"Steph Curry heard all the Luka Doncic praise and he took it PERSONAL": Kendrick Perkins backpedals on his favorites in Warriors - Mavs series and gets torched by Dub Nation

Warriors might send Luka Doncic and the Mavs packing after Game 4 after stealing their first game on the road by a 109-100 scoreline.

The Golden State Warriors have taken a giant leap toward making it to their 6th final appearance in the last 8 years after taking Game 3 from the Mavericks in Dallas.

On Sunday evening, with a 2-0 lead in the series and knowing the fact how unbreakable Mavs are in their home, the Dubs came in with a mission to neutralize their opponents before they try to make it a series.

Luka Doncic and Co were able to do that against the Phoenix Suns time and time again in the conference semifinals. They lost every road game and were able to fend off the Suns in each of their games at American Airlines Center before the Game 7 which the Suns historically blew in Phoenix.

But that’s not going to happen in Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson’s presence.


The trio is way too experienced to lose a series up 3-0, after all, they have learned their lesson at the cost of a championship in 2016.

Kendrick Perkins backpedals on his earlier takes on Stephen Curry and Luka Doncic

Irrespective of the fact that the #3 team of the West is playing against the team that just destroyed the #1 team, people have the Warriors taking this series in 4-games.

At least ESPN’s Stephen B. Smith, pardon, I mean to say Kendrick Perkins has flipped all over again to call this series a sweep after doubting them to even be the favorites in this one before the series started. He also reflected upon people saying Doncic at 23 is already better than Curry, and the latter took it personally.

Some in Dubs Nation remembered his old take and torched him after he sent that tweet out.

Most were busy celebrating the win that has put them in the pole position to get to the 2022 NBA Finals.
