Fantastic Godfather, well said.
In the first season when James was gone, and I first saw Kyrie's game, me and my buddy were like "is this not the guy that we needed the entire fucking time?
This wasn't Mo Williams, he had AI like finishing ability, with that Chauncey Billups like 3pt jumper.
I always thought Irving's 3pt prowess would be a dream next to LBJ. I kept thinking, LeBron has never played with a ball handler like this on any level in his entire basketball career.
Miami was awkward, their physicality on defense, and athletic intensity in transition was their core competency.
Chris Bosh really helped bridge that gap, because Wade and James were not exactly complementary. In Irving and James, we now have a true complementary pairing, and once Love assumes the Chris Bosh' shots, and keeps getting us 15 boards a night, we'll be just fine.
What you are seeing godfather is the result of a natural pairing. What you aren't seeing yet is the true chemistry, the 6th sense of basketball, knowing exactly when guys will be in their spots. That's coming. This isn't a fluke.
