Dan S is a smart dude. But the logic of this small part of his post eludes me.
I doubt the series comes down to any of the guys mentioned above. What I expect to happen is one of these scenarios:
1. Luka is the best player on the court. But not by enough. And Mavs don’t look competitive in the minutes he sits out. Suns in 5 or 6.
2. Luka is the best player on the court. By miles and miles and miles. Mavs win in 6 or 7.
3. Luka is the best player on the court. Jalen continues to shock the world by outplaying everyone whose initials aren’t Luka Doncic. Mavs in 5.
