Kyrie is one of my favourite players.

But even with him healthy on this Mavs team, I’m not sure that they’d have the offensive pieces to win a championship.

You’d be relying on Kyrie to average close to 30 and carry the offensive load for the team. Hes never really done that, hes always been part of a one two punch.

AD is a hell of a player, but he can’t put up big numbers consistently on offense.

Also, no real play making talent on this squad, Lively, Gafford and PJ aren’t being set up with drives, dunks and shots like they were before.

Lmao. 1955 Rochester Royals would drop 200 points on the Mavs.

AD most definitely could consistently put up big numbers on offense, but he doesn't have a strong motor since they won a title. His jumpshot has been shakey since then, and his effort plays have waned considerably. that could be a result of injuries but we've seen long streams where he goes for 25/10 and does it effortlessly and not even putting effort on the defensive end. The guy has coasted on natural talent most of his career.

Yeah it’s definitely not a skills issue.

More a physical / conditioning, injury / mental issue.

Playing great tonight, these performances can be patchy though, especially in the yoffs, he has plenty of 15 point nights, not quite good enough for a second scoring option with Kyrie.

Not gonna lie.

It’d be very cool to see the Clippers beat the nuggets.

So good to see Kawhai back.

Liking the way that Harden is ballin atm, seems relaxed in his game and playing with style. Like the pressure is off finally.

Would be good to see these old guys do something in the yoffs.

They're gonna win it all this year...
 
Mavs gave up 40 in the first quarter, defence wins championships.

Lively, Gafford and PJ aren’t looking like championship level starters people thought they were..
