LeBron James: A Healthy Kyrie Irving Could Win MVP
The Raptors were able to beat the Cavs in Toronto back on November 25, but playing in Cleveland at LeBron’s house is an entirely different story.
Chris Bosh had 31 points with 11 rebounds, Dwyane Wade netted 27, including a buzzer-beating layup to force overtime, and the host Heat stormed from 18 down in the third quarter to beat the Pacers for a third straight win despite a game-high 32 by Paul George.
On Wednesday night as Kyrie was coming off of his best game since his return to action, the Cavs were trying to pull away from the Wizards in the second quarter. “It was so fun to be out there”.
LeBron James isn’t sure why the Cleveland Cavaliers have dominated the Orlando Magic.
If there’s one active player who’s tormented the Wizards over the past decade-plus, it’s LeBron James – who led the Cavs past Washington in three straight First Round playoff matchups during his first go-round with the Wine and Gold. “If he continues to play the way he’s been playing, but also progress in his game over the years, he can do something that’s very special”.
“I knew she was going to be here tonight, her and Zhuri, my baby girl, are my two favorite women in the world”, James said following the win.
“We expected he would come back and it would take a little bit of time to catch the rhythm of the game and to get his game legs under him”, Cavs coach David Blatt said. “It felt like he was himself tonight”.
Cavaliers: Cleveland played its fourth game of the season with a starting lineup of James, Love, Tristan Thompson, Smith and Irving and improved to 4-0 with it. …
The Cavaliers used a 21-9 run late in the third quarter to open up some distance on the Raptors, who were led by Kyle Lowry’s 23 points. Those two combined for 47 points to lead the Raptors to a 103-99 win over the Cavaliers in the previous meeting November 25. That’s a scary sight for clubs, like the Raptors, with designs on knocking the defending Eastern champs from their perch atop the conference… and, if it keeps up, it just might be enough to put at least a little fear into the hearts of the West’s elite. Wall is carrying a big load due to the Wizards’ plethora of injuries and may finally be bending under the weight.
“They play as hard and as together as anyone in the league, except for San Antonio”, Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. “It’s a concern, but we’ve got to look at the long term with him and get him right”. James connected her with tickets to Cleveland’s game against the Washington Wizards. Mozgov was exposed in the NBA Finals against Golden State and was rendered virtually useless in the second half of the series when the Warriors made a decision to sit their own back-to-the-basket centre in Andrew Bogut to further expose Mozgov.
“Signed by Houston”, James said with a smile. “We’ll see what happens”. “From that point on, we became good friends – good friends with Devon and good friends with Leah”. Thompson, who Wittman called a “beast on the boards”, finished with just three rebounds.
