Some highlights from our broadcast of the Mavs 109-95 win vs Atlanta. Some of the good stuff Kyrie Irving did en route to leading Dallas with 26 pts plus Luka stuff from a night of 25 pts, 12 rebs & 8 assists. When Luka and Kyrie both play this season, the Mavs are 32-16. pic.twitter.com/M7oV8ERlgv – 1:50 AM

Curry drew a shooting foul on VanVleet, turned to the Warriors bench and flexed and shouted. He was going one-on-one and beat Jeff Green off the dribble, but seemed an odd time to celebrate considering the other 77 points the Warriors had scored. – 9:32 PM

More on this storyline
On Kyrie Irving and what does he see and like about the Dallas Mavericks this year… Stoudemire: Kyrie hit an amazing game winning shot with his left hand… Incredible! I saw my guy Ky in the beginning when he was at Duke all the way through; he’s an AMAZING talent. He should be a NBA All-Time Top 75 player. No questions about it, understand? And to see him now too with Luka [Doncic] and now he was brought out on this stage playing with American players when he was overseas playing and now for him to be drafted in the NBA playing against these guys; his peers that he was playing against when he was a youngster. To see him prosper in Dallas; the organization that I played for is an AMAZING organization and to see that combination is working prosperously, it’s beautiful to see, right? And so my thing is for those guys to continue to grow is good for basketball so I’m looking forward to that prosperity even more. -via YouTube / April 3, 2024
Then Dallas kept him in a similar role, his shooting fell off after a strong start, and rumblings started that they could already be looking to move him. But even if it wasn’t the role he wanted, he understood why it didn’t change as much as he hoped. “I didn’t expect anything else. Luka (Dončić) does a phenomenal job and Kyrie (Irving) and all those guys get you open looks and you just gotta knock them down,” Williams said. “And no matter if it’s on time, off time, you have to be able to knock them down if you’re a good shooter. And I thought I did a decent job, shot like 36 percent when I was there. “But knowing the caliber of shooter I am, I’m still frustrated with myself this season. But I think that down there, I still talked, the same vocal guy. I think they were receptive, I just got to keep my performances high so I can do that.” -via The Athletic / April 2, 2024

So, absences could redirect the plans, but Kerr is sending an early warning sign that Kuminga, who started 29 consecutive games before the knee issue, could be initially returning to a bench role. “We’ve established something here for years: If we’re playing well, we’ll generally keep the same starting lineup,” Kerr said. “I’ve kept Steph (Curry) and Draymond out of the starting lineup when they’ve been in that situation.” -via The Athletic / April 5, 2024
Anthony Slater: Steph Curry celebrated a foul call tonight pretty outwardly: “I was just happy to get a call that was pretty obvious. There was one last game where there’s a still shot of Gafford all across my arms.” pic.twitter.com/gZZ4uItMwz -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / April 5, 2024
During Luka Doncic’s morning shootaround interview with two reporters, I asked Doncic whether Caitlin Clark’s play reminds him of, well, him. “She’s more Stephen Curry than me. She’s the woman Steph Curry.” Doncic thought for a moment and added: “She can shoot it better than me.” -via Dallas Morning News / April 3, 2024
