Kyrie was no doubt the MVP of the game and was the primary reason the Mavs won. He basically carried the entire team like Luka. It was incredible watching him orchestrate the offense without having to do more than 1 pass most of the time.
But I'm giving the Dirkie to Green for that clutch 3 that sealed the game. Ice in his veins. He defended Brunson well the whole night, and got out in transition over and over for easy buckets. He even had some solid half court production.
I still need to figure out why Green looks like a legit rotation player when only 1 of Luka or Kyrie plays.
I think Green is not a natural Alpha dog. I suspect he has always been happy to be a third banana...snug in a rug...however you want to say it. If he can learn to be an Alpha--he will be good. The coaches have to help him learn...
