CLEVELAND - Kyrie Irving managed to find a silver lining — and a sliver of hope for the Cavaliers playoff chances — while dealing with his latest injury.

Allen Raiders Jersey . The All-Star point guard will miss at least two
weeks with a strained biceps tendon, but hes hopeful his season is not over.
Irving said following shootaround Tuesday at the Cleveland Clinic Courts, "If
you could take a positive from the situation, obviously that would be one, that
at this point, I dont have to get surgery, which is tremendous." Clevelands
leading scorer got hurt Sunday night in a loss against the Los Angeles Clippers.
An MRI taken Monday revealed the string, but not a tear, which would have ended
Irvings season. Its still not a certainty hell be back, but the Cavs will rest
him for two weeks before making any decisions.

those worries a nonfactor, at least for a day. McGowan pitched three-hit ball
for seven innings, Colby Rasmus hit a grand slam and Melky Cabrera added a
two-run homer as the Blue Jays beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-2.TEMPE, Ariz. -
Arizona coach Bruce Arians cut quarterback Ryan Lindley at the end of the
preseason. Now hes put the offence in Lindleys hands in the biggest game of the
Cardinals season.The third-year quarterback, who made four unimpressive starts
as a rookie, will be thrown into the teeth of the fierce Seattle defence Sunday
night.Its a tough spot for someone who never took a snap as Arizonas No. 3
quarterback last year, then was released in favour of rookie Logan Thomas at the
end of this preseason.When Carson Palmer went down with a season-ending knee
injury, the Cardinals signed Lindley off the San Diego practice squad. And when
Palmers replacement, Drew Stanton, sprained his right knee Thursday night in St.
Louis, Arians turned to Lindley rather than Thomas to finish the game.He was
calm as a cucumber out there, Arians said before Wednesdays practice.The stakes
on Sunday night are high.Arizona (11-3) is the only NFC team to have clinched a
spot in the playoffs. A victory over the Seahawks (10-4) would ensure the NFCs
No. 1 seed, guaranteeing that the Cardinals would play at home throughout the
playoffs, including the Super Bowl, since its being played in Arizona.A Seattle
victory would give the reigning Super Bowl champs a tie for first in the NFC
West, and they would have the tiebreaker by virtue of two wins over the
Cardinals. Arizona probably would be relegated to a wild card berth and a road
game in the first round.Largely because the Cardinals are down to a
third-string, maybe fourth-string, quarterback, oddsmakers have made Seattle an
eight-point favourite on the road.I think its all about money in Vegas, Lindley
said. Theyre just dealing with facts. They arent worrying about the people and
the intangibles.Arizona drafted Lindley in the sixth round out of San Diego
State in 2012. With the Cardinals season circling the drain, then-coach Ken
Whisenhunt made the rookie the starter with the team in the midst of losing 11
of its last 12 games.The results werent good. Lindley completed 52 per cent of
his passes for 752 yards and zero touchdowns. He was intercepted seven times.
His 181 passes attempted — including 10 last week — are the most in NFL histoory
without a touchdown.

Plunkett Jersey. But this is a far better team than the one two years ago,
and Lindley insists hes a different quarterback.Its night and day, he said. The
amount Ive learned and not only grown as a person in two years, but from these
guys — B.A. (Arians), from Carson, from Drew. Im a totally different person and
totally different player from that point.He said the biggest difference between
now and then is knowing whats coming.Obviously the first time out there before,
its new, and you dont know exactly whats going to happen, Lindley said. But now,
through experience, through seeing how these guys Drew and Carson prepare, how
Philip (Rivers) prepares out in San Diego, I just feel a lot more ready at this
point.Lindley said its 50-50 as to whether his playing time in 2012 did more
harm than good.The biggest thing is if you dont let it affect your confidence
too much, he said, anythings a learning experience.He said he got through it
with the support of his family and his faith.Its just trusting in whatever the
plan will be, Lindley said. Just waiting for this opportunity. I feel extremely
blessed and excited that its here.Arians dismisses the term game manager. He
said the Cardinals wont scale back their style just because of the quarterback.
He has, however, tailored a game plan to Lindleys skills.There are some things
in the offence he likes to throw, Arians said. Each guys got two or three things
that they like a little bit more than the others.Asked where Lindley concerns
him, Arians responded, He really doesnt.Hes a meticulous preparation guy, the
coach said. The dynamics between us — Ive bounced things off him. I trust him as
far as his mental makeup to the game.To keep the Seahawks guessing, Arians has
developed a package for Thomas and says he might use both quarterbacks.But its
Lindley at centre stage, with the support of a coach whose former pupils include
Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck and Ben Roethlisberger.Its tough to find at this
level, a guy that you want to pour it onto the field for, Lindley said, and B.A.
gets his guys to play their best for him.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.orgm
