Irving is just having one of those games when everything goes in.

[KL2]

Need to put Verde on Irving smh

Parker is playing well offensively but everything has been cancelled out by Irving destroying him on d.

Irving throwing up all kinds of bull . Of course it's going in.

This. Those are all selfish type shots, but hes ing making them..

[Cry Havoc]

Irving has ONE assist. I'm fine with him taking over and stopping all the ball movement. The Cavs aren't as dangerous when they're one-dimensional.

[hater]

Kawhi is winning his battle. Right now Irving and Parker are going at it like Rocky and Apollo in the 15th round.

[SupremeGuy]

Damn, the Spurs are totally outplaying these guys. They should be up more.

If it wasn't for a bunch of fluke 3s, we would be up a lot more.

[Malik Hairston]

The Cavs don't have anybody to switch onto Parker, their only option is JR Smith, who doesn't play defense..

The Spurs have Green and Leonard to guard Irving/Lebron..just make the switch, ..

Let JR Smith ISO vs. Parker all night, Spurs will take it..

[Raven]

blocks 7-0

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Yo it put danny on kyrie and hide tony on that baller Jr smith

[NASpurs]

How many points in the paint have been in the paint lmao

yeah that made me scratch my head. It's like saying "how many 3 pointers have been 3 pointers?"

[hater]

Question

Shumpert says hi.

[Nathan89]

The shot clock was at 0.5 seconds for that jump ball. I may be wrong....but I thought they changed the rule this year to reset it to 5 seconds?

Anybody know? Does the shot clock reset or not?

They got rid of that rule this year

[james evans]

Love throws himself into 3 defenders who don't even move then es for a foul. Really, kid? And you say you're a "post-player"? That was some Westbrook type .

its the new nba. Irvin, westbrook and 90% of the players in the league has made a living out of it. es like Harden drive to the lane without even looking at the basket and just throw themselves into the defender and go to the line every time.

[Horse]

Irvings chucking can't last forever

[ElNono]

Question
where is Evita in all of this?

bathroom break

[FkLA]

Theyre wide open shoots. A guy like Irving will make most of those. Enrique is horrible at fighting through screens.

[ace3g]

Timmy going for the standing guillotine

[Raven]

Need to put Verde on Irving smh

Parker is playing well offensively but everything has been cancelled out by Irving destroying him on d.

he's been good in this half however, irving has been shooting off balance threes.. can't do against that

[Silver&Black]

They got rid of that rule this year

Okay...I remember a "rule change". Didn't remember what the rule was though.

thanks

[ElNono]

damn Tim

[loveforthegame]

Damn. Leonard set Timmy up beautifully.

[MI21]

I think Pop is probably overthinking this... thinking perhaps lets surprise them with Danny on Irving in the 4th blah blah, but sometimes the obvious is the best move. This reminds me of when Monta Ellis punks the Spurs until LDN gets switched onto him.

I don't think even think Tony is doing THAT bad of a job on him, not on the 3pters anyway...

[Malik Hairston]

Shumpert says hi.

Shumpert has been one of the worst defensive players in the NBA for the past 2 years, tbh..
