The thing is Mavs fans don’t think they’re the best team in the west and unstoppable they just feel like they have a chance and shouldn’t be disrespected which I agree.

You guys did not consider how the Mavs abused Gobert to the point he is a glaring weakness in their Utah Jazz playoff series. They just pull him out in the perimeter through switches then Brunson, Luka or Spencer gonna cook him if his team will leave him alone in an island. This can be done aswell with KAT.

Thoughts of ECF and WCF: 1. Zone defense could be a huge factor in both series. 2. The injury status of Kleber could be huge in WCF because of the size issue MIN can give to DAL 3. IND is not a ECF level team, but their offense is beautiful to watch, want to see the Celtics show their great offense&defensive versatilities and execution in G3 against IND in the regular season. 4. JKidd looks like a great playoff coach, curious to see how can he overcome the size issue that MIN brings, expecting lots of 2-3, 3-2, 1(corner)-4(box) zones.

One thing i think y'all aren't giving thought is if the Wolves wanna play 1 on 1 on Kyrie and Luka is Dallas will play pnr and do they really want Gobert or KAT 1 on 1 on an island with either guy and then if they get hot it'll make PJ and DJJ shots way more open. It's a tough series for either team but i think this element kinda gives Dallas something over the Wolves.

The league's talents are just so great and balanced, maybe the greatest since mid 1980s. 3. For the remain 4 teams with their young best player, the Celtics have gone through the most, I think this is their year. 4.

[@davidsettles2920]

I'm sorry but saying the Pacers are a fluke is the opinion of someone that doesn't watch ball. They've been a top offense all year long. Before game 7, they were attempting 31.0 wide open shots per game. The gap between them and the 2nd most wide open FGA/g among the remaining teams (OKC - 21.6) was greater than the gap between 2nd and last (BOS - 14.4). In game 7, you saw them making those wide open shots they've been consistently creating. If Boston isn't careful, the Pacers could upset them. Also, speaking of injuries, we just gonna ignore that the Pacers have been without Mathurin since March? He was averaging 14.5ppg before he got hurt.
