RE: MAVS NEWS: Luka's MVP Case | Lively has Knee Sprain out 2wks - dirkfansince1998 - 04-06-2024 (04-06-2024, 07:45 AM)Chicagojk Wrote: Kyrie won’t get to 65 games so he is ineligible for all nba, but I wonder if he would be getting pub for all nba if he had played 65 games? Especially with his recent stretch. Or would a certain group of national media hold his past troubles against him and not vote for him for that? There are a lot of deserving guys for all nba and guys who deserve it will be left off. I just wonder if Kyrie deserved a spot if he played 65. As you mentioned there are a lot of guys that are in the conversation for one of the six guard spots. Luka is going to make 1st team all NBA again and that hurts Kyrie's case. Up against players on teams with a better record or the best players on teams without another all-NBA caliber player. For the guard spots I have... 1st SGA/Luka 2nd Brunson/Edwards 3rd Booker vs Fox vs Curry vs Maxey vs Lillard (Kyrie has a solid case) RE: MAVS NEWS: Luka's MVP Case | Lively has Knee Sprain out 2wks - SleepingHero - 04-06-2024 (04-06-2024, 07:45 AM)Chicagojk Wrote: Kyrie won’t get to 65 games so he is ineligible for all nba, but I wonder if he would be getting pub for all nba if he had played 65 games?

There are a lot of deserving guys for all nba and guys who deserve it will be left off. I just wonder if Kyrie deserved a spot if he played 65. No I don't think Kyrie would get any recognition from the national media. He's burnt all the bridges in every major market. New York hates him cause he refused to sign with them in 2019. Brooklyn hates him cause of everything that happened there. Boston hates him for the same reasons to be honest. Lakers hate him because he didn't do everything in his power to help Lebron. In short, the national media has every reason to keep Kyrie down. They have very little to gain to prop him up. He's been hovering as a 50/40/90 guy this entire season as a 6'2 guard. That is insane. He's barely gotten any media buzz as is. But i don't think he cares much for it anyways. Of course he would like recognition but I think Kyrie is perfectly happy being left alone. He deserves all NBA this season though.

I sure am glad they have him right about now, and to be honest, I don’t think they were going to be able to play both centers very much in the playoffs, anyway. Really think Kleber is going to finish games.This is where my focus will be when we get to the playoffs. Will Gafford (or Lively) be played off the court? Before the year i would have said yes it is likely. At this point I’m not sure. I do believe that if we are able to effectively use both we will make a long run. It’s so devastating for other teams when we can take total control of the paint. The times that bigs really get played off the floor historically has been against the elite small ball teams like the Warriors or Mavs from 2 years ago. Potentially the clippers this year. Last nights game Gafford destroyed them. I don’t see how any plan from GS could have played him off the court. It takes almost perfect play from small ball to win these days RE: MAVS NEWS: Luka's MVP Case | Lively has Knee Sprain out 2wks - HoosierDaddyKidd - 04-06-2024 https://clutchpoints.com/mavericks-news-kyrie-irving-stephen-curry-dallas-warriors Kyrie on his battles with Steph Curry.

Because of this, I thought it was Gaff’s best game as a Mav. He and PJ both. I absolutely LOVE that they’re getting their feet wet in this no-whistle, playoff-like environment too. If this team can get healthy, watch out! RE: MAVS NEWS: Mavs Need Stabilizing All The Time - Smitty - 04-07-2024 (03-12-2024, 09:15 PM)Smitty Wrote: It’s not popular to defend Kidd on here. Believe me, I’ve criticized him plenty. But his two stars are poor defenders. His best defender, Maxi, has missed 37 games of a possible 65. Second best defender, Exum, has missed 26 games. Good job Kidd. I was responding to Hero here, who didn’t like Kidd implementing a new defensive scheme mid-season. I bash the head coach plenty. Want to give credit where credit is due. Go Mavs!

Kidd made a comment during the stretch where the Mavs lost 5 of 6 saying they're implementing a new defensive scheme and everyone is learning and will get better. The article was lambasting Kidd for not having the team ready and just criticized him and the mavs for general uninspired play. At the end of the day, gotta give credit where it's due though.

He's normally one of the more negative guys on the Mavs anyways. His entire schtick is "I've never been a fan of then Mavs, I was just assigned to cover them, so I must be impartial" is tiring. I don't find it surprising that basically all of his scoops and insider stories ended the day Donnie and Bobby V were ousted.
