Re: Why are the Kyrie and Luka Doncic duo ain't working?
[QUOTE=FultzNationRISE;14890579]Maybe. I like their chances more than the book odds, altho how far they can go is gonna depend a lot on when they meet Denver. It’s looking more and more like nobody is beating a healthy Nuggets in a series.[/QUOTE]
Man they can't hang with Denver at all.
Re: Why are the Kyrie and Luka Doncic duo ain't working?
Kyrie and Luka work great together... when they are healthy. Health and Kidd's terribad rotations have been the two biggest issues for them.
The way I see it, if Luka, Kyrie, Gafford, and Lively are healthy the Mavs will be an incredibly dangerous team in the playoffs. Both Luka and Kyrie need to be firing on all cylinders and Lively/Gafford would have to be able to combine for 35+ min a night. Even then, to overcome Kidd's stubbornness w/his rotations two out of Kleber, Hardaway, and Washington must get back to shooting their career averages each night. If that happens this team could be poised for a legit run. Any issues w/health or K/H/W all remaining in slumps and I doubt Kidd will be able to adjust enough to overcome.
Re: Why are the Kyrie and Luka Doncic duo ain't working?
excited to see who nico can get for kleber/hardaway who make 30mil combined. I didnt like him giving up a 1st for pj but his defense has been great and they still have 2 1sts to trade in offseason. should be looking for a starting sf imo. Jerami grant seems like an obvious choice. Could go for someone like cam johnson too

Ramadan Kyrie is something else.

Re: Why are the Kyrie and Luka Doncic duo ain't working?
You can shout that but seem pretty quiet about the rest of the series. Shout out the whole sweep.

Yea I mean Durant blew it...
Yall got borderline swept the previous year when the Nets had Harden.

Irving was on the team as well and he had bad games as well. Acting like he had nothing to do with it is stupid, he's lost something like ten straight games vs. Boston. Never should have stomped on Lucky. The end.
Re: Why are the Kyrie and Luka Doncic duo ain't working?
Who the **** is Lucky?
:roll:
That sounds like a grudge you holding.

I am referring to his stupid antics stepping on the logo at center Court and burning sage. I have never denied the grudge, Celtic fans generally don't like Irving. But you consistently ignore the games Irving had played badly. We've already been through this, in spite of game 1 he ended up averaging 21 points and shooting under 43%. He struggled.
Re: Why are the Kyrie and Luka Doncic duo ain't working?
[QUOTE=FultzNationRISE;14889489]Louie it's not a perfect roster but I think some of it is just a bad luck. They lost to the Cleveland Cavalier on a last seconds buzzer beater by Max Strus. In their four point lose to the Sixers they shoot 8 less free throws than Philly, if that was reverse they might win. [B]If those games go the other way they will be something like 10-2 in their last 12 so I will not write them off yet[/B].[/QUOTE]
I’m glad I did not write off this duo. They are playing great basketball for the Dallas Mavericks. They will play Boston in the finals.
