Congrats to Kyrie and the Mavs...a very tough well deserved series win. I just want to make sure I make this STATEMENT...let's not forget that when Kyrie got TRADED to Dallas the "KYRIE HATE MEDIA" said it wasn't going to work. They said that Kyrie was too much of a headache, too much of a problem, a distraction and he and Luka can't play enough defense together. Also, that KYRIE and LUKA can't win on a high level together...LET'S NOT FORGET THEY SAID THAT! I've said it before the ESPN media and others owes this man some apologies that he's NEVER GOING TO GET...BUT TRULY DESERVES. And all he does is produce, go to work, doesn't bring any drama and gets buckets, play defense and get results. Way to SHUT EM' UP WITH YOUR SUCCESS KYRIE!

He's older and has more responsibilities now. He's the veteran leader, he's focusing a lot more on defense, and OKC was making it real tough for him on both ends of the court. Back in Cleveland, his only responsibility was score; and nobody expected the Cavs to win so there wasn't much mental pressure.

Its kind of common sense, on pick and rolls he got hard hedged and blitzed the entire series and they sent help when he tried to go 1 on 1 most of the time. Against the warriors he didn’t get blitzed nearly as much, they guarded him one on one for the most part.

Lmao look at Disney trying to act like they didn’t push for this dude to be out of the league
Kyrie is crazy, Kyrie is stupid, Kyrie is bad influence. It turns out, the Mavs treat him with dignity and respect, let him do his own thing, when he doesn't eat during the day, arrange nutritionist to help him get enough energy in instead of laugh at him and watch him eat a banana on court. And in return their Kyrie is a leader a great teammate and a role model, it's not really about Kyrie after all, it's about those who has things to say about him.

I just know that Kai will be aggresive in 2nd half, He swapped his inner shirt during halftime and there I know Dallas would win
OKC picked The Kentucky kid over Lively. This needs to be talked about more
What most doesn't realize is that even if the foul wasn't called Kyrie was right on perfect spot to catch the ball and lay it in (which he did)..reason why OKC ain't bitching as much - they know they result would've been the same//

KD must be spewing in Cancun, his team got swepted while Kyrie's going to conference finals. Its obvious Dallas is much more well managed team compared to Phoenix.
