Kyrie Irving Reacts to Impressions of Jalen Brunson, Mavs Win vs. Knicks & Message to Mavs Fans

Kyrie Irving Reacts to Impressions of Jalen Brunson, Mavs Win vs. Knicks & Message to Mavs Fans

Right guys go ahead Jason mentioned the importance of utilizing you more in the post uh how helpful was out to your I was definitely helpful um appreciate him looking out for me down there uh getting me to um you know my spot and make the game

Easier trying to uh save some of the energy conser for the fourth quarter which I think we did a great job of doing um but yeah he gave me just opportunities to create for myself and my teammates and I’m appreciate of that how much did Tuesday night play

Intoon just as far as the energy level the effort and just the fact that maybe you were embarrassed as team about what happened Tuesday night you wanted to show that you weren’t you weren’t that yeah uh well in competition you going to get embarrassed sometimes and I I think

That’s that’s part of us uh um kind of NBA level of competition just you know some games you’re not going to play up to um the level that you want and uh I think the the big question after that is how do you respond and I think we

Responded tonight and and now again like I said the other night it was 48 hours ago finding that consistency is is just as important as locking into the game plan and uh being able to um create uh some opportunities throughout the game where you’re you’re really focused on

Getting the best uh possession out out of the game and out of your teammates and uh man it was it was a hardfought game so we used Tuesday as motivation for sure um we had a great talk as a team we recalibrated and we knew what

Type of game was going to be tonight against the Knicks um and it was going to take our hyper focus and our physicality and the things that we didn’t do against Memphis you know starting off well and giving um the New York Knicks confidence we we didn’t want

To do that and um that I think that’s our identity moving forward where we start out the game really physical and we managed the game well after after that you know whether we’re up in the first quarter or down our physicality is what separates us L

Tonight did you put yeah we need him out there we do we need all our guys get one without him um and you came out cooking when he’s when he’s out is are you more intentional about trying to get off to a hot start personally and you know kind of taking pressure off

Guys uh when he’s in the lineup too I feel like that’s that’s great for our team when uh I’m pushing the ball and and getting us off to a great start and getting to my spots early and really setting the tone for my Defender that’s

On me um and then setting the tone for my teammates most importantly just when they see me attacking like that I think it motivates them I think it inspires them to pick their level of play up just like if Luca was doing the same thing he’s pushing as a teammate you want to

Be right there with him um you know we all need help out out there as teammates and uh when we don’t have guys in the lineup it’s it’s definitely um you know a situation A circumstance that we don’t want to be in but we know that we are it’s just the reality of

Situation so it’s the next man up mentality um but for us in that locker room next man up just means coming in with that same Focus level as if somebody else was out there you know if luuka was out there or dive was out there and being able to fulfill that

Role and do it at a high level no excuses so uh me getting off to a good start I don’t have any excuses anymore uh with this team whether luk is in the lineup or not I got to start off with an aggressive mindset an aggressive

Mentality and and lead the group in that way um and then allow the game management to tell you what we need to do for the rest of the game what was your view of the play at the end three offensive rebound trapping you they trapped you again guys missed three

Shots yeah the basketball guys they they had our back they they had our back uh you know we were playing extremely well throughout majority of the game then those final four or five minutes where they start hitting some Corner threes they start making some big shots Julius

Gets a um you know downhill OG gets into the scoring uh uh as well and and they’re pushing the pace and and our lead goes from 12 or 9 to two and now the crowd’s involved I mean these are the games as a competitor uh you know you’re just you’re you’re being tested

And when you’re going against a well coach team like the Knicks you you know kind of their schemes down the stretch they’re going to throw something at you tibs is always creative with that uh so I think we grew tonight as a team and um you know we’re just fulfilling our our

Our roles right now or playing the roles that we need to be playing now that we don’t have guys in the lineup but I want to get get us healthy man I want to get us healthy shout out to all the guys man hey when you were with the net you took

Extra pleasure beating the kni just cuz it was Rivals um done really well against them um is that transfer over when you transfer teams or is it uh I mean we we know systems well I think us as players and I know systems well um I

Had an idea how they were going to guard me tonight but seeing OG for majority of the game and them forc me into some tough uh decisions down the stretch uh it was definitely a different Knicks team than I’ve played against last year so you got to give them credit they’ve

