Honestly all hostility towards Kyrie and Mavs aside, this is again, basketball malpractice.
Kyrie is not some iron man. He's prone to injury and playing him that many minutes was basically asking for this guy to get hurt.
The way his knee buckled was sickening. I don't like Kyrie obviously but i didn't want that to happen to him.
this is what concerns me about OG...he's avg over 40 mins in last 3 games (yes I know one OT game) but he has always had injuries and he is such a swing factor for us. If you get the OG vs Memphis and Miami we have a chance to beat anyone.
As much as I dislike Kyrie the person (anti-semestism) you never want to see a player get hurt like that. Also Mavs fans really are being robbed here since the team pivoted, it seems like Final Destination where whoever was wearing Dallas laundry was going to be riddled with injuries.
Thibs should take note and limit his guys to like 34mpg max, drop guys like OG to 30 mpg. Won't happen. But it should.
Yeah the part about Kyrie that really burnt me is the anti Semitic stuff. You can't say you're about love and peace for all, then spread literal nazi propaganda, and then delete your apology for it as soon as you get traded. That's some disingenuous sh*t and it says to me that he has some views that probably don't need to be aired in public.
Kyrie as a person is a mixed bag. He absolutely has done some real good with his money. A lot of it is done quietly. I can attest to that. But sharing garbage about how Hitler "loved Black people", which flies in the face of history and reality, and one other instance where he shared a post from Jason Whitlock, where he (Whitlock) was blaming single Black mother's for unarmed Black men being murdered by police...nah. I let the stuff that happened with the Nets go because they don't matter to me, but I look at Kyrie sideways for that other stuff.
Kyrie is basically Aaron Rodgers without a weekly sports talk show segment. He thinks being a contrarian makes him smarter than everyone else. But one Google search about Hitler and what he did to Afro German children during the Holocaust would make him feel really dumb for spreading that horsesh*t a few years ago. If he's capable of feeling shame.
That being said, him getting hurt like that is awful and it furthers my disgust with the Mavericks. It hurt me to see that happen to him.
