At times, it seems like the only players that have dribbled the ball more than three times consecutively for the Cavaliers this playoffs have been LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, Matthew Dellavedova, and occasionally, JR Smith if he’s feeling it. But now that Irving is out for the series with a fractured left kneecap, Cleveland’s lack of depth of guard depth just became a serious problem.
James can only do so much for the Cavaliers. Smith isn’t anything close to a point guard, and would be consumed by the Warrior defense if he handled the ball for extended periods. Suddenly, Dellavedova, the only active point guard on the team now, is looking a lot more valuable to David Blatt and James.
But apparently not to the Cavaliers bus driver.
Matthew Dellavedova told me he missed last call for the #Cavaliers bus last night & they left without him. Took an Uber back to the hotel.

I wonder if the bus would have left without James?
