Kyrie Irving goes between the legs for sweet assist to Kevin Love

Chris Bosh publicly cautioned Kevin Love a couple weeks ago that there could be frustrating moments as LeBron James' teammate. The comments by one-third of The Heatles' erstwhile Big Three came as a bit of a surprise to many. And while Bosh's words related to James, we're not sure what the nine-time NBA All-Star thinks of Kyrie Irving. But we're guessing Love is more than content with his new point guard on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

During the second quarter of the Cavs' final preseason game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night, Irving went between-the-legs to Love to finish off a fast break.  Irving finished the exhibition game with 16 points and three assists, including the pretty dime to Love. The former Minnesota Timberwolves power forward had 12 points and eight rebounds on a night that saw James sit out. Cleveland ultimately lost 96-92 to finish the preseason ledger with a 5-2 mark. First-year head coach David Blatt told The Plain Dealer, "I'm happy to say up to this point that we've done a reasonable job in the preseason, but none of that necessarily predicts what's going to happen going forward."

The Cavs open the regular season Oct. 30 when they host the New York Knicks.
