Wow. Well how about that ride in? In a game where LeBron was out, LaMarcus Aldridge was en fuego, and the rest of the players on the Cavaliers couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn, Kyrie Irving showed up in a big big big way. Career high w/55 points. Cavs record for 3 pointers in a game. All of this capped off by a DAGGER 3 pointer over Nicholas Batum to win the game. Just an unreal performance from Uncle Drew. He also started the game off 0-7 which makes this performance even more unbelievable.

So the Cavs sit at 27-20 and are winners of 8 in a row. All of the BS talk of firing David Blatt has subsided and the team finally looks like they’re starting to gel. All of this comes at the heels of the subtraction of Dion Waiters and the additions of Timofey Mozgov, JR Smith, and Iman Shumpert… whom I’m officially nicknaming the “Holy Trinity.”

I’ve maintained my stance that I don’t care how the team looks in December/January/February, I only care that they start to hit their stride in March/April/May. If LeBron wants to sit out a couple more games, then so be it. Sit out all you want, bro. As they showed last night, this team is good enough to win without LeBron.

Let’s look at some game tape

1st thing- The guy from the Mentor Nissan commercial looks EXACTLY like Joey Fatone from NSYNC
