his size against smaller guys and can still body-up and/or use leverage against bigger dudes. klay knows what he's doing out there.
the thing is, kyrie is one of those guys that can make those tough-ass contested shots against any defender. so if he's rolling the next game and making those shots, there's gonna be a lot of prisoner-of-the-moment hot takes about how klay can't guard kyrie and he's overrated and all that.
mind you, this IS the finals. this isn't just the culmination of the nba season...this isn't just the final battle between two teams for the ultimate prize in basketball. this is when the stans and the haters REALLY ball out and go as hard as possible - game after game trying to one-up each other with reactionary bullshyt.
it's an extra level of intrigue.

Ya know....
What's funny is that the Warriors doubling Kyrie on the perimeter to get the ball out of his hands.
And they're trying to bait lebron into taking jumpers on sagged off single coverage.
Kinda makes you think who the real threat is on the Cavs offense
