Long season though. I don’t listen to the inside the nba tnt guys for Harford nba analysis but did they totally skip over the Mavs when discussing the Thunder being the clear cut favorites? I was fast forwarding but Chuck mentioned Phx, Memphis being the dark horse, the lakes stink, etc. I didn’t hear him even mention the mavs. It was a 3 pt game at halftime.
Chuck has never repped the Mavs in their discussions on the best teams in the West. Shaq has rolled with them, and Kenny and Ernie are on the fence. Chuck's thing is, he doesn't think Dallas is good enough defending the perimeter. He may have a point. While they have decent defenders in Lively, PJ, Klay, (on occasion), and Grimes, he also looks at Kyrie and Luka as poor defenders. He always harks back to how Boston got and did what they wanted in Finals in a gentleman's sweep.
