[@noahweber00] Luka Doncic on Kyrie Irving: “Amazing. He got us going. Without him here, we probably would have been down 20 in the halftime, so he got us going. So I had to help him in the second half a little bit, so we switched roles this time.” Doncic and Irving combined for 63 points.

  1. The way these 2 play off each other is special. I’m not sure even Nico saw this working this well

  2. Kidd deserves some praise for sating Luka in the first and letting KY keep cooking

    Why didn’t we trade for Kyrie years ago!?!?!?

  4. I love that even they recognize the kyrie second half takeover

    We’ve seen this during the last wcf run. Big game jitters for the role players and Luka couldn’t keep them in the game by himself. This time he has kyrie to steady the ship

    Down by three at halftime but you know your team and your like… oh, we winning this. No problem. I’m
    More worried if we were up

  7. It’s so amazing how Luka always calls everything amazing

    I love these guys. Play off eachother so we’ll.

    Kyrie is really a leader and he has Luka-bazooka to back him up.

  9. I wonder what’s the most points in a playoff game without a dunk or a 3pter. 30 pts has to be up there. 24 in the first half is definitely tops.

  10. We are so blessed to have Kyrie, I remember when we got him in the trade i had to call my friend because I couldn’t believe it

  11. Kyrie was called out by Ant, so Kyrie was ready go right from the start – his mind was clicking 12 hours before tipoff …

    The rest of the Mavs looked like they had taken 4 days off, shooting was cold until 2d half … Took the rest of the Mavs till then to knock off the 4 days of cobwebs/rust … So thats why I think Luka took awhile to get going, but then was able to get his game back by 2d half.

    Perfect storm caused by Ant calling out one of the all time greats … sometimes young people know plenty of things, but are not wise yet … that wisdom comes with experience. Kyrie might be older than Ant, but he aint old. Many athletes are at their peak in their early 30s.

    Kyrie cost Dorian, Spence, and a first in 29’……….larceny.
