    Default Kyrie is more of a natural scorer than Lebron

    He doesn't rely on brute force and speed to score the ball.

    You mean he is more of a finesse scorer than Lebron who is a power/brute scorer

    No such thing as a 'natural' scorer

    Lebron's problem is he tries to play too often like something he's not. He needs to play like Paul Millsap did today... He still is an efficient scorer, he just has tendencies to try play iso ball, which isn't his game. At least turn it into a PnR, or post possession. Lebron should really try working on his face up post game. Like Millsap today.

    I know it's something he probably won't do but Lebron should let Kyrie do his thing in crunch time while he serves as a decoy.

    Kyrie is the kind who would be brutal to play with on days his shot isnt going. That dude overdribbles like Steve Francis. Seems like every time he scores he takes about 3 seconds too long to do it. Just on the edge of a teammate losing composure. Lebron holds the ball as well but hes always willing to give it up the moment someone comes open. Kyrie gets blinders on and takes it to the streets.

    So they're just going to live and die by Kyrie?

    I disagree. I think they're better off running their offense and trying to get open looks rather than depending on Curry to create for them.

    I agree with Kyrie having the ball in crunch time. He's more proven in the clutch than lebron and is a threat from more parts of the floor than lebron is. They should still run an offense but it should go through him

    That's because refs call fouls less inside late in the game

    It's why gamewinners are almost always jumpers from outside

    Kyrie is a better jumpshooter and has a scorer-mindset.

    LeBron has always been a tactical basketball player, not a pure scorer. It just so happens that for most of his career, making the right play involved him going to the rim.

    Lebron has to play more like this, instead of playing Iso ball, from the outside

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W20Pz5JOMrU

    You almost never see him face up in the post

    He would be so dangerous at it

    Is it really a face up if it's 20ft from the basket? Those to me are isolation plays, especially because he takes so long

    It's a matter of getting deep position and then being able to effectively use a face up, which it has more value than a faceup 20ft from the basket which is really an ISO
