Playoff Kyrie is here, and delivering the goods. He’s playing like the Kyrie we’ve seen from a distance, when he and Lebron were dismantling eastern conference teams, on their way to numerous Finals appearances.
Kyrie has flipped the switch for the playoffs, and went to a higher gear. When he wants to take over and shoulder the scoring load, he puts on a show that only few NBA’s elite can. Bombing long range three’s, or sinking fadeaway midrange jumpers over outstretched defenders’ arms, or finishing circus layups, Playoff Kyrie is doing it all.
But it’s not the scoring, or the dimes he’s dropping that is most impactful for this team — it’s his intense drive to win that’s affecting this team the most. He’s so locked in with lazer point focus, and it’s feeding the confidence of his teammates. They see their no-nonsense leader showing the type of demeanor that the playoffs call for. It’s a whole different mentality from the regular season.
Kyrie talked about this throughout the season, the need for championship mentality. He’s proving he wasn’t just talking it — he’s now showing what it is and what it looks like.
