[ESPN] Tempers flare at Cavs' meeting

Never liked Kyrie's game. He's a SG in a point guard's body and his defense makes Harden look like a defensive stud

 

Interesting. Any link?

I don't know anything about him personally but have wondered for sometime why someone of his talent level can't get his team out of the cellar of the Eastern Conference.

 

Somehow you gotta think this is partly on McHale.

....offensively-challenged Cleveland has been an unmitigated disaster.

27th in PPG (92.5)
28th in true shooting percentage (49.2%)
29th in FG percentage (41%)
29th in offensive efficiency (92.7)

The Cavs are struggling on offense with Mike Brown as coach? Really? You must be kidding?

 

I'm waiting for the inevitable fire sale. Maybe we scope up something good.

 

So what makes him overrated... really guy is a stud

 

Mike Brown has never been a good coach. He's a mouthpiece for any front office /lakers/Cavs.

 

ESPN ranked him as the 8th best player in the league. The 2nd best PG behind Paul.

He's not that good.

 

Wrong thread.

 

Despite his scoring and handles, he plays poor defense and hasn't lifted his team up to their playoff expectations this year. Nothing unusual for a young point guard and I still think he's an excellent player.

"Overrated," however is a relative term. ESPN had him ranked above guys like Kevin Love, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Paul George, and Carmelo Anthony. I don't think he should be rated over any of them, so at this point he is "overrated" compared to how many people in the media view him at this point in his career.

 

I rate him above Michael Jordan, therefore he's probably overrated.

 

Or maybe Andrew Bynum...

 

If they sign uncle drew, they might start winning.

 

Kryie's game is fundamentally sound. Can't say that about Harden. But they both need to improve their D. And if you think Kryie is a shooting guard, I don't know what you're watching.

 

Good insight. I would say "mostly" though.

 

False and false, Harden is the worse defender between the two of them. Harden is seriously the absolute worst defender in the league, no one even comes close, and it's all because of lack of effort.

 

Kyrie is my favorite offensive player to watch in the league. Love his game. Lin is my favorite player overall though.

But someone mentioned Kyrie is a lockerroom cancer - any proof? I can see Kyrie being a bit of a dick though.

 

The Cavaliers are way too talented this year not to make the playoffs, and in the East as well.

 

Yeah, I'd definitely say Harden is worse on D. I don't know if I'd call him the worst in the league, but it is terrible.

 

You guys see this? I thought it was pretty funny
