I guess. You see the Norris Cole block on Irving though? That was great defense.
Missed it, but don't doubt it. Everybody gets D'ed up at times. I'm sure there were times where Lebron was successful on Kyrie too. Once I saw on ESPN that the Cav's game back in the game I tuned in specifically to see if Kyrie would go off again down the stretch. But the Heat did a good job of preventing that. (Admittedly I didn't see every late game possesion)
Didn't see the whole game, but several possessions down the stretch Kyrie was doubled to get the ball out of his hands, smart move.
He wasn't doubled. The Heat just usually trap guards at the top of the perimeter and rely on quick swift rotations.
Yeah, I saw several possessions where they brought Bosh up with Lebron to prevent Kyrie from driving. I guess what you're calling a "trap" I'm calling a "double", either way I don't see it as Lebron locking Kyrie down one-on-one. The one time that I saw where they didn't bring Bosh up, Kyrie went to the basket on Lebron no problem, he did miss the shot though.
