Irving makes Phoenix feel the heat

I have been called into work early for tonight and tomorrow,so this will be a shorter version than usual for the Cavaliers 101-90 over the Phoenix Suns in Phoenix,

I think I am going to tape tonight's game against the Lakers,so coverage of that could be tomorrow,Sunday or even combined with Monday afternoon's game against Charlotte.

Kyrie Irving scored 26 points and Antawn Jamison added 23 to move the Cleveland record to 5-5 on the season.
Cleveland is in Los Angeles tonight against the Lakers.

Swashbucklings

1) I did not see the loss in Utah,but Kyrie Irving was thinking shoot (11 of 17 from the floor) just as much as pass in the win and that is what might make Irving eventually shine above other point guards in his age bracket.
Irving's offensive game and jumper seem to be more reliable than that of say Washington's John Wall and that along puts him above many.

2) Irving more than held his own against the old standard Steve Nash.
Nash had a a nice game as well with 16 points and 15 assists,but Irving showed poise in not falling for too many of the veteran's tricks.

3) 17 rebounds with seven off the offensive glass for Anderson Varajao in a strong performance.
Varajao's career high in boards is 18,so that shows the type of evening that he had.
Phoenix did not really have the type of physical big man that will give Varajao issues and he was able to take advantage of the favorable matchup.

4) The inconsistency from three point land continued as the Cavaliers hit 10 of 19 from beyond the arc.
I think that fact will be the difference in wins and losses for the teams this season or at least,it has been that way thus far...

5) Fun stat of the night-Semih Erden fouled out of the game without a point.
Well,that happens to young big men on a rare occasion,but the real rarity is that Erden did so without attempting a shot.
Six fouls,no points and no shots is an unusual stat line....
