The Dallas Mavericks veteran guard Kyrie Irving was requested if there’s sufficient time to construct the mandatory chemistry within the ultimate few video games, given the scramble the standings have brought on.
“It’s been a scramble since I’ve been here,” Irving stated. “So, trying to fill in roles that kind of fill in from other people. And I think the realistic view is that when I came here, this was going to be a growing process. This was for the long term, and this was for something that’s bigger than ourselves, and we can’t just be a championship team overnight, especially me coming here.
“So I think I’ve wrapped my head around that aspect of it. I’m at peace with it. It doesn’t mean that I’m giving up on this season or any of my teammates are, but we know where we realistically are, and our destiny is in some other team’s hands losing games.
“So we just got to control what we can control and focus on the next few possessions that we have in these next games against some really good teams that want to position themselves for the playoffs. We’re fighting for a spot, so I look forward to the challenge. But again, in the last six minutes of the game, I felt like we could have been better clear, including myself.”
