While his sample size is minuscule, the world of basketball knew his potential. In a draft that had quite a few sprinklings of stardom in the second round, Cleveland Cavaliers PG Kyrie Irving was more or less the...

CLEVELAND -- Kyrie Irving or not, too often the Cavaliers look like a team thats playing a game merely because its on the schedule.
Actually, its probably only happened five or six times, but even that is too much in a season like this.
Its definitely happened in both home losses to the Chicago Bulls, the latest a 112-91 hammer job Friday at The Q.

The Chicago Bulls came to Quicken Loans Arena on Friday night and walked away with an easy double digit victory. The big news for the Cavaliers was the absence of Kyrie Irving, who did not play due to illness. Irving was activated before the game but it was unlikely that Coach Byron Scott was going to push him much against one of the league’s best teams. With Irving down, the Cavs...

With 3.5 seconds remaining on the game clock and his team clinging to the smallest of margins, Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo found himself on the bench. With more personal fouls than points attached to his name, Rondo joined the likes of Marquis Daniels and Sasha Pavlovic — mentally hand-in-hand — to watch the final ticks unfold.
Their teammate Ray Allen would extend...
