I’m not saying that will always be successful, or that the Mavs will reach a point where they don’t feel they have anyone to play center, but in a seven game series against a good team with the ability to extend their center position to the perimeter, I am pretty confident that Kleber will be missed at some point.
Agree with all, which is why I think they should really consider starting Lively. His quickness advantage over Gafford will be really important in this series, especially if no Maxi. Let Gafford dominate the second unit.
