All kyrie wouldve provided is much better scoring in crunchtime (and in general), and based on what we saw in those series, better defense as well. The splash bros laid a fat do0kie on westbrook... not so much on irving. i do however attribute a good deal of that back to the pressure kyrie's over and over scoring put on them to answer. With westbrook you know hes going to miss so much that youll have plenty of shots at responding.
