Preseason...

He shot under 35% from the floor during last year's shortened preseason.
This just in... Preseason means nothing and a lot of guys use these glorified scrimmages to work on some of the kinks in their games.
Who cares?

You guys need to ease up with the posting of rl pics and such. It's a basketball forum, and he made a perfectly acceptable observation. There's no reason to make such mean spirited personal attacks.
As for Kyrie, I think there's a good possibility, at least statistically, that he remains the same this season, or even takes a small step backwards. Teams and players have had a chance to scout your game, and defenses are going to make the adjustments.

Yes sir. Wade, Rose, Durant, CP3 and Melo all had MVP type 3rd seasons. Look for Griffin, Wall, and Cousins to do the same.

Well if it was a solid poster I'd feel bad, but if you're going to be annoying and constantly troll posters you bring this on yourself by posting a picture.
Anyways back on topic. About Kyrie Irvin who cares it's preseason. It means jack shit for starters.

Thats what i said that all those guys improved in their second years so the whole sophmore slump thing is not real.

Why do you guys care what he looks like? He was just pointing out kyries slump during the preseason. Butt hurt kyrie fans go and try to make it personal.

Let him work out the rust. He'll still be a Top 10 PG at least this year.

Couple of notes...
1. Why don't we quit with the personal attacks? If you want to discuss RRR3 and what he looks like, do it in the thread where he originally posted the picture, which is undoubtedly off-topic for this forum. He and I are on opposites sides of the spectrum when it comes to sports fandom, but I fail to see the correlation between that and his looks. Stop posting that nonsense. I've cleaned up this thread... let's keep it that way. I shouldn't have to micromanage this site in such an extreme way.
2. For those saying these are Cavs/Kyrie fans posting his picture over and over... They pretty clearly are not. These are Internet rivalries bleeding over into a completely unrelated conversation.
3. I wouldn't be completely shocked if Kyrie's efficiency dropped a bit this year. I do think his overall numbers (points, assists, rebounds, steals) will go up because he should be playing more minutes and he should be more accustomed to the NBA regular season grind, but he has also made quite a name for himself in the last year and teams are going to be gunning to stop him... Not that they weren't last year, but it is even more pronounced now.
Also, this is a very young roster from top to bottom. While far more talented than last year's Cavs with a much brighter future, there aren't those steady leaders out there like Anthony Parker and Jamison to really guide the way for the young guys. Kyrie is on his own a little more this season.
And, on top of everything else, his efficiency was so good last year, it is just going to be difficult to replicate until he starts getting into his actual prime. 47/40/87 is just insane for a rookie point guard. It wouldn't exactly take an enormous slump for those numbers to drop a bit.
All of that said, I put no weight on what is happening in the preseason. He looks like he's treating these like practices, which is essentially what they are.

A little better than OK, I'd say, depending on what your standards are. There is nothing wrong with Kyrie. Again, he's treating these preseason games as glorified practice, which is what they are.
CJ Miles has looked great in the preseason, btw. Maybe a change of scenery is exactly what the doctor ordered?

Kyrie's assist #'s will go down a bit since Waiters will be on the floor with him a lot and they will no-doubt share ball-handling duties to some extent.

Could be, but I'm banking on minutes played will cancel out any ball-handling duties being shared. One other thing that will hurt his assist numbers more than likely, though, is the loss of Jamison. Sure, he could be a black hole offensively and he was a matador on defense, but the guy can still score. It isn't all that easy to find a guy who can throw up 25-30 points on any given night.
It should be noted that the last full month he played prior to his injury, he was averaging 32+ minutes, 20 points, 6.7 assists, 5 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game.
I believe those numbers are completely in-play for Kyrie this season since he will likely by playing in that 30-35 minute per game range all year.
One last thing... Having Ramon Sessions for over half the year was a nice luxury for the rookie last year and it allowed Byron to monitor Kyrie's minutes very closely, as he had a very capable backup. There is no backup PG like Sessions on this year's roster, so if Waiters takes some of the duties away from Kyrie, it isn't necessarily something new.
