Kyrie Irving 2023-24 Stats per Game - NBA - ESPN
The 2023-24 NBA season stats per game for Kyrie Irving of the Dallas Mavericks on ESPN. Includes full stats, per opponent, for regular and postseason.www.espn.com
Clippers don’t play again until WednesdayKawhii going to see San Diego St on Monday night or will he be load managing? At least for the first half of the game.
They don’t play defense. We already knew this. Mavs are the west coast version of the Hawks, all offense no defense.![]()
You are wrong. You are getting 12 using that game log because it includes the All-Star Game
4-10 w/ Kyrie + Luka
3-1 w/ Kyrie only
And I’m not even a Kyrie truther, just making sure we are keeping it a buck about the situation. He is not the sole problem here if we are evaluating purely on record since he joined the team.
I was referring to him load managing, watching the first half of the National Championship game, after that foolishness of him sitting out the 2nd half of a game to get ready for another.Clippers don’t play again until Wednesday
Youre right. 7-11 it is![]()

Losing DFS hurt, but it seems like him and Bullock slipped on defense this season too.They traded their 2nd best scorer/decent defensive guard + best defensive wing for a purely offensive player, man. This was never going to work outThey needed to make moves for a defensive big, wing depth (preferably defensive if giving up DFS) and a supplemental playmaker (since Dinwiddie likely would have been moved in these deals).
Mavs fans in here and on every social platform have been calling for a defensive big since like 2021. Then they go and trade Dinwiddie and DFS for Kyrie while retaining Wood. Idk what the FO is seeing that the rest of the world isn’t
Positionless in the sense that there are guards, wings and bigs. Just because the Raptors have a bunch of guys that don’t do any of the things well enough doesn’t change that. There’s just no point in labels with the traditional positions that we grew up labeling guys is all it means.
...the all NBA teams are already labeled that way? Guards Forwards and Centers.
seems to me it is already perfectly set up for the current way positions work.
Yeah but there are plenty of teams/situations where 4s (forwards) play as 5s (centers) and guards (2s) play as 3s (forwards). Lineups are fluid like that these days, especially in crunch time. This year is the rare example where First Team would have two Centers and it would be well deserved. Yanni, a 4, would be on there too. Tatum, a 3.
Then I’ll let y’all fight over over the 5th and whether it should be Luka, Sabonis, SGA, etc. Regardless, 2 Forwards and 2 Centers are the best players in basketball so they deserve First Team Honors.
People must not know how to read.
The in season tournament counts towards your regular season record.
So it’s just a set of more meaningful regular season games.
People just love to complain

To some extent it’s a largely semantic argument, but I still thing positions exist and are meaningful. What I think has changed is that a player’s position is now dictated as much by talent/ability/skills as it is by size/body type. And, consequently, there’s not as much rigidity in the conceptions of what certain positions are supposed to do and not do.
Jumpball Jordan Peterson is 100% the cause of most of his personal stress but he can't see it.
Elite level narcissist.
This. I don’t take “positionless basketball” to mean everyone can play 1-5. To me it moreso means we are seeing less and less of the traditional 1/2/3/4/5 lineups of the past as I alluded to in my post.
Yes, there are guards, forwards and centers. Yes, those are positions. The argument is simply that First Team should consist of the Top 5 Guards, Forwards and Centers.
Could be all guards, could be all forwards, could be all centers. But it shouldn’t be required that each team is 2 Guards, 2 Fowards and a Center. We off that in 2023.
