2021-2022 AROUND the NBA: GSW Champs [ARCHIVED]

I don't recall being all that hopeful we'd beat the Lakers prior to the series starting.  Then suddenly we played well and they imploded.

IIRC, all the NBA talking heads had DAL as the team "everybody wanted to play" because they thought the Mavs were old, soft and beatable. 

But you could see the confidence growing with each playoff success and once they got up 3-2 on MIA you could feel it in the air.

DAL was 3-0 agains PHX this season. Two were on consecutive November games in PHX and the last was in late Jan. We all remember how out of sync the team was in November and the late January game was just getting Luka back and working through COVID issues.

PHX is good, but so is DAL. And they haven't played THIS DAL team, yet.

How's that for a little homerism on a Sunday?
