Kyrie Irving reminded us all that he still has some of the best handles in the league.
Kyrie Irving is not going to the All-Star Game and that’s a real shame. Granted, he did miss the first two months of the season but you still want a player as entertaining as him there. Besides, Tyronn Lue is going to the All-Star Game even though he wasn’t in his current position for a large chunk of the season.
Against the Boston Celtics, he reminded us all what we’ll be missing out on:
Poor Avery Bradley. He really tried his best to stop him, but he looked like he was guarding a ghost instead. Irving was able to slip right past him before nailing the mid-range jumper.
The Cavaliers are looking to bounce back after a rough loss to the Hornets two days ago. So far against the Celtics, they are in control. It’s a game that Cavs fans no doubt had circled on their calendar since it’s the Celtics’ first trip back to Cleveland since Kelly Olynyk injured Kevin Love. LeBron got them to the Finals almost by himself, but the Cavs pose the biggest threat when their big three is playing together.
Perhaps not going to the All-Star Game this year will be good for Kyrie Irving. After he couldn’t stay healthy in the playoffs last year, that will no doubt be his goal this year as he will try to help deliver his team a championship.
