Kyrie Irving

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Windhorst says the league was buzzing after his San Antonio performance and predicts Kyrie will make All-NBA first team with LeBron.
He's not going to make it over Harden or Curry.
 
My predictions for the guards:
First Team: Curry, Harden
Second Team: Paul, Westbrook
Third Team: Klay, Kyrie

I could see Lillard, Teague, or Wall stealing the final spot away from Kyrie. Plus it seems like the media isn't too fond of Kyrie because he's not your traditional point guard. All depends on how they finish out the year.
 
Back-to-back games shooting 60%+ from the field, 5+ threes made, and 30+ points. Only players ever to put up those numbers in back-to-back games (nobody has ever done so in three straight games):

Kyrie
Curry
Nash
Mike Miller
Paul Pierce
Carlos Delfino
Dale Ellis

If you place the restraints at 62% and 33 points, only Curry and Steph have done it. Just incredible how easy offense comes to him.

Now for the defense to pick back up and Kyrie will give us two all-NBA caliber difference makers.

He's so good, he deserves two mentions?

That's my guess too. Depending on how the season plays out, I could see Kyrie and Paul switching spots. I don't think the other guys you mention as having a shot. Middle of season, yes, but not now.

I don't know what Windy was thinking. I thought I heard him say on his Friday KNR show that Kyrie would be first team. Did he forget that Curry and Harden were in the league, and Westbrook too, for that matter?
 
You realize Curry has a better percentage at the rim than Kyrie, right?

And pretty much every NBA analyst puts Curry's handles T-1 with Kyrie's soooo.

No reason to be a homer. Curry has carried a meh team to the playoffs. Kyrie had his worst season last year trying to carry a team to the playoffs. Curry at this point is a better player.

Were you auditioning for a job at the onion with this post?
 
There's no possible way. Curry, Harden, Lebron, Davis, and Marc Gasol are pretty much all locks.

2nd team will be: Westbrook, Thompson, Butler, Pau Gasol, Cousins

3rd team: Teague, Kyrie or Paul, Duncan or Green, Aldridge, Horford

It'll be close. Wouldnt surprise me is Kyrie didn't make it.
And then this... What the hell dude. Freaking TEAGUE over Kyrie and Paul. What has Kyrie ever done to you?
 
Pretty much a lock he wins his 4th career player of the week award...good chance he wins his 1st player of the month too, as long as he doesn't fall off a cliff. 26, 5, and 3 shooting 55.2% from the floor, 55.1 from 3, and 91.3% from the line so far in March. Cavs are also 6-1 in games he has played in this month, and that's through the difficult stretch of the month.

And Lilliard is? Please, he has no chance. John Wall and the Wizards have died. No way.

We are finishing the year as the second seed, and the prohibited favorites to win it all. That's not JUST because of LeBron James either.

Did you go into a coma in 2013 and just wake up?

Can you calm down? Did I say that's what I think SHOULD happen? It's a media vote! And I said it's possible one of those guys will "steal" (note the use of the word: steal!) it away from Kyrie. Next time, make sure you know what you're reading before you make an ignorant comment.
