Kyirie Irving has left knee tendinitis.

[Hey Yo]

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.

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.

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]

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

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

[VengefulAngel]

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

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]

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.

[Thunderfan86]

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..

Wow....I'm over here cracking up, literally laughing out loud

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.

RBA, you know what to do.

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.
