Also:

Kyrie says he was going to sit now, he should have sat 3-4 games ago. Think's he hurt his knee compensating foot- Ethan J Skolnick.

Kyrie says he can't look at himself in the mirror if he sits, ' I can still be effective even if i'm at 30/40 percent.

Lebron is getting round the clock treatment for ankle also, but will play g5.

[inclinerator]

he will play

[VengefulAngel]

he will play

Yeh, not even that serious, although can be quite painful.

[Solefade]

also right foot strain

[VengefulAngel]

also right foot strain

Correct.

[NBASTATMAN]

If Kyrie doesn't get better than Lebron has to stop doing a Kobe impersonation and shoot over 40 percent..... Cuz without Kyrie at 100 percent they gonna scuk

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

No excuses, massive favorites to win series like 09 Cavs/Magic

[pegasus]

He seems fine when he dances around with the ball in his hands, but the second he passes the ball he starts to limp.

[G0ATbe]

No excuses. Jr Swish/Iman Shumpert/Tristan Rodman/ Eastern Conference

Kobe had a worse team 2009 and 2010 yet won it all consecutive years easily in a superior conference. Hope Kyrie sits for the rest of the playoffs.

[Eric Cartman]

Cavaliers are a shitty team, disgusts me just talking about them, makes me want to kill myself, but I'll give it a shot.

Lebron is the only shred of hope of them being decent, and he has played like absolute trash, badly broken jumpshot and looks severely shook. The team relies on J.R. Smith in crunch time, he'll go in a awful cold spell very very soon, Kyrie shouldn't even be playing, looks like a cripple out there.

If they make it to the finals, it will be 2007 all over for them.

Didn't they go 6-2 without Kobe and Bynum in 2010... DUMBASS :rockon:

[IncarceratedBob]

this is such a bad look for Kevin Love. Kyrie is playing with a more painful injury

[KiiiiNG]

i just got off the phone with my uncle who says hes having extreme pain in his knees and he suspected knee tendinitis

props to irving for toughing through what sounds like a pretty painful injury

maybe risking his long term health for short term glory

[Cocaine80s]

Nikka Kevin had ****ing shoulder surgery

You expect him to be playing right now? :lol

[VengefulAngel]

These Cav's are tough, i'm pretty sure they are all banged up to some degree.

[KiiiiNG]

These Cav's are though, i'm pretty sure they are all banged up to some degree.
at this point you can say that about every team left

paul playing with a bad hamstring
wall desperately trying to get back on the court with a broken hand
conley playing with a broken face
harden playing without ft's

playoffs are srs business brah..

[HylianNightmare]

Hopefully the Cavs lose

[HurricaneKid]

I bet 1/3 of the league has knee tendinitis.

He needs to rest because he cannot move and Chicago is starting to attack him defensively and force him to drive. He just isn't well enough to contribute and needs to get the nec rest to get him back to his normal game.

Can you read? He basically has a strain foot and him gutting it out these past two games led to his knee getting injured compensating for his foot. He is basically playing on one leg.

[dreamwarrior]

Can't he get a cortisone shot? He needs to play just like CP3. At least go up 3-2 and then you can take a week off.

Poor thing :(

[poido123]

I have left knee tendonitis all the time.


You can play through that shit and it effects you, but not as much as it is Kyrie.


He might have something a little more serious, but in fear of Bulls bumping it around, he's going to conceal it with "knee tendonitis".

That's my guess.

[Lensanity]

He should sit out. This isn't the Finals and he is playing like shit. It isn't like he's helping his team right now or anything. Why not sit out this series, hope they make the ECF (Kyrie won't help anyway) and then come back healthier so he can actually make a positive impact? And maybe he could even wait until the Finals since their ECF opponent won't be that great compared to who they play in the Finals.

There is absolutely no chance in hell of the Cavs beating the Grizzlies/Clippers/Warriors in a 7 game series with Kyrie playing like this. LeBron would have to have the greatest series in NBA Finals history to win without Love or Kyrie.

If Kyrie plays this series and the next series then he will be absolutely horrible in the Finals.

[Hey Yo]

These Cav's are tough, i'm pretty sure they are all banged up to some degree.
Yet according to you, LeBron is the sole reason the Cavs lost games 1 and 3

:oldlol:

Even if the team (minus Love) was 100% healthy, they would have no chance to win the title. No East team has a chance this year.

[bdreason]

He seems a bit young to be dealing with tendinitis?

[VengefulAngel]

He seems a bit young to be dealing with tendinitis?

As a result of playing with a foot sprain.

[TheMan]

Lol, get outta here, try playing hoops with one arm. :oldlol:

[VengefulAngel]

I bet he could still shoot better than LBJ has.

[WallIn]

Wtf is up with injuries to guards this postseason?

