Kyrie is not the problem just the overall chemistry of the team

[Yute]

He is not the problem. He actually brings energy into the offense. Him and Luka just have such different paces to offense that it's hard for the supporting cast to adjust. Interested what Mavs fans think.

[brendoncolandog]

good to read everyone saying kai is not the problem.
i think luka needs to share the ball more often and see when to take a stepdown at times.

[penalosarusselgian]

I can't really understand it why fans always blame him for every loss when he really works his ass off every game. If only Kidd would realize that McGee should be the starting center over Powell, Mavs wouldn't be struggling like this.

Top 3 scapegoats in the NBA

1. Russell Westbrook
2. Kyrie Irving
3. Anybody that plays with Lebron

[twhoyoutrynabebuchanan]

Fans don’t blame Kyrie it’s only the media.

[Tacofalls]

People are blaming Kyrie when the rest of the team are 65 70 ovr builds with no badges smh

[jerryallover]

If these people keep trashing Kyrie, it will only expose how overrated Luka is.

[YallNotWhite_YourPINK]

Luca fans are delusional. Luca shot 30% from field and like 20% from the three not to mention the 5 to and the pass that let the hawks get to ot. Kyrie did everything yet luca couldnt even contribute smh hes clearly overrated by the fans and the media and im pretty sure most of us know why 😂

[ba_lotah]

someone explain to me how this is kyrie’s fault if he had no control over the trade situation? Not like he actually wanted to go there and play with luka harden

[Amulh.Inawil]

I watched the loss against Miami and realised that Luka is actually a ball hog😔

[crxssv]

Luka just doesn’t believe in off ball movement I guess 😂

[DungeonHunterawe]

They just need some defenders man. Just a few helps will make them champ team. Get some pieces post season plz!

[CoachRJ]

Luka is the problem until Luka gets fixed this Mavs team aint doing anything

[ktownghost]

Still tryna figure out y he's the problem

[tristancampbell]

The Mavericks are so disappointing, good lord

[carlton]

He's not the problem. I think they can win the last 3 game tho

[fistandpen]

Damn Luka getting lit up in these comments lol

[grumpycat]

the thing about mavs is.. Kyrie wasn't the problem when infact he's the team energy whenever he's on the court.. the transition was fast and everyone are involve.. everybody wouldn't accept that fact becuz they love Luka yet Luka's pacing was too slow becuz he's more on a ball dominant iso player..

not to mention they literally have little to no defense inside the paint becuz they kept benching Mcgee and choose Powell over him but if they decided to use him their defense inside looks very different

[trew]

2:47 & 3:19 Bench reactions of the opposing team hahaha crazy
