I, too, feel pretty good about the coming series.
The Kleber injury is going to hurt, and I am fairly worried about Luka’s knee, as he is going to be forced to guard smaller, faster players in bigger areas of space in this series. if it weren’t for those two things, I would feel very, very confident that the Mavs were heading towards the Western Conference finals.
I am a little curious what the approach will be – I halfway think it might be behoove the Mavericks to slow this one down, rather than play faster as they have recently. This is because size and strength are undoubtably their biggest advantages against OKC and I think the offensive glass is their friend. Just something I’m pondering, not a full take yet.
