Irving is a great finisher his knocks have been. 1 can he win or lead being the first option. 2. His off court issues which we have not seen this year. But in today's game even having 2 superstars does not guarantee a deep playoff run or ring. Players 4 thur 10 have to be solid and you need to stay healthy. Great Wins for Mavs one more in Dallas and close this out in 5 or 6 and get ready for Western Conference Championship. If we get healthy and hit our 3 shot we gotta a chance.

[@maferreira1984]

PJ has been giving me Scottie Pippen vibes on defense ever since he joined the Mavs. If he establishes himself as a reliable third option to capitalize when both Luka and Kyrie are getting blitzed, this Dallas team will be hard to stop. (A quick reminder that Luka is clearly playing at 50-70% capacity rn, you give this man a 2nd good option besides Kyrie when he is playing at 100% and you got yourself a chip -- not sure if that's gonna happen this year, tho.)
