I can't understate how bad TT has been getting the ball fed to him in the lane tonight
He's an ok 1 on 1 defender. It's when he gets hit with a screen that he becomes a liability.
Kyrie just has tunnel vision on both defense on offense. He reacts to picks very very late because he so focused on the ball handler. I just don't understand why he never recovers.
I just don't understand the insistence on switching Kyrie on every pick-and-roll. He's awful at defending them and that strategy makes it even worse. Go over, under, hell even into the pick, just stop with the fucking switching. It hasn't worked his whole career, it's not going to miraculously start now.
Kyrie looks hopeless on defense
I don't get what you mean by this. Literally the only success the Cavs have had defensively this year and in this series has been when switching. Hedging hard doesn't work because Kyrie takes so long to get around the pick setter. Trapping has been a travesty all season long with the Cavs slow team foot speed.
