“I see it in [Kyrie Irving’s] eyes. It’s like a confidence to where it doesn’t matter about the moment. He just loves playing the game and he’s invested at that time and in that moment. You can see it at the end of the game, he made a layup and was like ‘Fourth quarter, this is my time, this is my time!’ If he gets everybody else to feeling the same way, you can feel it in his eyes when that time comes. He relishes that moment.” [Boobie Gibson via Mary Schmitt Boyer]

“We’ve known for a while now that Sessions is on the trade block but still haven’t heard much more about him. We know that the Cavs want a first round pick for him and that there are several teams interested. As the deadline approaches in just under a week (March 15th), we’ll turn to my expert speculation (if that exists) to see where I think Razor Ramon ends up on March 16th.” [Conrad Kaczmarek]