[AirFederer]

Why reveal it?
Shut up and play. Go hard in da muttafggn paint.

[Papaya Petee]

:roll: Missing Wade and Bosh yet? Bron Bron?
Wade had knee issues far worse than Kyrie while being older and was still better than Irving, especially the way Kyrie's been playing this series.

[Magic 32]

This is great news.

But I still can't forgive the NBA letting Lebron have JR Smith in this series.

You knock someone out and yet get to be this year's Ray Allen.

Disgraceful.

[1~Gibson~1]

Kyrie should rest. I hope Blatt doesnt play Mike ****ing Miller. Give Joe Harris some PT. He's young and has fresh legs. Bron and Delly would have to split time at PG.

Delly and JR have stepped up in huge moments during this series.

If it weren't for some timely solid play from the role-players, this series could of been a lot different.


When I'm watching the games, I'm like " Delly is killing us? Really?" then it becomes "F.ck you JR, making all these Ray Allen like shots FFS"


Thompson's offensive rebounding, Delly knocking down important shots, JR doing the same, that's what's keeping the Cavs going. LeBron hasn't been that good, it's been the guys he's distributed the ball to.

[Optimus Prime]

Lebron is the only shred of hope of them being decent, and he has played like absolute trash, badly broken jumpshot and looks severely shook. The team relies on constant ref bailouts and J.R. Smith in crunch time, he'll go in a awful cold spell very very soon, Kyrie shouldn't even be playing, looks like a cripple out there.

If they make it to the finals, it will be 2007 all over for them.

Fixed.

Also, Kyrie being alpha is really hurting them right now, because he looks like he can barely play.

[Cocaine80s]

Delly stepping up is the reason i think he should start, and let Kyrie sit for a few games to get healthy. Kyrie is not helping at all anyway.

With the ball in James hands so much im suprised Chicago isnt using Snell more often. He's underrated but i think he and Jimmy Butler are the most effective defenders against James in this series. Using Snell to guard James would also save Jimmy Butler A LOT of energy. Energy that could be used to create more offense. Not sure what Tibs is thinking.

[poido123]

RBA, you know what to do.


You troll just as hard and I've seen you post some pretty distasteful stuff on Rose.


Pot meets kettle

[Lensanity]

Look at how terrible Kyrie has been for the past several games. Now imagine how bad he will be if this series goes 7 and the ECF goes 7. They would literally be 10 times better off by putting Marion at PG in the Finals than Kyrie at that point.

[Blue&Orange]

Anyone remembers Mike Miller career ending injury? Excuses, excuses and more excuses. If excuses were jumpers Lebron would be the best mid range shooter in the history of the NBA.


Does half the Bulls team have injuries? They look terrible also, i mean shooting 30% as team for the series, something must be going on. Pink eye maybe.

I don't know how a professional basketball player can miss as many shots Noah has under the basket as he has.

Same goes with Gibson.

You could make an excuse if we were throwing up record number of 3s, but we aren't.

Injuries should not prevent you from performing a simple layup IMO

[bobeticus]

yeah even they're amputated still NO EXCUSES :rockon:

i just dont think we can afford to have kyrie sit out. sure his shot has sucked but he is still and threat and can still get to the line and hit all his free throws. delly maybe if we had a better option then delly, but i just dont think he is reliable as the starting pg during this series. maybe again washington if the are without wall, but not against this team.

[RedBlackAttack]

He seems fine when he dances around with the ball in his hands, but the second he passes the ball he starts to limp.
You can't be serious. Kyrie has one of the most explosive first steps in the league. He can barely get around a pick right now. He also has zero lift on his jumper... a jumpshot that is normally deadly.

I doubt he is even at 60% atm. I give him credit for gutting it out, though I do fear it could result in longterm problems.

He doesn't look fine when he is "dancing around." He looks hurt. Constantly.

Most of those misses were by lebron and Kyrie injured Irving. I just think he's in over his head if he's trying to battle against Derrick rose will injured smh.

Had Kyrie been out, i believe the team could have shot better overall. Delly is also playing better defense against Derrick Rose.

I will say this though. Kyrie has given us a 30 point game, and 20 point game at home. But on the road, he's been terrible, 5-23 23points and only 3 assists i believe.

[Dresta]

And yet Wade still gets shit from Bron stans for actually coming through on bad knees in 12 and 13.

We'll see if Kyrie can do something like Wade's destruction of Indiana in 12, or his series saving game 4 performance in 2013 finals - somehow i doubt it...

Well, he injured the foot in Game 3 vs. Boston and still managed to play very well in the close-out game of that series and the first two games against the Bulls. Easy to forget he had 30 in that opening game against Chicago and LeBron had one of his worst playoff performances ever.

TBH, I was more afraid of the damage Irving would do to us than Lebron early in this series.
