Kyrie Irving said late in the season that the Mavs were just getting started. He was right

Kyrie Irving was not making a threat, nor was he boasting, nor was he saying anything that would be considered outlandish. It was the final week of the regular season. He and the Dallas Mavericks had just clinched a division title and Irving was asked to talk about what that means. He didn’t look back. He looked ahead and said the Mavs were just getting started. Turns out, he was right. The Mavericks spent most of February and March looking destined for the play-in tournament. But they figured things out just in time, and a trip to the NBA Finals is their reward.
