After the Dallas Mavericks lost the NBA Finals to the Boston Celtics 3-0, Kyrie Irving addressed the harsh criticism directed at Luka Doncic. After the game, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst made some particularly scathing remarks about Doncic that immediately gained popularity. According to Windhorst, “his defensive play is unacceptable” on ESPN.
He is the court’s weak link. The Celtics are attacking him, and since they have attacked him defensively, they are leading the series. He is making his squad pay.
Now that Doncic has rebounded in Game 4, winning 122-84 and scoring 29 points in three quarters, Irving said Doncic has made his detractors seem foolish. Irving remarked during Game 4 that “I think he made a few people eat their words.” “I’ll put it in a constructive manner.
I believe that he is experiencing for the first time what it’s like to be on this stage and underperform. He gave a really good response. I believe I anticipated it. I believe that many people who have watched Luka anticipated it.
Irving also mentioned Mavs coach Jason Kidd vehemently defending Doncic against the harsh criticism he has received. “If you’re not out there necessarily playing with us, it’s gonna be hard for us to connect if you’re talking sh*t about one of our teammates,” Irving stated. “We won’t go for that. That’s what you’re hearing not just from us, but also from our head coach.” The Mavericks will now travel to Boston for Game 5, which begins on Monday night.
