    Yeah, he is getting blown up simply from his proliferation via commercials. Kyrie barely missed the all-star team last season. I doubt his misses it again this season. Also, I think that Andy is a lock. He's playing like a top 5 big man in the league. He's going to be a shoo-in by the coaches.

    Kyrie Irving is averaging 24/6/4 on what, 47% shooting?

    Those scoring numbers could drop a decent amount and I'd still call him a lock for the All Star team.

    My issue with Irving is will he stay when his contact is up.

    When he is that talented and he has teams like the lakers, etc...to choose from, will he resign with the cavs.

    I hope he does but looking at your roster will you really be contenders in the next couple of years? You need to get a top quality free agent, maybe Josh Smith?

    Dude, you don't even have to start having that conversation til 2018. Kyrie Irving will 100% be getting the Rose Rule max which keeps him here 5 years beyond his rookie scale. Kyrie isn't going anywhere for a long time.

    When I made my preseason prediction on Kyrie's stats, no one thought it would happen, but perhaps my 25/8/5 I predicted before the season won't be so far off as people thought it would be. With the 2nd unit sucking horribly and with Kyrie slowly getting more and more minutes in addition to Kyrie's natural improvement throughout the season, Kyrie may be seeing more and more games like he did on Tuesday. At his rate of improvement, Kyrie may be a 30/10/5 guy in his prime. That's scary to think about. I mean the guy is still only 20, and he's already doing this. Look at LeBron. He's almost 28, and he's still improving. He's more efficient than ever, and his PER is also higher than ever. Still though, I'd like to see his defense improve to an elite level as well. If it does, he'll ascent from superstar status to legendary status: an NBA all-time great, a superstar amongst superstars.

    Kyrie Irving is the best PG in the East so far this season, depending on how Rose recovers he might be the best all year

    He won't get the starting PG spot in the all-star game, but it's pretty hard to argue Williams is better when you look at their head to head games

    Does anyone know if Kyrie Irving has a little brother?

    I think I was sitting in the section next to him Tuesday. Captain Cheeseburger was 4 rows in front of us and Jimmy Fallon was in our section too. The arena is super nice.

    That's a good question. I remember Jeff Phelps interviewing his sister during one of our games last year. Not sure about a brother though.

    -I'm pretty sure I sat by Donyell Marshall's kids once. I could be wrong, but how many tall, goofy looking kids are there wearing a Donyell Marshall jersey to the game.

    speaking of interesting Donyell Marshall stories, I stood next to him in line for the Millenium Force at Cedar Point one time. Had a great conversation with him, real down-to-earth fella.

    I heard that Cedar Point designed their patented "Awkard Ass" seat technology solely to accomodate Yell.
    How about a quick simile: Watching the Browns from '99-'12 is like waiting for someone to finish shitting when you've gotta go piss real bad. Now imagine waiting on a 12 year shit...

    Is that technology now named after Tristan Thompson?
    There is a tension, peculiar to basketball, between the interests of the team and the interests of the individual. The game continually tempts the people who play it to do things that are not in the interest of the group.

    Rondo is going to start along with I don't know who. Probably Wade.
    Patiently waiting for the day I can finally say "Daniel Gibson is no longer a Cavalier." It will be glorious.
