    Man he plays so under control. I love watching him play. You can learn a lot just watching him, well at least I did.

    Don't know why you are doubling down on this. You sound like Rush Limbaugh after his "slut" comments;) I think heypartner has already shown the lack of logic in your argument. Was it bad defense on Denver;s part? I can't really find a fault other than Nene's commitment to go for the block. Though even that is pushing it because Irving used his speed to get by him, there was no way Nene was going to keep up with him as he was stationary. Actually, I guess the greatest criticism goes against the guy who was defending Irving, he put his team at a disadvantage by playing his man too close.

    Anywayyyyyyy, it doesn't really matter so the discussion is moot. He got a great look at the end. Part luck, part skill.

    Wouldn't have happened without both. Laters

    Just wondering, are you a Rubio fan? It just seems like you have this distaste for Irving and keep coming up with something or another to critique his efforts. Luck:rolleyes: .... you can say that about almost any play that isn't a dunk. Fact is he put himself in a position to score with a high probability, don't hate.....

    Sorry but that's just bad defense. They just let him dribble all the way to the basket without stopping the ball. No rotation. No help.

    I seriously don't know where you're coming up with all of that... What the hell? Weird.

    Listen, bottom line Denver letting him get a layup with the game on the line - up 1, is inexcusable. These guys are professional basketball players. That's bad defense.

    The most efficient rookie offensively with one of the most accurate jump shots in the league.

    Goes right to the bucket in a couple of his game winners instead of settling for a jumpshot.

    What krnxsnoopy means is, kyrie irving is lucky there was only 5 defenders because a sixth defender would have blocked it. Yea that irving guy is soooo lucky. Haha

    that wuold also have easily got blocked if the hidden hermit man living in the backboard decides to come out of the ashes and migrate 10 feet to the left. If he had done that, Kyrie would have shot the ball up resulting in an airball.
