Don't test him, he'll do it. We're already short on guards or Delly would do it.I'd like to see Delly take Horford down with an Aussie hurricarana.

Thanks to Dan Gilbert, his resolve, and Lawyers.You guys know the play where Mo Williams is "nashing it" dribbling underneath the basket? That play frequently involves LeBron James cutting to the rim for a ferocious slam.
Kyrie should get that play tattooed on his left forearm, because with Irving's slashing ability, he can work that play all-day long.
You can even use LeBron cutting as a decoy, then have Kevin spotted up at the 3.
By the way, when our team is making the extra pass, it's a goddamn treat to watch. Love is actually very good at keeping the hot-potato hot.
For all the terrible luck that Cleveland has, you have to admit we skipped out on drafting Joel Embiid. We also got Kyrie Irving delivered to us by the basketball gods.
That trade with LAC will live in infamy, it's the best luck Cleveland has had since Gloria James was impregnated by an anonymous man and bore a 6-8 basketball GOD.
Getting Kyrie too..... we're pretty fucking lucky. For all the Cleveland negativity.....common now.
They only thing keeping Kyrie from being one of the truly great players ever is his body. If he can get remotely healthy for the rest of his career, his numbers are going to be insane.
I think he needs to improve his defense, specifically defending the three point line would be a priority of mine. I would actually encourage the "get buckets" motto. There is this stigma that if you are sub 6'4" that you must be this prototypical pass first guy or you get ripped for being "a shooting guard in a point guards body." Well, how many guys in the league regardless of size have Kyrie's scoring ability?Kyrie's biggest challenges are mental. "Get buckets" is not the motto of a winner.
The sooner he realize this, the sooner he closes the gap between him and Curry and perhaps eclipses him.
It will be interesting to see what he's learned from the bench watching Mo & Delly run the team and the plays he will soon be asked to run. He doesn't have to learn how to play the point for this team to succeed, but it sure would help.
