Boston just better
They are. And there is no shame in that. They are one of the most talented teams of all time. The Mavs were one 2-way starter level wing away from being favored in this.
Their bench just didn't have it either.
THJ was horrible. I made a comment back in January that the Mavs were emphatically better off if THJ disappeared. And that was largely true. But it's apparent that this team needs some sort of steadying offensive presence off the bench. THJ isn't that. Maxi/Green/Exum are too situational although very valuable.
I for one am amazed the team stuck together and got this far. I know we're disappointed, but I'm really emboldened that this team is really just 1 and a half guys away from being a title favorite.
