Kyrie Irving was aggressive for the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 but Tyronn Lue wants him to be quicker and not excessively dribble the ball.

"Well, we talked about it, and we want Kyrie to be aggressive, but it has to be sharp, quick attacks," said Lue. "You can't dribble for eight or nine seconds. We had that discussion, and he understands that.

"But we need him to score the basketball. We need him to be aggressive. If there's one guy that can go one-on-one on the perimeter, it is Kyrie, because he's very special. Outside, taking advantage of mismatches in the post with Kevin and LeBron, Kyrie is the one guy that we have that can break guys down off the dribble. So it's going to be a fine line, but he has to be quicker on the attack rather than letting him load up and trying to go four, five, six seconds and then they're loading up their defense and he's trying to attack. So it has to be a little faster."

Irving was asked about how he can maintain a balance between being aggressive and staying within the framework of the team.

"You kind of just have to pick and choose your spots, watch as much film," said Irving. "But at the end of the day I understand what my value is for this team in order to have an aggressive mindset and using my skills to the best of my abilities and going out there and trying to create shots for my teammates and also myself, especially if things aren't going the way we kind of want it to go.

"Sometimes you just take it upon yourself to either get a bucket in transition or a lay-up in the half court. But attacking my matchup is what has really worked thus far. I've talked to T. Lue as well as LeBron over the last few days of how to attack better in Game 2 in order to get -- in order for everyone to feel good. A few easy missed shots, the few lay-ups in the paint that I missed, which is okay, I'm fine with. But I'm going to continue to have that aggressive mindset."
