Big Cavs fan here. Feel terrible that Kyrie is out, even though I'll be honest, I root against him since he asked to leave my team.
Instead of beating the Celtics 4-1 in the second round with Kyrie, looks like we will sweep the Celtics now, get Lebron all the rest he needs.

He asked to get out because you have the absolute biggest drama queen in the history of sports as your leader.

Really tough year for the Celtics. They were SERIOUS threats to make the finals but Between Heyward and now Kyrie, not meant to be.

Kyrie's injury streak continues. Tough.

How are you going to sweep the Celtics in the second round when you're playing the Raptors?

Well let's see, the Raptors are gonna be the 1 seed. The Cavs are currently the 3 (could be the 4, it's close with Philly, Cavs and Philly play head to head Friday and the winner will probably be the 3) Cavs should win that game, and they will be the 3.
Basic bracket interpretation tells me that a 3 seed won't see a 1 seed until the conference finals.

Was mostly joking that Philly is going to win that game on Friday. At that point, Cleveland is the 4 seed and gets the Raptors instead of the Celtics.

Yea it's a huge game. And Philly has won 12 in a row, but with no Embiid, I like the Cavs in that game. Lebron is already in playoff mode.

With Kyrie now out, that difference between the 3 and 4 seed is massive.

Hah! Thought I would share this here, as I shared on the national board...

So, I play a lot of NBA 2k18 on the One. I've got a regular crew of about ten guys I play with (including @JimboBBN... whassup, sweetie?). One of them is a 96, which is really high ranking, and which brings with it the ability to pull anyone lower than you off the waiting spot for a game and get yourself in.

So, three nights ago, three of the guys wander onto a Park, and who is playing? Kyrie Irving, some low rated guy (turns out it was Kyrie's brother?) and apparently Kevin Durant. They had the big NBA logo by their name, and there were like 50 people following them around the courts.

Kyrie, Durant, and other guy get on a court to play, and my 96 buddy thinks "Well hell; I want to play with Kyrie" and so goes over to pull the lower rated guy off the court and get on.

Except that the game makers didn't plan for this, and Kyrie apparently doesn't have an actual rating, just an "NBA" rating, which is apparently very low when it figures who can pull whom off the court:)

So my buddy pulls Kyrie off and plays with KD and Kyrie's brother:) They didn't pass him the ball for the first few minutes:)

Anyway... random off-season story:)

Am I the only one that has no idea what this means?
