Kyrie Irving needs to just switch to the 2 guard like Iverson

Like Aaron McKie wasn't guarding 2 guards? Just because he played the off guard offensively doesn't mean he was guarding them defensively.

I mean this was obvious.:tellmemore: Magic didnt defend PG's either, but he was pointguard. Bryon Scott did so earvin wouldn't have to go through that :mjgeek:

None of his teammates are even near anything close to being offensive threats. CJ Miles is the closest. Dion Waiters is not a starting 2 guard by any means.

Been saying this... dude has done nothing to prove he is a good floor general.

The Paul comparisons never made sense.

He dished out 11 dimes against The Lakers this week. :madkobe:

I just looked it up. He has 5 games with double digit assists in his career. :what:

I'll give him a slight pass since he's been hurt a lot and last year was a shortened season. Just to compare for those who wanna know, Rose had 7 his rookie season. Westbrook had 9.

And neither of those PGs are great when it comes to passing. LOL, even though Westbrook is better at it than Rose. if you turn Irving into a PG, you take away everything that makes him effective. He's not good yet with moving without the ball, so it would be interesting to see how he plays at stretches without having the ball in his hands. Something that would help him AND this team is if they add a true post-player (now-defunct). but him working the 2-man game with a post-player and playing buddy-ball with Waiters would elevate this team to the playoffs.

Hurt Kid M.A.S.K. City is beastly out there. But all that shaking and baking ain't gonna win anything unless he becomes a better playmaker. His jumper though... :blessed:

:huhldup:

The homie had a zero assist game this year. Zero assists in 34 minutes for a PG. Where your court vision at, huh my nikka? It's M.A.S.K. City, please pass my nikka.

Have you seen them play? I wouldn't pass either. :mjpls:

I watch them all the time, Kyrie is on my must see tv list this year. A lot of NBA PGs play with garbage and still make plays. That's kind of what good PGs do. Zero assists in 34 minutes for a PG? Unacceptable unless you're playing with 4 laustin rivers clones bricking Js all game.

How do you figure Westbrook is a better passer than Rose? Because he averaged more assists? Lol. OKC runs a totally different offense than the Bulls. Chicago slows it down while OKC likes to run. Russ gets a lot of his assists off Durant catching and shooting and fast breaks. Just last season, Russ averaged less than 6 assists while Rose averaged 8.

Hell, Rose won the skills competition his rookie season :skip:
