Mavs officially have a big three. If Gobert counts for the Wolves. So does Lively for the Mavs. Lively with another incredible all around performance. Without him the Mavs defense collapses. Would be a well deserved Dirkie for him but there are two more contenders. Kyrie for his carry job in the first half. One man offense when the entire team was struggling. Game might be over if he isn't dropping 20+. Luka for closing the game. When Kyrie went cold he was ready for the moment and looked like a completly different player. Sluggish and lazy in the first three quarters. But in the clutch he was everywhere and made the game winning plays on both ends.
I think today I am voting Luka. Feels like he is getting a lot of shit from NBA media these days. New shinny toys like Edwards or SGA are more marketable. But when it mattered most Luka reminded them that he has another gear that both cannot match.
