Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters addressed the media together on Monday amid reports of more disharmony between the Cleveland Cavaliers' teammates.

Irving and Josh Gordon of the Cleveland Browns exchanged barbs in the media. Gordon is Waiters' neighbor.

"Honestly, off the court and on the court, we're the best of friends," said Irving. "So when we come on the court, we're just going to play basketball like we've been doing the past few games and our focus is on winning right now.''

"On behalf of [Irving], myself, I just think we've been in so much media this year, and it's not fair to either of us," said Waiters.

"I just think, man, throughout this whole year with us two not liking each other, it's total BS. We've been friends before we even made the NBA, before any of this. I just think y'all saying we don't like playing with one another …

"Yeah, we still need to learn certain things. But I think at the end of the day, we're genuinely friends. I love him as a friend, teammate, everything. I just want everybody to know that. I don't hate this guy. I'm pretty sure he don't hate me. I know he don't hate me. I hope he don't hate me. Rome wasn't built in one day. We're still young. We're still planning to stay together. We're still working. As long as we've got great communication down, it's fine.''
