The Cleveland Cavaliers have been showing a pretty good improvement recently, with a much more aggressive defense that really seems to get the job done – and a large part of that success has been attributed to Kyrie Irving and his own personal progress. Looking at the way he plays, it’s quite obvious that he’s been putting effort into stepping up his game, and so far, this has been giving him and his team obvious benefits.
Recently, the team’s coach, Davit Blatt, said in an interview that they have some very specific goals that they’re chasing after, and they’re focusing on what’s right in front of them at the moment in order to achieve those goals. The team has to remain competitive on a daily basis, and they’re aiming to win as many games as they can at the moment. He went on to add that while they may not have too much control over the development of the season as a whole, they can still do a lot to make sure that their own performance is top notch.
On January 27, the team scored a victory in Detroit with 103-95, marking their fourth successful match out of five – and that win was in large part due to the performance of Irving and James, according to many commenters. Irving himself scored 38 points, along with James who registered 32, and Irving managed to hit six 3-pointers during the match.
Right now, The Pistons are putting a lot of effort into trying to avoid a fourth home loss in a row to Cleveland for the first time ever in the history of the series, something that has been getting a considerable amount of attention around online discussion boards. For a good reason, too – it’s a game-changing moment for fans on both sides.
All that Irving has to do now is to keep working on his own performance in the same way he apparently has been doing so far. It’s showing obvious results, and it’s reflecting on the success of the Cavaliers as a whole, and the team would probably benefit from integrating the playing style of Irving into their own strategy on an even deeper level. They are cooperating quite well so far, but in the end, communication is crucial and improving it a little more could never hurt.
We’ve got some interesting matches coming up, that’s for sure – and those who have been actively following the progress of Kyrie Irving will probably have their attention rewarded in the coming weeks/months. Combined with other recent developments in the field, it’s pretty clear that fans of the game are not going to be bored anytime soon.
