Kyrie Irving talks Playing Anthony Edwards, Luka Doncic Relationship & Dallas Mavs Win vs. Minnesota

Car three and0 on this home stand what does tonight do for this team you said what was the next question uh three no on this home stand it what is tonight a win over the timber wolv for this team oh yeah it was a good test

For us uh you know playing against the one of the hottest teams in the league uh the record speaks for itself and um um I think our Focus level was at a at a great uh point tonight and um you know we had some points of emphasis in the

Game plan that we really stuck to and the ball found who we wanted it to and we were dialed in from the beginning of the game and it feels good when you could um kind of go blow for blow with one of the best teams in the league and offensively and defensively you’re

Challenging yourself uh these are the type games you want to be a part of um in the regular season it’s not too often you get to go against uh some of the best of the best in the league and and tonight was a great test test for us

Like I said uh where we showed where we can still improve uh but also it’s a good effort tonight for us to get this win you’re also averaging around n rebounds last four games stretch four man stretch four man first time your thats yeah is that just a emphasis on

The guys out like Lively or is that how the ball is bouncing your way no I I just think uh doing whatever it takes to win and uh that that paint uh is not as clogged when we don’t have the bigs down there we’ve we’ve been um kind of a few

Minutes short over these past few games so I was just doing everything possible to put myself in a better position to rebound and and help our big guys out they do a great job of boxing out uh so we just wanted to finish the play good good possession offensive end have you

Grown any since you tweeted I hope man I hope man I measured myself yesterday I was about like 6’2 and maybe like a half so who knows what happened on the the play where um I believe you turned it over but then you yeah man right away on Ste

Yeah what do you recall from that play uh going against uh jayen McDaniels uh just a one-on-one type of of play there and he was just using his length very well um using his uh his off arm very well just trying to make me make a decision and to be 62 going

Against 69 610 and um you know some tall guys out there so just got to make some adjustments I was pissed that I turned it over so I was happy on the other side that I I got a chance to get us that possession but uh that play could have

Gone either way it could have been a determining factor in our game um but luckily uh the basketball guys were on my side and uh we were able to secure the possession then get a three out of it which uh created that separation and

Uh I think uh really gave us um a great place to be to finish the game off like last two late threes especially the one pass from DP can you take us through that play but you to skip that pass obviously yeah yeah no absolutely it was

A it was a good pass uh I had to get my feet underneath me but um you know just studying Minnesota over the past few weeks and and seeing some of their rotations and down the stretch uh some of the past games that we’ve played against them uh they’ve double Luca made

Him get off the ball so I was just trying to be in the right spot on the backside of uh that offensive possession and and found me in the right spot and and win in so uh it’s just give credit to our team and and us being prepared uh

We go over those things and practice all the time and it felt good for us to execute down the stretch for you guys defensively recently and what needs to happen to sustain this going forward the season uh I really believe is it’s about how we start off the games um when we

Start off very physical and we’re attacking guys on the offensive end it sets us up for for the rest of the game and um you look at some of the the great teams that uh play in our league they they usually like to create that separation early and then it’s about

Game management after that uh teams obviously going to make their runs but if you can manage the game well after you hit them in the mouth first two quarters and you pretty much up nine to 15 points or even seven points to 15 points you can pretty much manage it

Well if you’re playing hard still so um I think our at this point uh the mentality is to continue to push continue to put our our foot on the gas pedal and um if you’re tired ask for a sub out but at this point we want to

Keep our Pace very high uh even though our offensive numbers have gone down a little bit our defensive numbers are going up and that’s a positive uh that’s a sign of a great team that’s focused in and I think we’ve been creating good habits over these past few game so just

Want to find that consistency speaking of studying Minnesota this is the first time you actually got to face them second other than preseason cuz yeah I didn’t forget about that yeah it was no it it it felt good it felt good um you know again like I said in the

Beginning of the other questions uh going against the best of the best some of the best defenders you it’s where you get to work on all the stuff that you’ve um you know been working on in the gym and uh that’s the time to bring it out a

Few times it got blocked few times I got stripped but for the most part felt like I got where I wanted to on the court and I was successful I’m going to look at film over these next few days and and see where I can improve but if this is

One of the top teams in the in the western conference right now in the league uh you know we know we have to what we have to prepare for moving forward in order to be successful so that’s what I’m taking it as it’s just good test and just go home and watch

