Kyrie Irving

Kyrie Irving came out charging in his Dallas debut, keying a big run to open the game and sparking his new teammates in front of a cheering Luka Doncic.

We just tried to understand each other a lot better and grow as human beings, grow as brothers. Irving had four rebounds and five assists in 37 minutes of what amounted to a dress rehearsal before Doncic returns to give the Mavs a powerhouse backcourt. There was still a level of uncertainty, but we just cared about seeing each other be places that we can thrive – whether that be together, whether that be apart. He was part of a 13-0 spurt early in the game, scoring eight points on a jumper and back-to-back three-pointers. “The comfort level he feels with us, you could see it in the game. It’s the first time I ever got traded in the middle of the season, so it was new for me, but I’m excited that I’m here.”

Irving responded in real-time following his Dallas Mavericks debut.

I'm happy that I could look back on that journey and reflect and say I learned a lot of things from those guys and my teammates in Brooklyn." Whether it be the mandate with the vaccine or missing games, me suspended or, you know, just little things that I think, you know, just put just wrenches in our journey."

That stands to reason with Kyrie pushing the tempo and others doing a lot of the ballhandling. THE BALL WAS POPPING: The Mavericks’ pace was decidedly faster than it is when Luka is dominating the ball. I did my best to flow through them.” The good news is that Irving knows this isn’t a pod race in Star Wars. “I was talking to my wife after the game. The Mavericks pushed the ball when they rebounded it. I don’t want to force anything on them or do anything out of my norm.” “Bona fide pro – just a great basketball player,” Pinson said of Irving, a star he played with in Brooklyn in 2019. The Mavericks controlled everything, even defensively, against the Clippers.

The Brooklyn Nets have had a difficult time in recent years, a franchise in dire need of success after assembling two 'super-teams' that have been huge disappointments. Irving spoke about the 'super-team' he formed with Durant and James Harden, who was also traded away following a tumultuous period with the team. As a result, Durant was traded to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night, and in both moves, the Nets obtained several first-round draft picks and young players. During his first game with the Mavericks, Irving learned of Durant's trade, and was later questioned about it after the game. However, what transpired were several years of disappointment, as both players battled with injuries, particularly Irving who missed a substantial amount of time, and the team was plagued by high-profile trade failures.

In Kyrie Irving's mind, setting ablaze the fabric of the Nets was beyond his control. In reality, Brooklyn's gravest mistake was holding Irving accountable.
