Why Skip Bayless Thinks Kyrie Irving Is Under More Pressure Than LeBron James
All roads in the NBA lead back to LeBron James. At least it does in Skip Bayless’ mind. And heading into Wednesday’s matchup between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers, Bayless was all-in on his hot takes between James and Celtics guard Kyrie Irving. And his belief Wednesday — a somewhat tepid take by his standard — was that Irving now is under “ten-times more pressure” to succeed than LeBron is. “It was similar to what (Kevin) Durant did with (Russell) Westbrook,” Bayless said on his talk show on FS1. “Kyrie got tired of — I got this from a source very close to Kyrie and I’m going to say it again because I
Celtics Wrap: Boston Erases 17-Point Deficit To Shock Warriors 92-88
The matchup of the NBA’s future lived up to the hype. The Boston Celtics went toe-to-toe with the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics on Thursday night at TD Garden and came out on top with a 92-88 win. Boston trailed by more than 15 points on multiple occasions, but the C’s continued to battle throughout and were tied with 20.2 seconds remaining in the game. Kyrie Irving crossed up Draymond Green and drew a foul on Kevin Durant with 14 seconds to play. The C’s star hit both free throws to give Boston a two-point lead. Durant missed a jumper to tie the game on the other end, and the Celtics secured the rebound to
Nick Young Has Hilarious Shooting Mindset For First Season With Warriors
In Nick Young’s mind, he’s always in heat-check mode. The veteran shooting guard never has hesitated from pulling up, even if it’s not in the best interest of his team. Young probably won’t get as many looks as he’s used to this season, as he’ll be a part of a loaded Golden State Warriors team which features lights-out shooters like Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson. But even though Young is surrounded by superstars, don’t think he’s lost his confidence or shoot-first mentality. In an interview with Bleacher Report’s Lance Fresh, Young was asked, “Game on the line, you’re open from your favorite spot, but KD and Steph... NESN.com
Kevin Durant To Decline Player Option, Will Re-Sign With Warriors
Share this: Kevin Durant will become a free agent on July 1, but the star forward won’t be available on the open market for very long. According to ESPN’s Chris Haynes, Durant plans to decline the player option on his contract with the Golden State Warriors, only to re-sign with the team for less than max value. Durant would have been on the books for $28 million had he accepted the option, but his opting out helps out the Warriors in the long run. By KD taking less than the max, Golden State will be in a much better position to re-sign Andre Iguodala, who’s also set to hit free agency on July 1. Haynes, citing sources, believes Durant’s new deal will be similar
Cavs’ J.R. Smith Tweets (Then Deletes) Bold NBA Finals Claim After Game 3
Share this: The odds are stacked against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but J.R. Smith isn’t giving up hope. The Cavs had a Game 3 win within reach Wednesday night, but the Golden State Warriors came storming back with an 11-0 run to take a commanding 3-0 series lead in the NBA Finals. Cleveland did come back from a 3-1 series deficit in last year’s NBA Finals against the Warriors, but having to win four straight against Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson is a whole different story. However, Smith still believes the Cavs have a chance. He later deleted the tweet, but nothing can be deleted from the internet. UPDATE (12:57 a.m. ET): Smith since has claimed that the tweet was the result of
Kevin Durant Begins To Create Legacy With Fourth-Quarter Heroics In Game 3
Share this: Kevin Durant said he’d been practicing the shot for his entire life, and a lifetime of preparation paid off Wednesday night at Quicken Loans Arena. Durant went on a personal 7-0 run over the final two minutes of Game 3 of the NBA Finals to propel his Golden State Warriors to a 118-113 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron James and Kyrie Irving combined for 77 points, and James rested only two minutes the entire game. But even with James and Irving playing at an other-worldly level, Durant’s cold-blooded pull-up 3-pointer with 45 seconds left made their efforts just a footnote in NBA history. The Warriors been on a mission from the minute the buzzer sounded following their NBA Finals collapse last year, and
