As the Mavericks take their 2-1 series lead into Game 4 vs. OKC, time has come for Irving to tell Doncic: “I got this.”
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving takes the court before Game 2 of an NBA basketball second-round playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday, May 9, 2024, in Oklahoma City.Professional courtesy is a guiding principle in this business. For instance, a loyal reader recently asked how we decide who writes what after games. Simple. Columnists get first dibs; beat writers take what’s left over.
On defense, he’s been terrific. Pestered James Harden to death in the first round. The Mavs have asked everyone to step up their game on defense, especially against the pick-and-roll. Irving, like Luka, has responded.But there’s only so much you can ask a 32-year-old guy to do on offense if he has to play defense, too.
How much different is Irving in the second half of playoff games this year? He’s averaging 6.3 points in the first half and 17 in the second. That’s by design, if you’re wondering.
