I think most of the games will be about who can make critical shots in crunch time. Dallas is much better this season than I thought they would be when the season started. They seem much more confident now. I think they are much better in pressure situations, and I think they have the right attitude.
I'm not sure we have enough depth to keep our energy up late in games, and I don't believe we can win a seventh game on their home court. But it does surprise me to think we could get that far now. And if we do, then... anything can happen.
Agree with you that confidence is very important. Who do you think will be more confident in this matchup, Mikal Bridges or the guy who was the alpha on his team only a few years back?
Mikal on Jalen: “I just know he knows if he was the dude with the ball more in his hands, he’s going to dominate,” Bridges said. “I know that, as well. Just to see that coming to light when Luka was out for a couple games and (Brunson) literally going bonkers, I was literally just like, ‘That’s who he is.'” https://arizonasports.com/story/3127364/...n-brunson/
