The message was delivered. Luka Doncic is not championship material!!!! That’s been the force-fed narrative in the aftermath of the Doncic trade. Nico Harrison and Patrick Dumont have tried their best to convince the Mavs fanbase of it but they’re not only #MavsFansForLife, they’re Team Doncic. Jason Kidd’s silence over the lack of protest shows where he stands but Kyrie Irving has set himself apart from the bunch. Chief Hela is being the leader he needs to be, is being the healer he needs to be for the whole of Dallas. So when he delivers a message to the locker room, you can’t help sit up and listen.
The Dallas Mavericks went into the Warriors games with 99 problems and zero centers. That didn’t stop them from recording the dub against the Dubs. After the game, Kyrie Irving was clear to highlight how they got through this and set the expectations for the future once again. “Plain and simple, if I’m putting my body on the line we all have to and same vice versa for me, that same sentiment, feeling. Whatever it takes to win,” Irving said when asked about the message sent to the locker room with his 42-point game. That’s some Captain America level speech and coach Kidd wouldn’t mind bestowing that moniker on the guard.
