It seems like it could bode well for the Mavs that they don't rely too much on transition points, when those are hard to come by in the playoffs.
OTOH, the big question is still likely to be if the role players can step up around Luka, when opposing defenses get much tighter. Can Brunson improve from his disappointing first playoffs? Can Dinwiddie do what KP couldn't and lead the offense with Luka resting? Can DFS, Bullock, Green, and Maxi hit enough open 3s when we need them?
