I haven’t cared about Kyrie since his rookie season. I’m over here man crushing on him and Luka right now. Just exceptional basketball.

Point out the ones that weren't fouls? Your team is a fouling machine.

Kyrie's 2nd quarter and 4quarter+OT is just poetry.

Absolutely unreal talent.

If everything goes well we’ll get clippers vs Mavs in round 1. It will be the best series with Mavs winning in 7. Then we’ll get Denver vs Mavs in round 2.

The game was lost on missed free throws. Where does the low IQ come into play?

Should've fouled the Mavs after the missed free throws send them to the line up 3.

And we should get Green back soon and Lively by the playoffs (hopefully). Dangerous team.

If I'm Mavs I'm tanking after they clinch top 6. Not only is 6 better but Luka is all beat up.

Honestly I see a relatively easy série win for Mavs in 5 or max 6 games if that série happens.
A not particularly worse Clippers team than now had already big trouble to eliminate FAR weaker Mavs teams than the current one so I just can't see how they can eliminate that Mavs team.

He's been out 4 games with a sprain knee, he was on crutches but I think I saw him on the sideline without them a minute ago.

Is KAT coming back for Minnesota? I’m wondering because if they fall to the 3 seed and they have KAT it won’t be easy. The Thunder are beatable for sure.

Mavs legitimately have a chance to make some noise. Kyrie is a threat to go off for 50 on any given night. They don't have that 3rd star like some teams do, but they are loaded with high quality role players.
