2. Kyrie Struggles Scoring

The third member of the Cavaliers’ Big Three is point guard Kyrie Irving. There is no doubting the offensive talent that Irving has, but at times it seems to rub his teammates the wrong way. There have been a number of rumors about Irving not meshing well with James, as his ball stopping tendencies and lack of assists despite being the point guard are tough to stomach sometimes.

Saturday against the Heat Irving will drive some teammates batty once again, as he will try to get going to no success. Irving has been playing some strong basketball recently, averaging 23.4 points per game in his last five games. But against the Heat, he will fall well short of that average.

Against the Heat tonight Irving will struggle to knock down shots and score under 10 points. The Heat are one of the better defensive teams in the NBA, and Irving will find that out first hand. Unlike the other member of the Cavaliers’ Big Three, Irving will come up short Saturday night, which brings us to the last bold prediction of the night.
