2. Kyrie Irving has been reliable

When the Cleveland Cavaliers gave the Golden State Warriors a run for their money last season in the NBA Finals, it was behind six incredible games from LeBron James trying to put the team on his back.

They were without Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, whom the Cavaliers felt were the difference between winning and losing an NBA Championship. While Love probably can be removed from the title of difference maker now, Irving has proven that he is indeed a huge difference maker for the Cavaliers.

If there is a reason that this series is tied up, it’s because James hasn’t had to do all the work by himself and he’s had another superstar on the floor that he can rely on each and every game.

In the three wins that the Cavaliers have had this series, Irving has been a scoring machine. He’s been making the big shots at the rim and he’s also been stellar shooting the ball.

If Cleveland is going to win Game 7, it’s going to be because Irving had a great game and helped James put up a lot of points on the board for the Cavaliers.
