Helps when he faces single coverage literally 100% of the time because Lebron and Love are his teammates, as well as a bevy of good outside shooters.

[Im Still Ballin]

He's playing a perfect second fiddle to LeBron

[JebronLames]

Best teammate LeBron has played with

[AintNoSunshine]

He will have little problem sustaining that through this round but in the Finals is where he will actually be heavily relied on.

I really hope Kyrie and Love will both show up then Cavs have a great shot even against Warriors.

OP how do you see these 2 performing in the Finals against either West champ?

Love and Lebron both benefit from Irving's scoring ability as well, the trio forces the defenses to play honest and they all get open looks. Lebron gets wide open layups, Love gets wide open corner 3s, Irving gets wide open 3s and single coverage.

Mind you that the teams they have faced aren't exactly great on offense so they don't spend as much energy on playing defense which leads to better production on the offensive end.

And they are playing a team that lost their defensive anchor who also put up 15 points on 55% shooting in the Playoffs and had a 27.5 PER, Lowry has a PER of 14.3 and Derozan is at 12.2

When you have the best handles in the NBA double and triple teams don't matter, we have litterly seen kyrie break them down his entire career.

Updated the numbers in the title.

Kyrie having a great playoffs.

Kyrie's great. His versatility on offense is what I really, really like. I think he's perfect fit next to Lebron, a little bit more time for chemistry to grow and they will be unstoppable if Lebron does not decline too rapidly.

The only specific thing which bothers me and happens a lot is that when Kyrie draws double or even triple team and goes for a jumpshot, there's almost always Thompson or Love open underneath the basket for an easy dunk but he refuses(does not see maybe?) to pass for an easy basket and rather shots midrange jumper over double team.
