If not, I would assume Kyrie gets a six-minute rest in the first quarter and starts the first six of the second. In any event, the patterns have to change somewhat. The whole point of "get this kid some help" is that his minutes, as well as his usage, need to go down.
I was just thinking this.
So far the Mavs are winning the 1st and 3rd quarters where Luka plays the whole time. But lose the 2nd and 4th because Luka only plays the last 6 minutes.
If so, it'd stand to reason that Kyrie should basically be the opposite of Luka. Getting the entire 2nd and 4th quarters and get subbed out early the 1st and 3rd.
