Does it feel wrong to anyone else that Vinny Del Negro has a winning record as a coach?

Going to this one. Last two I went they won. They were playing Washington and Atlanta, though.

Kyrie will be a game time decision.

This is the PD on the same subject:

Kyrie Irving is questionable for tonight's game against the L.A. Clippers and will be a game-time decision, coach Byron Scott said this morning at shootaround.

Scott said he will err on the side of caution with the Cavaliers' star point guard, and wait for him to be fully healed rather than just improved.

"Right now I'm not really willing to say, 'You feel like you can take the pain? OK, that's great. I'm going to let you play tonight,'" Scott said. "I'm just not going that way. ... I would rather wait for him to be 100 percent."

So basically there's no chance in hell Kyrie will step foot on that basketball court tonight?
