Leah Still hangs out with LeBron James as she celebrates being cancer

After Irving’s seventh game back from off-season knee surgery, a night Irving scored a season-high 32 points and hypnotized the Washington crowd in the fourth quarter, James took his praise to another level when asked about Irving’s All-Star chances. Their offense was up to the challenge, but LeBron James and company proved too much for the Washington defense this time around, and the home team fell, 121-115. David West and Manu Ginobili added 14 points apiece, with West grabbing a season-high 13 rebounds. “When I’m able to play like that and get other guys shots and be aggressive and guys are hitting shots, gosh, the game is so fun”, Irving told reporters.

Irving says he has no beef with the Wizards point using him as an example of why the NBA’s All-Star voting system is flawed. He’s much better than that.

Last night, the Cavs blasted the Toronto Raptors 122-100.

“It’s only reasonable to expect that he’s going to go through a process and still have days when he’s better and days when he’s going to have some effect of the many months that he was out”, Blatt said. “Tonight it just looked like the old Kyrie”.

Irving took over the game in Washington and scored 10 points in a row in that final quarter to put the contest out of reach.

The show Irving put on in the fourth quarter certainly caught the attention of his teammates, who see how much he’s improving in the weeks since he returned. “I don’t know if we can expect that every game, but he’s going to get there”.

The Wizards had one of their best offensive performances of the season, but their defensive letdowns proved frustrating. Unfortunately for the Wizards, the magic seemed to end as Irving would go on his 10-0 run and the Cavaliers wouldn’t look back. “Overall, not enough stops to win”.

James helped stake the Cavaliers to an 18-point lead by hitting all four of his 3-pointers less than four minutes into the third quarter.

“I respect him as a player, as a point guard in this league, and as a great player in this league”. “That wasn’t an easy game”.

Kyrie Irving trimmed his mustache and goatee, then made sure the Cavaliers didn’t have a close shave. “It’s an opportunity just to try to get back on the right path”. “It was nuts”, said J.R. Smith. “I don’t think there is any question who the real All-Star is”.

Washington would continue their awesome play into the fourth quarter, as they would tie the game at 95 on a Nene steal and Ramon Sessions fast break dunk, bringing the Verizon Center crowd to their feet. The Cleveland Cavaliers have split their last 10 road games.

“He’s getting there”, Blatt said.

Raptors: Lowry, who has three straight double-doubles, was called for a technical foul late in the game…. This is what makes the Cavs such a tough offensive team to beat, as when a possession turns ugly, they have so many bailout options- James, Smith and Irving.

Ever since returning from his injury, Irving struggled to find his rhythm over his first few games.
