That has EVERYTHING to do with the talent around them
If you're the PG and the best scorer on the team you're gonna take more shots, a lot more

If Lillard was on the Cavs he'd take a lot more shots too, because he would be the best scoring option there as well
Kyrie's shooting out of necessity, not out of selfishness. Nobody decided that, it's the truth. He wouldn't be shooting nearly as much if he had an Aldridge, Batum, or even Wes Matthews. The 2nd best player on the team is Alonzo Gee...c'mon

You gotta be kidding me
There's an All-star, a borderline all-star, and a few decent players on Portland. There is NONE of that in Cleveland. The 2nd best player on Cleveland is known more for defense, and he's been hurt.
