If they find a second coming of Shawn Marion they will be very good.

O-Max Prosper is the guy they’re grooming to be that wing defender.

Jalen Green is gonna have nightmares after what Kyrie did to him in that 4th quarter.

Imo that's PJ Washington right now. Not Prime Marion, but DAL Marion where he wasn't a pogo stick anymore but still an above average athlete, inconsistent shot, rebound wells , and can defend 3s, 4s and sometimes 5s at an above average level. They both love floaters too.

I too have a lot of hope in O-max panning out. I just wish they gave him more minutes this year, just so he has a better sense of what to work on in the off-season.

He got to watch and practice with the team. His role to be in rotation can be very simple at the beginning, hitting corner 3s and D, but his expectation/ceiling is pretty high with the hardware he has.

Second this, PJ has been defending 1s and 2s effectively when needed. Feel he is 2nd all-D level since joining Mavs.

Kyrie's at 49.6/41/91, 25/40 in the next 2 games and he's a member of the very prestigious 50/40/90 club for the 2nd time of his career.

Do they round up for 50/40/90 considerations?

I'm not sure, I'm not sure it's an official stat with official requirement, I know Dirk had 50/40/90 season in his MVP season, but isn't listed in stat muse because he had too little 3PM.

We really got this guy for Spencer Dimdsadwqewedie?



2 pts up to 3rd quarter and never in doubt he'd light it up eventually.

Thank God for Kyrie.

I missed him in the Clippers series, when Luka used to run out of gas down the road.

Actually Brunson fits great with Luka while your Kyrie left KD high and dry in the playoffs and will with Luka as well or didn't you not get the memo?

I didn't not not get that memo.
Well at least we're not Detroit!

Ok, let's try this again in english please?
Brunson wanted to leave and is gone and ain't coming back.
Kyrie is a better player than Brunson and has better chemistry with Luka.
Now if you really want to discuss this, try stringing together a coherent sentence and we can check again.
In short: no memo received, thanks.

Even on an off night when Kyrie did not do normal Kyrie things, he still played great defense and distributed the ball nicely.

The media never talks about Kyrie anymore, and I think that's good for Kyrie. He can stay away from the negativities.
