But that one was funny.
I'm not quite to that level of doom and gloom though. It depends on who the injury is to.
I think that the Mavs can probably handle one frontcourt injury that puts a player out for two or more games - one of Landlord, DLive, PJ, DJJ, or Maxi. I think they are cooked if it's two injuries.
Backcourt is another story. If one of the three of Luka, Kyrie, or Exum (and yes, I understand those three aren't created equal) goes down for two or more games, the Mavs' playoff run will be rather abruptly done. I just don't think they are built to come anywhere close to surviving that in the competitive Western Conference playoffs.
