It is just picking their opponent which the Mavs fans think will be relatively easier compared to the Clippers. All the playoff games are tough. But a little luck can help go from a better way. Here the luck is Murray’s being out.I get that and think Den MIGHT be the easier matchup, but I’m not of the opinion that this is their year to get out of the first round either way. Both teams are VERY familiar with playoff basketball, our team is still working those kinks out.
If they do make it out, I’ll be extremely happy and kinda surprised. Some act as though it’s a foregone conclusion and a dark spot if they don’t. I hope for a hard fought 7 game series, unless we win, then I hope for as few games as possible.
The rest thing also is something I don’t think people get. I don’t think a week fully clears up the tired, beat up feeling these guys have. It for sure helps, and I also don’t think a couple more days rest (by sitting them today) is a big help to that, but the more time resting the better for these guys...ESPECIALLY Luka.
