Lovely. Next I want someone to say Mavs will be swept for even more motivation.
Indeed.
Remember that we're a slight favorite because the non "experts" on ESPN will say some dumb gibberish.

Our frontcourt needs to play at a high level. I doubt any of us are concerned about our backcourt with Luka and Kyrie.

Do you think they will let George or Kawhi guard Luka while throwing Westbrook at Kyrie? (They will hide defensive black hole Harden for sure...)

On paper, I feel that might give us some trouble...

I'm not worried about Luka or Kyrie because a younger Kawhi and PG couldn't guard Luka by himself when he didn't have a #2 great scorer (Porzingis give me a break he choked) now in their 30's how are they going to guard Luka and Kyrie?

The thing about it is we know Luka and Kyrie will give us 50 maybe 60 a game, but Kawhi and PG are going them 50. They sorta cancel each other out. The key is going to players like PJ Washington for us and Harden for them.

Key is Gafford and Lively average 8+ dunks per game.

Agree.

No mercy for Kawhi after what the Clips did against Luka in the last 2 PO series.

Only defensively.
Luka and Kyrie need to be like Dirk and take the defense to another level in the POs.

I feel like LAC will add a lot to this graph. Kidd needs to be ready and Kyrie as well.

Because KP is an overrated bum.

2021 KP was on a max contract, Luka was still on a rookie contract. Luka helps us get a 3-2 lead over the Clippers. We end up losing Game 6 by 7 points. KP gives us, 7 points. SEVEN? If he shows up that game we win the series. Was it too much to ask for a guy on a max contact to score more than 7 points and it was in our house. He averaged only 13 for the series when his regular season average was 20. BTW Luka dropped 46 in Game 7 and we still lost that one too. People that blame Luka for losing those series don't understand the word context, the third best player was Tim Hardaway Jr. Those were not good Mavs teams.

Luka 20yo alone (KP not showed up and Brunson was unplayable) battled against Kawhi and PG13 in their prime. That's insane.

He deserves revenge. Ice cold revenge.

Return to Dallas Mavericks
