Yeessssirrr!!!! People talked shit all series long against OKC without actually understanding what was going on. Kyrie’s job was to neutralize JDub and make OKC a one trick pony on offense with Shai. JDub is a great defender and kept Kyrie from exploding, but Kyrie did the same to him on the other end. Ant is great but he is not the defender people think he is. And Kai was having his way last night. LFG!!
Don’t you know that Edwards was just “tired” and so was the rest of team according to Conley.
I’m sure they’ll magically feel less fatigued by Friday!
It was fun for Kyrie
Kyrie was diplomatic during the post-game Inside the NBA appearance. I think Barkley asked Kyrie about what he must have thought about when Ant said he wanted Kyrie.
His answer was that he was surprised to hear it, but he also said the reason he went for it in the first half (unlike the OKC series) was because this was new for a lot of Dallas’s players and so if he did well, it would help settle them down. Then, he also said “this is why we love Ant” for being confident.
So, he didn’t make a huge point of feeling “disrespected”.
Lmao love it. Dude straight up called Kyrie out when unprompted and paid for it game 1. He was exhausted!
Let’s get this game 2!
I don’t think Kyrie or the team took it as an affront. It looks as though they’re all friends anyway, much like Ant and Murray going back and forth. Sounds like Ant welcomes the challenge and, as good and he is, he’s going to get his in as this series goes along.
