One thing I can say is he's making those freakish circus layups at a rate I haven seen since his his rookie year and 1st half of his 2nd season. I can already think of about 20 or more of his "wtf, how did that go in" layups and its only been 8 game
Dare I say, it was Spurs-like execution. If we can create those kinds of possessions on even a semi-regular basis, the offense will be impossible to stop... because LeBron, Kyrie and Love are going to score a good portion of the time when things break down just on sheer talent and skill alone.Quoted for the gif
That should be our offense in a nutshell, every possession, maybe perhaps the risky backdoor pass which I think we do too much of sometimes. Kyrie/Dion drives baseline and there are three options...corner three (Joe Harris in that play), opposite wing (LeBron), or big in the paint as defense collapses (AV). Then a combination of swinging the ball and attacking the defense immediately without hesitation = open buckets all night. Beautiful.
I never thought that James and Wade really maximized their offensive potential at the same time on the same court. Sure, they'd have some really nice stretches together over those four years, but where both were playing the best basketball of their respective careers at the same time in the same game?
And that was the point. LeBron and Wade always looked redundant offensively. Eventually, Wade conceded to the better player and accepted a lesser role in the offense, but they never quite figured out how to maximize both guys at the same time on the same floor.The best part is Irving fits better. That 3 ball is deadly. Is Irving better then Wade at his prime, not close yet, but as a fit next to LJ he will be better when all said and done.
