With Kyrie Irving being out of commission recently due to getting hurt filming one of those Uncle Drew commercials, Dion Waiters has had a nice stretch of games. He is showing that all he needs in order to live up to the expectations of his draft slot is the ball in his hands a ton of the time.
It also helps if there isn’t a guy playing with him whom he desperately wants to punch in the face. Matthew Dellavedova is way less punchable.
It’s not even out of the question that Cavs still make the playoffs this year, which is nothing but an indictment of how awful the East is. I don’t know why a team would want the privilege of being this year’s Bucks. Maybe LeBron will kick their butt so bad he’ll feel bad and want to come back?
