Kyrie and Grant made big time contributions to turn things around in the 4th quarter but in a way they just cleaned up the mess they created in the first three quarters. Simply higher expectations compared to the youngsters. Kyrie needs to up his scoring efficiency. Grant cannot look like Luka's lazy twin on defense for an entire half.
As usual it comes down to different interpretations of the Dirkie. Kyrie probably was the best Mavs player in the game against the Hornets. But Lively (and in my opinion Hardy) overperformed more than any other player on the roster.
Thats fair. I'm one of the few that doesn't really care who you vote for, as long as you can explain the choice. Its why I try to get at least 7-8 guys on the poll. Its always interesting to see who values what.
