Kyrie Irving has accepted the fact that he almost certainly won't be 100 percent for The NBA Finals.

"I'm just asked all the time whether it be the regular person walking around in Cleveland or someone here in San Francisco. I'm walking down the street and they ask me how's my knee doing," Irving said. "I'm like, 'I'm fine. Thank you. My knee is OK.' It's like 'Are you playing Game 1?' I'm like, 'Yeah, I'll be playing.' It's an adjustment, but it's what it is at this point. But I'm just going to go out there and will myself to play."

Irving is dealing with tendinitis in his left knee and a strained right foot. The knee has been a more problematic issue for Irving.

"Preparation wise, and game wise, playing, not playing, number of minutes, ability to perform at the level he normally does, and most importantly for him to be able to function without furthering injury, those are things that are constantly under consideration, and constantly on our minds as a staff and as a team. It's made it difficult." David Blatt said.

Said LeBron James: "Whatever he can give us, it's going to be great for our team. Kyrie at 50%, Kyrie at 60%, Kyrie at 70% is better than Kyrie at zero. His presence on the floor. When that No. 2 Irving steps onto the court, he's a presence. And the defense has to be aware of him, has to account for him just because of his abilities to make plays."
