NBA GameTime | “Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are best duo in NBA” – Shaq on Mavericks beat Nuggets

Presented by KIA after an NBA Sunday with just a dash of March Madness Matt Wier with national champions Isaiah Thomas and Greg Anthony Lots who lots happening around the league Sunday we’ll start with the Champs in Dallas third then it’s yic look at this fine Gordon nice D so pretty Jamal

Murray turns the corner high off the glass under control Denver up by three at halftime third quarter Luca donic finds Kyrie Irving from the wing and then Kyrie always has something waiting for a finish and for the finish of this game as it turned out donic step back

Three Mavericks fans love it Mark Cuban loves it Dallas up by nine donic hesitation finish he had 30 seven on the afternoon cavius cwell pop big bucket Champs back within three yic no help for donic no chance help yic had 1611 and seven assists then it’s Murray the three to put the Nuggets

Up 105 102 part of a 20 to4 run he had 23 Luca answers game tied at 105 Denver had an empty possession then it’s Kyrie going to work yish out on the island Kyrie to his left and somehow with that running Lefty offhand hook are you kidding me

That’s beautiful just beautiful that was an amazing shot the degree of difficulty on that gamewinner is absurd third career game-winning buzzer beater for Irving is the Mavs win for the fifth time in six games League reacted just like we did wow skilled yes what does MF mean sorry M

Tyreek so so tough is right this this shot was unbelievably difficult these are from some very highly skilled players heing praise Talent heing praise just amazing give us a sense of how hard that shot is it it it’s almost it it’s one you know it’s impossible for for most people and

That’s why you saw you know okay he he comes off the curl he’s guarded by a seven-footer and he shoots a left-handed hook shot from the foul line and not only does he shoot it he looks it all the way in follow through and like bam how impossible that shot was that he

Made but also the accuracy of it and it wasn’t luck like that you you can see that was like okay extension follow through look it in okay y’all surprised I’m not left hand how you doing he he’s always been great with his off hand but from that distance wow that’s hard

Remember the famous Magic Johnson Junior sky hook in the 87 finals this was so much harder a shot than that well the other thing too he understood because of jokic’s angle he couldn’t get back to his right hand so he had already determined with the clock running down

That he was going to have to shoot that little leftand hook going away and even jic still had a pretty good contest on there that’s just an incredible shot to have the confidence to take it in that moment and then to be able to deliver

When this game was at I think it was 107 102 uh or 105 102 I thought it was over after the Murray after the Murray big three so for then Luca to get a a sideline out of bounds after timeout uncontested three that’s a huge middle Mistake by the Nuggets then a wasted

Possession and then Kyrie’s able to pull that shot out that that was amazing the the great players always find a way to get open yeah and and and and the coach comes to the bench and say hey don’t let this guy get open don’t let this guy and the defense is

Designed to stop them and the great players always find a way to get open and it just seems like they’re by theel and everybody like how’ that guy get open well he’s he’s that great Mavericks are one of those teams fighting to get out of the play in spots in the Western

Conference they’re a flawed team certainly on the defensive end but shots like that what Luca do at the end of the game that’s scares you if you’re an opponent in a playoff Ser all right to Milwaukee where the Suns wrapped up a 4 game Road Trip yanis Deo sitting out

With a hamstring issue Chris Middleton though was back after missing 16 games with an ankle issue and Middleton guys looked really good I tell you it’s it’s I was shocked he’d been out that long he didn’t show any rust really was a huge impact in this game look at that finish

From Dame speaking of Ms with skills mofo Booker attacks the basket still got to clarify what that means Booker with 23 game tied at 34 then bobby poris gets going I mean not ptis is a Ms yeah not not only did he get going but you know we talked about how

The great players find a way to just be open all the time I mean he was wide open and huie brown referenced it a couple of times that you know hey somebody better guard him at least get close Bobby por has had the feeling 25

In the first half most by any player Off the Bench in a half this season meanwhile the Bucks hit 18 threes in the first half ties an NBA record 18 18 threes in one half they had 82 at the half led by 22 Suns turn it over here

It’s Middleton who finished 8 of 15 from the field for 22 points Milwaukee pulling away here come the Suns trying to make things happen after the turnover it’s the former Buck Grayson Allen moved from Milwaukee 2 Phoenix in the offseason came came back with 25 and

Then it’s Beal Bradley with a team High 28 and it’s a dozen Point margin at that point but you know what check your watches synchronized yeah nobody’s prettier at getting to their pullup Dame L he’s incredible Buck 24 of 41 from three-point range poris with the easy

One Lillard with another three 31 and a career-high tying 16 assists Milwaukee did everything right but the blue uniforms on St Patrick’s Day they’re now 9 and3 since the All-Star break after hitting the Suns with the most point they’ve given up this season nothing new for Milwaukee though they’ve

Scored 149 times this season and one each one I mean obviously you you look at our team and I think one of our biggest strengths is our depth and um you know BP is a starter or you know any other team but I think for our team he

Knows what his job is so when you you down a guy like Giannis you know that everybody’s going to have to set that game up and we’ve been in this situation a couple times this year and every time he’s he’s come through and delivered you

Know we know who he is and I knew that as well so coming into the game I knew I wouldn’t have to come out here and try to overdo it uh just keep the defense honest feed him feed everybody else and then pick my spots and be aggressive but

Uh before the game we talked in locker room we knew what it was and uh he came through and delivered crazy for a franchise that once employed Oscar Robertson but this was the first 30o 15 assist game in Bucs history and it just goes to show you how

Great Dame is in in terms of being able to deliver this performance tonight and and here we are in the pick and roll and it’s definitely miscommunication here Fenix gets confused get mixed up he takes the easy layup reverse it on the other side and then coming down Court

This is like a layup Line This is what we we practice right side left side he just drives straight to the basket lays it up and is he unselfish yes he can make the easy to for himself but he’s got it going he looks in the corner

Finds his teammate knocks it down for a three and then okay you get trapped they send two at you automatically you put the ball behind the trap now we got three versus two what does get small small small people in the back I think I just go pick take another layup over the

Over the small guys I mean you know D played great Milwaukee was awful I mean awesome but the three-point def defense for the Phoenix Suns was awful in the last two of the last three games Phoenix has given up 25 threes and then tonight 24 threes they give up 25 against Boston

24 against Milwaukee they got to find a way to fix a three point defensive liability yeah and listen you get the sense that Milwaukee is trending in the right direction right and the flip of that to your point with with the threes and the thing about defense it’s about

Disrupting in timing and space basketball is a Game of Rhythm and Phoenix allows you to get rhythm in the three cuz if you notice those they’re not like where somebody’s making you uncomfortable you’re catching it you’re having time to spot we call those shooting game shots yeah and and so the

Fact that they’re not giving the effort to try to run you off the three or to at least make you uncomfortable on the attempt that’s got to be concerning for Frank vogle and his staff because from a defensive standpoint yeah they’ve got some offensive Firepower but you’re not

Going to have success in this postseason if your defense your defensive intensity doesn’t raise and lard like Kyrie Irving was a master finisher I knew i’ Yeah for Fore fore spee spee fore spe spee foreign Foree speee Oh Speee fore foree spe foree fore spe Foree for spee spee helloe Oh M M M Oh okay fore spee foreign speech fore foree Speee hello