Film and see where I can get better how does a compare to some of better on ball Defenders you face oh he’s great he’s great he takes the challenge uh you know he first came into a league that wasn’t really something that he was um trying to get into even

Though he’ll say that you know I’ve been a defensive player in my whole career um but when we first played uh um and he first got drafted you could see that he had the intangibles he has the skill set to be one of the best on ball defenders

In our league and um you know again it’s it’s it’s a healthy challenge when you go against someone like that even as young he slides his feet he’s very physical um and he takes that challenge very personal and uh he got a few stops we look at each other we wi at each

Other a few you know possession that he had on me um and that’s what makes this league great you can have those many battles uh overall in the team scheme but um at the end of the day it’s about getting a win and and we accomplished

That tonight so a give credit to him and his team but uh you know we got this one and now we know we’re going to see him down the stretch soon kyri Kyrie it’s been almost a year since you got you’re in Dallas what have you learned about

Playing with Luca and how how have you guys grown together uh man I’m learning every day and I don’t think a year is enough uh to say you know someone very very well uh but I can say that from my observations and you know being on trips with him and

Uh us being together in the locker room and and at practice and and just little uh times where we we find Space to talk to one another as As Leaders on the team you know he’s a great player I’m a great player he’s having an unbelievable

Season so I just try to encourage him uh you know make sure I remind him that I see him you know carrying our team uh he’s been doing it uh with me out so again I respect that kid and and how he goes about his business every day uh and

Even if he’s on a bad will he still plays so you you got to really really give credit to a guy like that and he’s setting records and uh to be his teammate it’s a pleasure man it’s it’s honor it makes the game easier and I

Know he has the same things to say about me about making the game easier for one another and I feel like we’ve done that You’ actually just released your doc mini doc um players TV can you talk about that and then some of the other things you might

Have yeah no just uh other than players TV and and really building a strong team there um you know I have ownership in that Media company uh so it feels good to to have power on the media side and uh have some protection on that end and

And have some um kind of behind the scenes people uh really cheering me on really supporting me and uh giving me the opportunity to grow outside the game of basketball in the entrepreneurial Lane um you know that we have a a lot of different things to look forward to in

That space But with other endeavors that I have going on on to um looking forward to you know the future of that I don’t want to stay too much but um you know working really hard and um just released another brand called mindless and um you know that’s a elevated brand other than

Heray and I what I’ve been doing with my family and friends so just diving into different things man I appreciate you asking but I just wanted to focus on asking answering basketball questions today man I appreciate that though what your impressions of dere J the defensive

End what he bring yeah no he he covers up up for a lot of our mistakes he takes the challenge um right when that ball is tipped at the beginning of the game and uh you know having him on the perimeter as a Defender and also a cutter and also

Someone that can knock down at least one to two even three three game three threes a game uh helps out our offensive defense um to have a identity so he’s helped us create that identity this year of uh continuing to steadily improve in the defensive ranks and um just staying

Locked in on that end um you had 35 points tonight um last time you were at the podum we talked about your Rhythm um how did you feel tonight compared to like the last time no it felt great felt great uh Stark difference than how I got

Started in Utah uh just being back out there um but it just goes to show that the preparation matters on my end and uh how I approach the game night tonight uh and how I exemplify my own leadership in my own way and and continuing to spark a

Great positive energy for our guys um you know so make or Miss League you can win some games go on the streak lose some games go on the streak but just want to stay together in that Foxhole together and uh continue to feat each other positive energy that’s person that

Watches you practice I can tell that few those shots you made tonight PR thanks that’s what this game is about man yep you had a couple place tonight where you flew over the Wolves bench you lost the ball thing to an for a little bit you chased him down fouled

Him and you give that much effort why why do you give that man it sets the standard um you know if you see me diving into the crowd go after a loose ball then that should encourage everyone else to be able to do the same if that

Opportunity arises um but yeah this is just Why I get up every day and play this game at a high level is is to continue and bring some guys along with me be successful in this league takes team wins um a lot of Team camaraderie a

Lot of jelling um a lot of Harmony on the offensive and defensive end and and just being on the same court you know that’s what it’s about at this point is we have some tests in front of us some good teams that are uh on our schedule

We’re home this is time to really develop our our Niche space or or identity even more so to what our defensive ranks have uh included so just looking forward to us continue to grow and and get guys back man we got caught that injury bug a little bit again um

You know so going against the the best teams in the league you want to be healthy we haven’t been as of yet but to still get wins like this against uh teams that are going to be coming you know down the line in those playoffs it feels Good
