Johnson: Kyrie Irving’s Confidence Has Grown Throughout Year

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  January 27, 2012
[Kyrie Irving] is a nice, young player. I obviously didn’t get to see a lot of him in college, but he’s a nice, young player. He’s shooting the ball really well; in our first game [against the Cavs], we went under his screens and he made us pay by hitting a few threes. He’ll turn the ball over, but point guards – young or veterans – all turn the ball over. He gets in...

James says Irving shows flashes of CP3

MIAMI Dont call Kyrie Irving another LeBron James just because hes also a No. 1 pick of the Cleveland Cavaliers. But if you want to call him another Chris Paul, that might be OK. In fact, James said he sees plenty of similarities between the Cavaliers rookie point guard and Paul, the Los Angeles Clippers' star point. He reminds me of CP early in his days, as well," said...

LeBron James says Kyrie Irving reminds him of Chris Paul

Via Pro Basketball Talk  |  January 25, 2012
Kyrie Irving has been impressive this season. Sure, he was the No. 1 overall pick for the Cavaliers, so you had a feeling he wasn’t going to suck, but after he spent most of his one year at Duke injured we weren’t totally sure what to expect. He’s not the explosive athlete that Derrick Rose…

Box Score: Cavaliers 85, Heat 92

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  January 24, 2012
The Cavaliers got a nice off their bench as Samardo Samuels (15), Ramon Sessions (10), Daniel Gibson (8), and Alonzo Gee (7) combined for 40 points, but Chris Bosh was just too much in the 4th quarter stretch for the Cavaliers to handle as they fell on the road to the Heat. The Cavaliers still deserve a lot of credit for coming out and playing great defense and giving good effort...

Irving: Varejao’s Toughness is Contageous

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  January 26, 2012
[Anderson Varejao] brings a toughness here and it’s contagious. It was contagious throughout the entire game, even through our bench. The bench is just as important as the starters, so it feels good to win. [...] I wasn’t really focused on my offense. I just wanted to help out my teammates. I only attempted six shots tonight and I have no problem doing that. I get my teammates...

The Cavs outrebounded the Warriors 54-43 last Tuesday Night, but it wasn’t enough to win as the Warriors outscored them 24-16 in the 4th quarter.  Antawn Jamison (19 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 blocked shot) and Kyrie Irving (18 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot) led the way for the Cavs in this game.  Semih Erden had his best game ever with the...

Video: Alonzo Gee’s Baseline Dunk on Udonis Haslem

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  January 25, 2012
Deemed the “Dunk of the Night” by NBA.com, Cavaliers swingman Alonzo Gee provides Miami Heat power forward Udonis Haslem with some punishment for being late with his help defense.  It could be argued that his dunk earlier in the game was even more highlight worthy. Also could be argued that Gee would have attempted the three-pointer from the corner just one season ago.
