    Luka, yes. Kyrie? Other than saying he should retire, no. SAS has made some dumb takes. But his issue with KAI was never about who he was off the court. SAS always had issue with how KAI kept finding reasons not to play given his talent level.

    To be fair, Kyrie and Luka deserve the criticisms they have gotten over the years. Kyrie has been a below average teammate and Luka has just flat out not even tried on the defensive end at times. They can prove everyone wrong if they win a title, but that is still a long way to go.

    I mean he’s not top 8 but the people who are top 8 probably don’t have the charisma and character to carry the league . I mean I like jokic but he don’t even care about basketball fr . Ant kinda draws fans to him just off what he does off the court . That means a lot when determining face of the league

    When SA predicted a Timberwolves win before the game, I knew that Dallas would win this game. The lesson here is to listen to loozer and do the opposite.

    I think this is what kyrie was saying on that podcast where he said he and bron coulda won more chips but he wasn’t at a place maturity and mentality wise I think his slight decline was him not realizing how great he truly was and now he’s starting to fully embrace the fact that HE IS HIM ( if so chooses to be)

    @@nooones3033 I never said wolves weren’t gonna win for one and two if you think because I’ve enjoyed Kyrie since day one. (Cavs fan) makes me a casual fan is crazy. I honestly think it goes 6-7 games ain’t no way wolves go 4 straight against them in my opinion but ay you have your opinion you too.

    Only 6 of Kyrie’s 30 points were on Ant. They weren’t doubling Ant, he was too passive. Ant will be more aggressive in game 2 and if everyone else feeds off that energy they’ll win game 2.

    Ant was primary defender on Kyrie for 6 attempts in the game. Kyrie scored 5/6 FG with Ant guarding him.

    Am I missing something what did ANT say to call out Kyrie, he said he would be guarding him in the next round which he is the one who is guarding him, how is that calling him out. He didn't say he was shutting him down or anything, I must be missing some?
