GAME 1 2024 Playoffs: Dallas Mavericks (0-0) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (0-0)

[LifeAquatic]

Luka is clearly not right. He's not even decelerating like he could before, which goes back to the knee. I don't like that the coaching staff keeps saying he's fine, but then Luka himself will say its not good.  Also, the loss of Maxi hurts the bench and takes away 6 more big man fouls on defense. Could use Dante stepping up at some point, where has he gone in the playoffs?

Just may be a bad luck postseason, as Mavs are going nowhere without a healthy Luka no matter if he plays hobbled or sits. And, I don't see a sprained knee magically getting better with games every other day moving forward. Hope I'm wrong...
