But through three games my main concern is Kyrie on defense. Mavs are getting absolutely destroyed with him on the floor. So far -17 in 16 minutes despite his solid offensive production. Feels like they are starting every single possession with a mismatch. Not sure if that is more about the coaches or him. They apparently don't want him to guard guys like Murray but against teams with size that automatically results in a mismatch and forces the Mavs to double/collapse or switch even more matchups.
Kyrie wound up on Joker a few times in the post on switches without a double team, and his eyes lit up. Can't happen.
