The Cavs are down by 11 with 4 minutes left.  Waiters and Irving have 20 shots combined with just 3 assists while Love has just 7 shot attempts.  It may take a while for them to figure it out.

In fairness, it's hard for Kyrie to get assists when his teammates are shooting a combined 35.7%.  He's made some good passes for wide open looks which have resulted in bricks.

That said, Love definitely needs to touch the ball more.  There have been way too many isolation plays.

Love looks lost out there....he is too used to being the number 1 go to man....he needs a lot of touches to get his mojo going .

I remember when I used to think Waiters was better than Bradley.

Waiters and Bradley are both mediocre at best.

I love that the NBA is tracking things like this now - in assist opportunities, passes that would be an assist if the shot was made, Kyrie is 30th in the league with 9.9 per game.  For context, that's between Eric Bledsoe and Gordon Hayward.  And #1 is of course Rondo with a whopping 21.8.  :)

I was down about the drubbing Boston took from Memphis ,  UNTIL I saw the total annihilation of the Lakers at the hands of the Mavs.

Wow lakers Give up 140 points four times this year and only TWICE in past 25 years .

Kobe 6 of 22 ...geesse ...their fans are  going crazy.

I think I'd rather have Bradley though.

I honestly don't think there's any real difference between the two as far as quality.  What Bradley has over Waiters in defense, Waiters has over Bradley in creating his own shot and being useful on offense besides shooting.

They're both non-essential guys who can easily be retained or traded.
