This Kyrie Irving Dime Attempt Was Our First Shaqtin’ Moment Of The Finals

It’s cool, Kyrie Irving. We thought you were going to shoot, too. But we’re not Tristan Thompson, so next time you should just take the jumper — he expects you too anyway, and prefers to gobble offensive rebounds to sate his need for buckets.

He was open when Andy Varejao jumped out on you, but instead it just got intercepted. It’s hard to transition from a score-first guard — remember, Tristan was in Cleveland with Kyrie before LeBron arrived — to a facilitator, which is what Irving needs to be sometimes.

Not this time, though.