Gotten better uh they came in on a streak and uh you know I always say I love be in the Knicks but it it’s just another team on our schedule man when I was in Brooklyn it was definitely uh high intensity you know they right down

The street so uh you see all the Twitter uh ads and and you see all the uh you know kind of fans getting into it and I think that’s what makes New York City basketball great uh but here in Dallas um you know was a homecoming for a few

Guys on on New York Knicks and we just wanted to play well against them tonight so just another game Jason mentioned that you guys haven’t had a real practice since it’s true 20th it’s true how difficult is it in your position to essentially return from injury on the fly in that

Respect is it easy no it’s it’s not easy I won’t ever say it’s easy um I like to revert back to you know it’s my same quote it’s just a lot of things that I do that will go unnoticed for the rest of my career a lot of people don’t see

Um you know the late night’s lifting the early Rising getting massages taking care of your body um and doing everything to mentally prepare uh you know it’s the only job in the world that or one of the few jobs in the world where you got to be ready at 8:00 a.m.

Soon as you wake up you got to be locked in until 700 p.m. then you got to go out there and prepare and play at a high level and and um use your IQ your skill set uh to will yourself uh to play well for your teammates uh so I think we’re

Figuring that out as a team though um how we prepare how we prepare when we’re injured and then also how to sustain uh the level of play that we’re on now you know these games every other day at home we very comfortable so I’ll give us that

Uh we get to lay down in our beds every night that makes a big difference with our families and then coming into work uh should feel like a breeze when you’ve prepared the night before and you can come in early and get your work in and really set the tone for not only

Yourself but for your teammates so I feel like you mentioned that tonight you all grew as a team talk about the inten getting the energy from guys like aent and that didn’t see the court but they’re still you know supporting yeah it’s a fullon team game this uh full on

Team game I’m I’m glad that other guys got got going in in the lineup and they made my job a lot easier uh I give a lot of credit to them they were guarding their asses off excuse my language tonight and um we we really showed our

Will down the stretch we didn’t Panic uh they went on their run and uh we were able to weather that storm and uh really get a solid win tonight but couldn’t have done it without the effort of the other guys and our coaching staff putting together a great game plan we we

Really locked in tonight guys haven’t had a practice since December but as a person who’ve seen you know how crazy that is by the way yeah like to not practice like almost D near you know what I’m saying it’s it’s a crazy concept but that’s the

Reality in our league man it’s a lot of games but um go ahead I didn’t mean to cut you off it’s just yeah a as a person who’s personally seen you well part of your process and being in the lab how important is it to create your own shots

And you know just work on things every single day for games like today yeah man it’s it’s straight Mamba mentality man you got to get your work in um make sure you take care of your family of course uh but the work is is everything and the

Energy you pour into yourself and your work ethic it’ll reward you 10 times tenfold uh I genuinely believe that it may not be the next day but if you put in consistent days then uh the work will show for itself and I feel like that’s what’s happening with our team and with

Me getting back from injury I needed those days to not only recalibrate but get my body a better place again I started off the season my body was uh you know it was I want to say it was like it was hard to uh get over that

Hump as they say you know being in shape and then being in great shape where you can impact the game for 40 minutes 46 minutes and whatever your team needs you to be so I think that that’s helped uh a lot it’s just our preparation my preparation what message do you have for

The fans meage I have for the fans man please keep selling out a and keep giving us that great energy and I’m truly appreciative of of them uh coming to the games supporting I know a lot of people are at home supporting too we have a lot of mfls around the world so

Shout out to them um this season has been up up and down um but looking forward to you know continuing to be on these um Winning Side of of playing against the best teams in the league mention mentioned the homecoming for some of their what you just thought about what jaylen’s progress has

Been no short of proud of him uh man what an idea or excuse I don’t want to say idea what a beautiful situation that him and his dad have in New York City um you know as as a peer of his as a brother of his I I I definitely uh look

At that and and say man I wish my dad was on the bench coaching me and I could look down at him and like what do you think about that play and uh it’s healthy you know it’s it’s it’s a legacy league and um you know to see them

Working together but to see jayen take uh kind of that torch that his father left for him as he was teaching him the game of basketball and then jaylen’s going on and have an incredible college career I’ve been watching for a long time he’s he’s a winner um he he’s

Incredibly resilient um and and he does the little things for his team to win and it’s good to see him getting his uh his respect amongst uh the peers and in the media too um he’s just wanted to continue to do his thing man stay healthy so Oh
