Watch: Kyrie suggests Cavs would sweep Bucks in playoffs
Kyrie Irving is confident in his team.
Following two hard-fought wins over the Milwaukee Bucks, the Cleveland Cavaliers star gave credit to the young and talented opponent, which took a game from Cleveland last month.
"They're a great young team," Irving told reporters.

That's where the compliments stopped, though, as the 24-year-old hinted the defending champions would make easy work of Milwaukee in the postseason, should they meet.
Irving said he hopes that matchup happens, adding: "It'd be great to go four games against them."
Sure, the Cavs have made The Finals both years since LeBron James' return, and swept four-of-eight series over that span.
But to declare that so matter-of-factly? No chill.
