Cavs can win without Kyrie.

Sounds like he's done for playoffs. If game 1 was any indication we are fucked with Delly on the court.

No excuse for the garbage play from Delly. But let's not forget this kid can shoot and do the little things that win games. I expect him and JR to step up and have an excellent game 2. We need their back breaking 3-point shooting and tenacious defense if we are going to win this series.

Irving is a great player, but Lebron can run the offense without him and win big time games. This has been proven.

Also, we have to hope Lebron can start shooting better than 20% from the 3. That's an embarrassing number.

It wouldn't surprise me at all to see Lebron go off for 60+ in Game 2.

Wtf.

@Rachel__Nichols: Matthew Dellavedova told me he missed last call for the #Cavaliers bus last night & they left without him. Took an Uber back to the hotel.

@mcten: Cavs announce Kyrie Irving has a fractured L kneecap and will have season-ending surgery.

I dunno why, but that's extremely hilarious to me.

They are saying 3-4 months. Minimum.

He will probably be ready for game 1 next year if he gets surgery now.

Weird injury, I was expecting a severe sprain, but maybe this explains the "pinch" he said he felt.

Better than a fucked up ACL.

Surgery in the next few days. Probably when they get back to Cleveland and the Clinic, would be my guess.

Dave McMenamin@mcten


3 of CLE's 5 opening night starters (Varejao, Love, Irving) suffered season-ending injuries. A 4th, Waiters, was traded. Only LeBron remains
Crazy.

Everyone else on the roster will have to account for at least sixty points assuming Lebron can continue scoring 40 and not shoot them out of the game doing so. Also, someone will have to step up on defense and keep Curry in check. Losing Irving hurts more than just on offense because he had some great defensive plays on Curry last night. Cleveland certainly could have played better last night but I think GSW could have as well.

It's too bad. With a healthy Love and Irving, Cleveland would win this series no doubt about it. Is anyone on GSW's roster hurt the least bit banged up?

So they are in the finals without their #2, #3, & #6-#8 best players.

Red right 88, the drive, the fumble, the shot. the blown save, the shoulder the kneecap FML. It's my fault...I bet on the Cavs to win it all. Go ahead and ban me for life.

Well, actually, he was given permission by the team to hang back at the stadium and spend time with his family who flew in specifically for this game.

Of course the media leaves this out.

Important: Dellavedova had Cavs approval to miss team bus. Delly w/ family visiting from Australia, esp. sister who flew back this morning
