Nope, Bron is not a counter attack player, the vast majority of his scoring comes in the halfcourt. The reason Kyrie/LeBron compliment each other is because of the fact Kyrie can play off the ball and act as a floor spacer which is something Wade couldn't do. Wade and LeBrons' games were too similar, they won off the sheer strength of talent, not because they could truly play off one another.


This Cavs team has a historically great offense, you can talk about this that and the third, but this Cavs offense has been better.

LeBron might play that way to reserve himself, but let's be real, he is best in transition...or are you saying he is better playing in a half-court set?

Unless the players running the floor also can run iso, picks, plus play off each other. This ain't a magic trick, the transition offense flows from their ability to run it plus score in the half-court set.
well as much as you want them to play that way at the end of the day they are gonna do what they feel is best
team full of lifetime ballers and basketball minds
let them cook

at one point people argued whether wade and james had redundant skillsets.......wing slashers who were both good playmakers

and we can actually argue that the heat didnt find out who they were until that indiana series when bosh got injured and wade also was playing hurt for Miami to become a smallball defensive blitzing machine

The thing is that they made it to the Finals in their first year, and of course should've won it.

Beloved, why are yall incapable of separating things? Like it's pretty obvious Wade is the better player, but Kyrie is the better fit because of his jumper.

Being a better fit doesn't mean you're a better player.
Why aren't Cavs as dynamic then:jbhmm:

Kyrie is a better fit with LeBron than Wade was, who the better player is obviously Wade but Kyrie's game compliments Brons a lot more. This season Kyrie shot 48% on catch and shoot 3s, for comparisons sakes that was better than Klay Thompson and Kyle Korver.
Kyrie is an iso player and you're not taking into account volume. Horrible example to say they are better fits.

Dynamic? The Cavs offense this year was better than any of the Heat teams offense.

Kyrie's game is exactly what you want next to LeBron, a dude that can function off the ball as a floor spacer.

Kyrie is an iso player and you're not taking into account volume. Horrible example to say they are better fits.


:wtf:

Kyrie shot 40% from three this year, almost 50% on catch and shoot threes, he was better on the catch and shoot than guys who are called 3 point specialists.

And what do you mean by volume? Kyrie has taken 16.5 shots per game since Bron went to the Cavs, Wade took 16.4 in his time with Bron. Wade is the better player, Kyrie fits better with LeBron.

11 Wade was a monster. They were a really good duo. Wade was the better playmaker and slasher.

It's unfortunate, he caused his own demise because he didn't train properly. No one showed him how to work out properly.

Volume on catch and shoot 3's nikka you know damn well I wasn't talking about general shots what does the number of shots taken have to do with fit when they took damn near the same amount. And in general EVERYONE'S efficiency goes up when they don't have to create their own shot ie. catch and shoot opportunities. And ELITE 3 point shooters usually attempt more than 2.3 catch and shoot 3's in the game that is what I mean by volume which means they generally miss more and brings down their percentage like Klay, Steph, Korver, so to compare them would be dishonest. Kyrie is 6th in pull up shot attempts per game he's an iso scorer he rarely works off ball as a floor spacer. The entire playoffs shows you Kyrie is at his best when he has the ball in his hands but now we're going to make up false narratives?
