There are three tenants of David Blatt’s offense that took the Big Three completely out of their comfort zones. He and LeBron James, wanted Kyrie Irving to focus on passing more and making the assist. Kyrie believes he’s a better scorer than LeBron, and that’s how he plays the game.
Kevin Love went from being the man and responsible for setting up a lot of his own shots, to needing assists to make anything.
James was playing a lot of isolation basketball on a team with two superstars who were supposedly playmakers, and the team would stand around and watch him score, so he made easy points for himself without them making it easy for him.
