Kyrie Irving on his Nets' tenure: 'It just feels like that FOMO'
“I don’t look at that aspect of my career as disappointing. I think just think it’s kind of like one of those times that got away, the girl that got away… and it’ll hurt you for the rest of your life. You’re like looking at it, you got a great bad wife, kids and all that. So I don’t second-guess it, I don’t wanna get in trouble with my wife. I’m not thinking about nobody else, baby. But it just feels like that FOMO [fear of missing out], you missed out on something great.”

Before the Mavs pulled their starters off the floor with 4:45 left last night, do you know how many of their baskets weren’t either scored or assisted by Kyrie and Luka?
TWO!!!!
Get these dudes some help. – 9:48 AM

Paul George said tonight that getting roughed up by Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson for 62 points (on 46 shots) last night led to Clippers locking in on tonight’s game vs Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

Mavericks end 3rd quarter on 7-0 run capped by a Kyrie buzzer beating 3, ensuring that we will be here for relevant 4th quarter minutes
For now, LAC leads 79-62
Norman Powell shooting 💯 from everywhere: 4/4 FGs, 3/3 3s, 4/4 FTs, 15 points. Mavericks bench has 10 points. – 12:22 AM

Heck of a flourish by Irving to finish the third quarter. Made a layup with 29 seconds left, grabbed a defensive rebound with 7.8 seconds left and sank a 3-pointer with three-tenths of a second left.
Clippers 79, Dallas 52. – 12:22 AM

Third quarter ends: Clippers are up 79-62 on Dallas and have led by as many as 24 points.
Luka and Kyrie account for 45 points. Clippers’ offense has been far more balanced, with four in double figures, led by Paul George’s 19 points. – 12:21 AM

Only Mavericks to make a basket in that first half were Doncic, Irving, and Tim Hardaway Jr. Those 3 have accounted for 35 of Dallas’ 46 FG attempts.
Flip side: Mavericks have 9:1 assist-TO ratio. Only Mavericks turnover was Harden stealing a Doncic cross court pass. – 11:47 PM

Mavs trail LAC 56-45 at halftime. It took nealry 19 minutes for someone other than Luka or Kyrie to make a basket (THJ). In fact, of their 17 FGs, those 3 have scored all of them. The other 3 a combined 0-11. Luka 22 (17 in 2nd). George 15 for LAC. 2nd half soon @971TheFreak – 11:45 PM

Unbelievable: That basket by Hardaway with 5:05 left in the first half is the first one by a Maverick other than Doncic or Irving.
Dallas trails 46-32 and it feels like it should be worse. – 11:26 PM

More on this storyline
“We could sit here and play to what-if scenarios all day, bro,” Irving responded to a question from the Dallas Morning News, in a clip tweeted by Tomer Azarly. “But for me, even when James came to Brooklyn — and a lot of my peers, and a lot of my teammates I’ve played with — I’ve always told them that ‘This is bigger than just us being teammates right now, present moment. You’ve got to do what is best for you.’ “And it’s unfortunate that me, James and KD are part of the NBA history’s ‘what ifs’ of just having a superteam, and the expectations on us. And we did have a few good seasons and outside of just the things we couldn’t control, with the vaccine stuff and the mandates in New York City, and just the ups and downs of scenarios and circumstances, I feel like we did pretty well. -via New York Post / November 27, 2023

When he arrived to face the media after the deflating loss to the Bucks, The Mavs point guard caught the attention of NBA fans worldwide with his outfit. He wore a black-and-white scarf called a keffiyeh, a traditional symbol of solidarity with Palestine among activists. He was not asked about his choice of headwear, nor did he answer any questions about the Israel-Hamas War during the press conference. He only talked about the game, which ended in disappointment after losing a 10-point fourth quarter lead. -via Marca.com / November 20, 2023
