      Luka, yes. Kyrie? Other than saying he should retire, no. SAS has made some dumb takes. But his issue with KAI was never about who he was off the court. SAS always had issue with how KAI kept finding reasons not to play given his talent level.

      To be fair, Kyrie and Luka deserve the criticisms they have gotten over the years. Kyrie has been a below average teammate and Luka has just flat out not even tried on the defensive end at times. They can prove everyone wrong if they win a title, but that is still a long way to go.

    I’m a Mavs fan but I’m going to say that they are taking the Anthony and Kyrie thing way too overboard. He didn’t call out Kyrie. He said that his assignment was going to be Kyrie. There’s was nothing wrong with what he said. He didn’t say he was going to lock him down or anything. There’s a difference.

      Timberwolves in 5. Let’s see if the clown is on tv or in UA-cam.

    Ant said Kyrie is my match up. How is that a problem in any way. It’s true.

      Because he has a reputation as a lock down defender when he puts his mind to it, and up until game 1 last night he had been able to win his matchups against others like Bradley Beal, MPJ, and others in previous rounds. Kyrie probably considered that if nothing else and the media just knew that there was a chance something like last night could happen. It's not what he said, it's how he said it. He seemed to sure of himself which someone like Kyrie could see that as a challenge.
