So I really hope the coaching staff really works hard this offseason on how to counter this. Mavs are going to have a really difficult time getting back to the finals or winning a title if they can’t help solve the Kyrie riddle. There may not be any easy answers but I would like to see a different plan next year against these type of teams.
My take on the solution to this is to develop a source of offense that isn’t initiated by high screen and roll. Against some teams, Kyrie is going to need to be an off-ball player, exclusively. I think that’s just the way it is, and I think that as he ages the list of teams against whom that is true will probably grow. But, he will always be great with the ball in transition, and he is a tremendous catch and shoot player.
