Irving struggled in the first two games of the NBA Finals but will have to play better if the Mavs want to stay alive
for Game 5 and see them there. Facing a 2-0 deficit, it was a bold claim to make for the former Celtic, but a Game 4 win extended the series another game and the Mavs will play in Boston Monday night.
That's the first obstacle Irving had to overcome, now he has to beat the Celtics in Boston, not only to extend the series back to Dallas but to help him silence his self-doubt."I think in order to silence even the self-doubt, let alone the crowd doubt. When you make or miss shots that's just as important as leading the team in the right way.
For Dallas to overcome the 3-1 deficit, it starts with Kyrie playing at his absolute best. Many will remember him in this position in 2016 with the Cleveland Cavaliers when he scored 41 points to help guide the team to victory on the road against a historically good team. They'd go on to win that series as he hit one of the more iconic shots in NBA history. He just has to take it one game further, since the Mavs initially started down 3-0.
