That meant there was a significant offensive strategy dedicated to getting the ball to AD where he would be scoring 2 points or scoring no points at all, and with fewer shots from the perimeter for everyone else. Perhaps if Kyrie were in the lineup that strategy would be better balanced. But as it is, I don't think an AD centric offense works for the team.
I'm not fond of AD centric offense, but I think this team has a (much) better winning percentage when AD plays. That is probably mostly due to his defense as his offensive numbers are significantly down from years past.
