Personnaly, I would rather have Luka or Kyrie to be rested this game. Kyrie seems to like to return from injury breaks with some easy games. Maybe its good for rehab and getting adjusted. Lets see if he marked the Nets game and put up a statement against Tsai-Marks tomorrow.
As I called in Sixers game thread, Kyrie marked this game to play his best. Team fed him very early on to make sure he scores 30+.
I have no concern about Kyrie marking this game and others helping him. But if it cost Mavs two weeks off, maybe he should've played some other games instead of this. If Kyrie is going to motivate on sth, he should look to lift Mavs up. Since he came here, our record is around .500.
I don't think neither Sean Marks or Tsai is feeling sorry for kicking Kyrie's ass away. Kyrie couldn't even make the playoffs in his first year, let alone doing any playoff impact. They didn't give him to Lakers, so it was an upset for both Kyrie and Lakers.
Nets coming b2b helped us too. Without effort and energy Nets team lacks #1 option like Luka/KD etc. Simmons is not that guy.
