Who deserves the blame for the still weak offense?

[AZCavs]

Mike Brown...

Only slightly joking.

 

[tn819]

If the guys go away from what you implemented, does the fault lie with the system or the guys who haven't learned it?

6 assist as a team in the Jazz game, you can't win like that. Something has to change.

What don't you people understand? He can't shoot if he doesn't have the ball. Neither can Waiters or Joe Harris or any 3 point shooter you put out there.

 

[Captain S]

A lot has to do with Kyrie

Did he just forget everything he supposedly learned on team USA

Hope LeBron or blatt mentions this

It's definitely chemistry, although I think it's more the history of losing.

LeBron and Love are constantly in good spots on offense, and players are making good moves at times. The problem, and this is why tanking is so dangerous, is that players like Kyrie and Dion are so used to trying to make ISO work that they think, whether consciously or unconsciously, they have to do it all themselves still.

This team needs to play together for a little bit and the young players need to totally change their mindset.

 

[Tlyons]

70% chemistry

20% LeNolift

5% Kyrie hero ball

5% Everything else

And thats my blame chart

Too many times Kyrie would get to the rim and throw up a wild shot instead of dishing it to a WIDE open 3 point shooter. Drive and kick, Kyrie. Drive and kick.

It's not Dion not touching the ball. It is the whole team not getting touches. Funny how Lebron said, "They will blame you, Dion." and everyone still is.

I don't think anybody is saying dion is the only problem, he certainly isn't helping matters.

The way I see it, we have two big problems. Yes, the team needs a better fit at two guard, and second is quite obviously an interior defender. Love really needs to be placed next to a defensive stalwart at center to get the most out of our front court.

Mike Miller is a pretty good fit at 2 guard, right? He looked great tonight. The only 2 guard that would fit this bunch is Michael Jordan because he would pry the ball from Kyrie's hands and rip him a new asshole.

At one point I think in the 2nd quarter Kyrie drove left and got stopped. Instead of dishing to a teammate he tried a spin towards the baseline and throw up a left-handed shot. That shit was probably an okay option last year, but those shots kill us now.

I just chuckled at that play. Even Mario "fucking" Chalmers who can't even set up a lob pass to save his life has better play-making instincts than Kyrie does. I said it before, it's very rare to see matured players at the age of 21. It will take a long process before he can finally see the big picture and understand that individual stats are just empty stats if you have a losing record.
