This is very poor use of the comment. I would expect better use of context from a former player out of respect to a fellow player.

Did Kyrie call Dallas a “cluster f*ck”? How Ironic. From forcing his way out of Cleveland, Boston and Brooklyn, if Dallas is what he describes it as, they are a perfect match! Carry on…

Kyrie Irving was insanely automatic on short-range jumpers and free throws in his after practice work. Whether he was taking turnarounds, fallaways, or throwing in fakes to throw off rhythm, I felt like I legitimately never saw him miss.

Kyrie Irving earned a $1M incentive for playing 58 games and the Dallas Mavericks winning 50 games. In NBA language, this was deemed an "unlikely" incentive. Irving in camp: "I wanted everything that was structured in my contract incentive-wise to be based on production."

P.J. Washington on if tonight's win over the Suns felt like playoff basketball: "I don't know. I have never been to the playoffs. ... I guess [it did]." Did it feel like play-in basketball?: "It felt a little better than play-in basketball."

Jason Kidd says Dereck Lively II likely would have been "a top 3 or 4 pick" if the NBA knew he'd make the type of impact he's currently providing the Dallas Mavericks.

Anthony Davis on who he enjoyed being around the most: "Luka and Jokic. Those guys are comedy. They're really funny. It's good to be on the other side of all the plays they make happen. ... Those two guys were very great."
