GAME 4 DIRKIE: KYRIE!

[KillerLeft]

I wanted to cast my vote before reading any comments so that I couldn't be swayed. I was shocked to see I was the only PJ vote. I get that Kyrie was great and would get most of the votes but man, if not for PJ in the first half, it probably gets out of hand... not one vote? 17 points, 50% from 3, 8 boards, 3 assists and fantastic defense from your number 4/5 guy!!??

This was the first game that I've been able to watch live and I got to watch it with my son. What a treat!

Early in the 3rd it looked like the Mavs would be better off sitting Luka as he was obviously playing timid due to the injury scare before the half. Luckily, Kyrie noticed that he'd need to step up and be Batman instead of Robin if the Mavs wanted to win.

Gaff 100% from the field, some timely 3's from Grimes, a clutch steal and free throws by the knife, and Lively being more than his box score numbers will show. Great early season W!

I wanted to cast a vote in favor of a defender, I really did. When push came to shove for me, however, I couldn't decide between PJ's first half or Marshall/Grimes' third quarter, so the tie went to the offensive engine of the night, lol.
