Kyrie Irving scores 55 points vs Blazers! Reaction/discussion

[VengefulAngel]

Just have a feeling that he'll get close. Kyrie chucking up 3s.

[navy]

40 is more reasonable.

[VengefulAngel]

Nah i think this was quite an epic prediction.

[lilteapot]

Holy moly he is on FIRE

Kyrie is a pleasure to watch when he's on fire.

[jbryan1984]

Sure looking possible. 28 first half points. He wants that ASG reserve spot.

[lilteapot]

Kyrie is a pleasure to watch when he's on fire.
and an eyesore when he isn't. same with all gunners pretty much

[bluechox2]

50 point chuck ups

[RedBlackAttack]

and an eyesore when he isn't. same with all gunners pretty much
He is averaging 24 points on 50% FG and 52% 3PT in the last 11 games. Sounds like a guy who you should want to "gun." He deserves more appreciation for the way he is playing... on both ends.

[rhowen4]

If I could play like anyone, it'd be Kyrie. Damn, I'd be the pickup king. **** off with your NBA aspirations.

[VengefulAngel]

Needs 11 in the 4th. Playing great and keeping the Cavs in this game.

[Magic 32]

40 is more reasonable.

Yes, at the end of the 3rd.

[AnaheimLakers24]

Better than bran

[VengefulAngel]

If he gets 50, I expect a ton of rep, given how early I predicted this.

Kyrie is murdering dudes off the dribble. Wow... :roll:

He is gonna get it. Maybe more. Kobe mode.

Kobe during his 50 point stretch?

Kobe had 110 points on a back to back 60+50 on 36/65 from the field.

He did it a week before that with 25+65 against Denver and Portland on 32/58

[beastee]

This game proves it...stacked. No excuses.

[RedBlackAttack]

Are you sure you don't want to include the type of breakfast? :biggums:
I think that's a pretty broad criteria. Forget the shooting percentage... who's the last player to score 90 or more points in 24 hours? Back to backs can be pretty difficult, you know.

Wait.... he actually had 38 points last night right? So, make it 93 in 24 hours.

Kobe did 92 in 24 hours back in 06

if you say a week, then Kobe gets a bit crazy

Kyrie wrecked shop tonight... Great game... Klove looked like shit though what happened to his jumper this season

There is a direct correlation with Kyrie playing well and Dion being traded.

Word up. Honestly, I like watching Kyrie when he's on more than Westbrook. When he gets in the paint, I'm always amazed how he finishes that shit. If only Love could get his shit together :facepalm

[RedBlackAttack]

as a lebron fan I can easily say Kyrie is so much damn fun to watch. He's like Wade 10/11.
I've been saying for years that he's the most fun player in the league to watch on a nightly basis. Even when he was on some really bad rosters, he made the games worth tuning in to.

That is especially the case now that his defense is suddenly also becoming a weapon. Sky is the limit.

I'll say it again, because it is easy to forget... Kyrie is still one of the youngest starting PGs in the whole league. He's younger than Lillard, MCW and even Shabazz Napier (not a starter, but you get the point).

:lol damn didn't realize that.

But yeah aesthetically, his game is so pleasing. His crossover/handles are like AI, and his jumper is smooth as butter. He's kinda crafty like Parker with those finishes at the rim too

He knew LeBron was celebrating too early, and he shut him down.

A very professional player. The one polo man. :applause:

Grats to Kyrie also.

[KungFuJoe]

Irving is a LOT like CP3 when it comes to scoring though he bumps it up a notch. Doesn't have near the court vision though.

But damn it looked look he was playing And1 out there.

Most aesthetically pleasing player. Jumper so smooth.

[dannywpt]

It was probably a great performance, but I just can't make it through so many minutes of listening to that Cavs announcer and his annoying voice after every made basket.

[longtime lurker]

First Moe Williams, now Kyrie Irvin. What's up with Lebron's had the most help of anyone in the league.
