I am actually a bit nervous with kyrie coming back at all injured or not. It seems as though lebron is playing better without kyrie. Seems as though whenever dellevedova comes in with lebron we suddenly streak away and the other team stops scoring. Seems to happen in a short space of time too.

In fact we are flogging people with our current line up.

Kyrie has only missed one game.

Given his third sentence, I took it to mean "LeBron is playing better when Kyrie isn't on the court with him", not "LeBron is playing better when Kyrie sits out the entire game".
 
A healthy Kyrie alleviates LBJ of the entire offensive burden. Kyrie is a natural gifted scorer who can and will create his own shot.
I disagree with any assessment that LBJ is better with KI out.
The Cavs are playing a team with no superstars that cannot assert offensive pressure on them. I doubt that will be the case against a healthy rested Golden State team.
This is also why I'd sit KI. LBJ can win ugly against Atlanta. Let him do it and get KI as close to 100% as they can for the finals.
On a side note, how freaking stoked are you all to think the Cavs are finals?!?!? WOW
 
Windhorst on SportsCenter this morning said that the vibe he is getting from the Cavs is that Irving will give it a go tonight.

Not sure if I agree with it, but, hopefully it means that Kyrie is feeling better and will be ready to contribute.
 
The one thing that the reports are saying or at least one report I saw was that the foot has heeled and the knee is the only problem. I think thats why he went to Dr. Andrews so that he could switch treatment up and give him some type of sleeve/brace to stabilize Kyrie knee for reinforcement so that Kyrie is comfortable out there playing on it. The whole time they were talking about his knee tendinitis i was wondering why he wasn't playing with a sleeve or brace on it. I would like for him to rest some more but honestly he rested for 6 days and still tweaked it in game one. Hopefully the treatment switch up and rehab will give him better results.

This is supported by the fact that he wants to play. If that foot was shit, then I doubt the cavs let him play tonight.

They probably feared both of his legs would be stiff and something else would happen. My guess is they wanted to gamble on the tendinitis rather than the foot. That tells me his tendinitis is most likely very mild and that it truly is about Kyrie's pain tolerance. Coach and LeBron have also commented suggesting they believe Kyrie's biggest obstacle right now is him trusting his body first and tendinitis second.

Wow, that's quite an impressive stretch you've got there. If you tried any harder your arms would rip out of their sockets.
 
This thread has taken crazy turns in the playoffs. At one point some thought Kyrie was our playoff MVP and were talking about his chances of winning finals MVP. Now some don't even want him to play in the finals even if he's healthy because it might somehow be disruptive.

Did it not register with anyone last game the potential serious problem we had when Delly picked up his 2nd foul in the first quarter?
