Mavericks’ Kyrie Irving has reporters wondering if….

The Mavericks star has a point when he talks about the injury issues he’s dealt with over recent seasons.

If the Mavericks are getting a finally healthy Irving next to the otherworldly Luka Doncic, Dallas could be a scary team to face in the NBA playoffs this year.

On Monday, Stephen A. Smith was asked if Irving and Doncic were a scarier duo than Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray of the Denver Nuggets, and he chose the Mavericks pair – with a catch:

“I’m gonna go with Kyrie [Irving] and Luka [Doncic] the scariest. I didn’t say better,” Smith said Monday on ESPN First Take. ” I know Jokic and Murray are better. But Kyrie Irving and Luka, when you consider what they are capable of doing… There should be nothing that’s more scarier than that. Because when those two get rolling, you can’t stop them. There’s no defensive scheme, there’s no answer for them.”
