and this is why, in a game with LeBron James not playing and the coach taking Channing Frye out of lineups in a game where he is demolishing the other team from 3, Kyrie not having a high assist total doesn't matter.

also, the Cavs won that game. they usually lose those type of games, if LeBron isn't playing. that last 3 that brought the score to a 1 point game was a futile one, because Kyrie put the game out of reach.

That's the kind of game that, under normal, non-sicing situations should be a building block. you can win against a team with great players without your star player.

But people are content to turn Kyrie into the next Kobe.
