The Dallas Mavericks won their series in six games with
the Minnesota Timberwolves,
needed seven and a win in Denver.
Are we going to get that same same type of
spark back?
Because that's what I'm sort of fighting with.
Are we going to get a Mavericks team that's more
resting and ready and the Timberwolves just happy to be
here in game number one,
or is this going to be one of those?
You know what? We'll take that Game 7 momentum and
roll it right over into game number one.
I think the biggest thing I'm taking about this,
Donnie, I'm like you. I'm,
I'm kind of flipping back and forth in regards to
how I feel about this.
The thing that makes most important sense to me with
Dallas is all their games pretty much were close,
right? So they're going to keep this game close to
the vest,
they're going to walk the ball up the floor and
they're going to lean on their defense.
Now both teams are saying defensively,
that's why you see this total as low as it
is,
and I still think there's a chance it could go
under,
to be honest with you.
So for me, because of the way a Dallas plays
defensively,
walks them off the floor.
I'm actually leaving right now.
Dallas, plus the points, Minnesota four and one versus Dallas
this year,
all before the trades of Gafford and PJ Washington.
They're completely different teams. I think Dallas game number one
with a little bit of that hangover effect of winning
game seven in Denver plus 4 1/2 right now is
where I'm leaning with the Dallas Mavericks.
