Let’s go fellow MFFL’ers. Bring on the Thunder.
I just don’t see how the Thunder’s young squad will be able to hang with the Mavericks. I’m fully expecting a Mavs vs. Nuggets, and Celtics vs. Knicks Conference Finals.
The only competition that scared me in the West for the Mavs was a healthy Clippers squad and the Nuggets. Going to speak it into existence, it’s the Mavs year.

OKC is a much better match up for Dallas than LAC, DEN, or MIN. Young, yet talented guards for OKC will have to be great every single game vs Kyrie and Luka.
Dallas has a few guys who can give Shai a hard time with PJ, Jones, Green.
Gafford and Lively should be able to get their looks inside against Chet. They should overpower him, but he will stretch them out for an occasional 3.
There are two guys on OKC that Luka can guard and not be a complete mismatch against him...Neither Dort or Giddey will go right past him at will. LA had George, Westbrook, Harden, Mann, Powell...all those guys were really difficult for Luka to guard (he played pretty dang good defense overall though).
If Dallas makes it through OKC, I think they lose to either Denver or Minnesota. Denver is too complete. Great defenders, shooters, playmakers. Minnesota is just so big and long...they will disrupt Luka and Kyrie off the dribble.

Okc is young but they’re a well oiled machine. They hustle, play defense, and play team ball. When things break down, Shai is a monster that will put the team on his back. The clippers are like the anti Thunder. They don’t like to run, everyone just kinda waits their turn with the ball, offense is random when it’s not a harden PnR. They don’t hustle. Speaking of Harden, he’s not that guy anymore.
