Anyone else watching this game? Brandon Knight is playing with such control and looks pretty good against Kyrie. Kyrie Irving however looks like the exact opposite forcing everything and playing out of control.
I only managed to catch the second Q of this game; was mainly watching the Wizards (hahahaha!!!!) Irving ended up with a nice statline; the only thing that stood out about the cavs was just how bad antawn jamison was.

Yeah, Irving looked like he wanted to be A.I or Rose out there, played too fast and out of control, but like those guys was constantly attacking. Seemed more interested in that then passing.
Knight is nowhere near as talented as the Rose/Reke/Wall trio, but he showed some nice smarts for a rookie and you could see him being a saavy starter eventually, if not ever a star.
Tristan Thompson looked pretty bad and may have been a mistake at #4.

Tristan Thompson is very raw! I think he would have better served by staying in college for another year. Honestly, I was shocked when he declared. Ironicaly Irving is known for being a pass first PG, and thats been his signature throughout highschool and his short college career. So he looked a little out of charactor last night. He and Knight are both young, and talented. I think Knight playing for Calapari helped his transition to the Pro's. Calapari is very good at getting his PG's to slow down, and make the right play. Hmmm! All except maybe Wall, who even when he slowed down, still looked like he was going faster than everyone else.
Anyone watching the Twolves/Bucks game? Bonzi Wells looks pretty decent for being pretty much out of the league the past couple years. Rubio looks good, too. Leuer for the Bucks is having a good game.
