How good are the Cavs...

[Brahmsian]

Nice to see someone else aware how good Rondo is at defending against players taller than himself.

Not going to knock you for standing up for your team's PG, but don't forget that Rondo has had more good scorers to pass to than Kyrie has had to date.

Irving has had greater need to be a scorer than Rondo has.

And in case you didn't already know, Rajon is now a FAR better shooter than he was in his rookie year.
He shoots when he needs to, but knows better than most that that is not a PG's primary job on a championship caliber team.

He didn't shoot bc he couldn't. They left him wide open for a reason. That being said he is a ridculous defender, passer, and rebounder. All-around better than Kyrie. But Kyrie is a future superstar, he is only 21. He is automatic at mid-range, will take him some time to get better at all facets of the game. And will learn to play with others more since he actually has skill players around him now.

Kyrie needs to show he can stay healthy over the course of any season.
Hasn't happened since his Duke days.

Hopefully he does this season.
If he doesn't, one has to wonder why? And if he ever will.
