LThe data made it clear: lhe Dallas Mavericks had ‘busted’ the math after giving up the first game at home before Golden State Warriors (3-0). Based on their shooting quality they had an 83% chance of winning, with a quality better than the Warriors themselves, as reported from ‘ShotQuality‘. Added to this was a stellar Doncic, with better percentages (11-23 TC). But their attack was clouded and they fell. They touch the abyss.
The question is focused on knowing if they will be able to fight the construction of new Warriors with champion projection. Obviously, they are not the team that had the ‘prime’ version of Durant, Curry and Thompson, but they are not far apart. From the United States they are considered a new dynasty. “We have never been erased from the best. Toronto beat us, but nobody came and said we were doneDraymond Green said.
and in your own american press they think so too. “The Warriors created a series of young players for two years to give the heart of their team a new opportunity to reach the highest peaks. This year, the Warriors they have resembled those champion teams, and no one has been able to take that status away from them dynastic”, they analyze on the ‘ESPN’ portal.
Are there reasons to believe in the Mavs?
Thus, neither in the statistical nor the emotional section gives the Mavs the slightest option. What’s more, no one has ever come back from 3-0 down. It is impossible, with all the letters. But there’s reason to believe the Mavs will fight. First, no beatings have been seen from his side. Second, raising the foreign accuracy everything could change.
Logic dictates that the Warriors will finish the series in one or two games, but Dallas has proven to be a team with heart when it has been played to be eliminated. He was in both experiences against the Clippers, he was against the Suns and against Golden State he will show that work. Concentration, preventing Curry and the ‘snipers’ from connecting and accuracy have to be essential elements. And Doncic, but Doncic is not discussed.
The Doncic Factor
Luka Doncic is the differential player in the NBA. Without going any further, in the games in which he is at risk of being eliminated, he averages around 40 points. He has played several and has never disappointed. It does not predict that he will win the Warriors alone, but as a competitive element he must be of the first order. And it is a reality because if we add his results when he plays, the Mavs always win over the Warriors. The thing… he doesn’t play alone.
In the series against the Warriors he has had ‘picks’ with Curry, as evidenced when the ’30’ sent the Dallas fans to sleep. He repeated gesture in the Playoffs and that, curiously, when they made one of the biggest fools in NBA history, against the Grizzlies, he didn’t show up. Curiously.
Seeing the three qualifying games, it is logical to believe that the ‘massacre’ of the Warriors will be total and absolute, sooner or later. But the Mavs have it in their power to delay the dynasty that changed the NBA from the ‘triple dictatorship’ to dominate again with an iron hand. But it will be with the Warriors’ own medicine: with success, physicality and offensive play.
