Why you hate Nuggets and Joker so much? They are quite a likeable team tbh.
Moderators: Dirk, HMFFL, Mavrelous

In a potential WCF matchup, i fear Wolves more than Denver. They are covered on every single position (offense and defense). And i honestly don't know how Mavs could overcome that. Obviously depends which version of Luka shows up but Wolves have a scary all around team.

That's crazy. Some players really can be productive in Europe, but suck in the NBA. He was so bad for the Mavs that he had to "retire from the NBA".
Lets hope Exum finds something because he's looking like Camazzo a bit too much.

I'm of the opposite opinion, I think the Wolves are significantly easier to defend than the Nuggets, they defend the Mavs better than the Nuggets, but not enough to offset.
If Mavs make it out of the this series in 6, I have them favourites against the Wolves, but underdogs against the Nuggets.

I would rather have Nuggets. They're more or less similarly good, but potentially beating Champions would be much more satisfying.

I don't have them as similarly good, especially for the Mavs.
Conference finals start Wednesday, May 22nd, if Mavs fail to win game 6, they'll have to win game 7 in OKC on Monday and travel straight to DEN or MIN.

But let's win game 6 first.

Yeah, I don't want to jinx it.
For this series, Luka is sucking in Dort, Kyrie is sucking in JDub, and whoever of them is running the P&R he's sucking in extra help, Mavs are playing 3 on 2.5, usually going at SGA/Giddy, that's why they are able score well.
On the other end, Kyrie has defended JDub really really well.
Even without big numbers, Kyrie and Luka are very impactful.

Hm, interesting. Wolves have McDaniels, ANT and maybe someone else they could rotate to defend Kyrie/Luka combo. Plus, they have KAT/Gobert to cover the paint. Matchup wise, Wolves would be a nightmare from that perspective. And we know Naz turns into Dirk anytime Mavs play them.
Nuggets on the other hand have nothing for Luka or Kyrie. With Murray also being injured, Kyrie probably wouldn't have a difficult job defending him. Joker is good enough on his own to win games but overall, you stop MPJ and Gordon and you're already in a good spot. Murray basically cancelled himself out lol...

No situation I want to see for the Mavs
