2024 NBA Season

[stadus]

Guys, I've been looking at some data from the games between Dallas and Warriors...
Even though the GSW are not the same team from the previous season, do you imagine they can beat the Mavericks 4-0??
Or will Dallas can win 1 or maybe 2 games in these series?

What is your opinion!!?

ps: although in the last game, Luka was on fire and scored 42 points

Experience-wise, this series may go 4-0. Luka is okay, but his teammates look to be in panic with the Warriors' defense. Their normal three-point percentage went low. Dinwiddie stepped up his game today but still not enough. Bullock and Finney-Smith should also do the same but we didn't see that. Worse, Bullock was 0 point and 0-7 at outside shots before and after he was hurt with the collision against Wiggins.
Speaking of Wiggins, that guy is legit. He was overrated in the Draft as they said but now he is showing why. I guess just having a good team is what he needed for his skills to come out.

Wiggins is actually good, it's just that he hasn't found a good team before, but now that he is with the Warriors, he is willing to play on the role the coaching staff will give to him, which makes him better and the Warriors team in overall. This series will not go 6 games, if Dallas wins game 4, the Warriors will certainly end this in 5.

He was the best player next to curry in that game, his aggressiveness really help the Warriors beat the Mavericks. Thompson as well though struggle early in the game but he was able to provide some important contribution in the 4th quarter, and we cannot forget Poole who made a cold blooded 3 when the Mavericks tried to have their own run.

I agree it seems that he found his home with the Warriors right now and rediscover how good he really was. Anyone see that massive dunk he did against Luka? although the referee killed but one of the best dunk (together with his dunk against KAT). I doubt that Dallas can bounce back, no one does. Maybe they will got 1 win but that's it.

That was a good poster dunk, it should be an "and 1", but refs called it an offensive foul, good thing coach Kerr challenged it and it was successful.
Luka was good but he got tired because he was the only who is very consistent, unlike the Warriors where everyone was really doing their job.

I doubt that Dallas can bounce back, no one does. Maybe they will got 1 win but that's it.

They'll never bounce back, unless they'll make a history.

4-0? There is a chance but I don't think that it will happen and I expect them to get at least 1 win before getting eliminated.
I think the Dallas can get that win if only Bullock helped the team offensively. After getting 21 points in Game 2, he got 0 points in Game 3 and 0/7 in the 3 pt. line and another problem with him is that he played 40 minutes in this game and yet he didn't get any point at all which is very disappointing if you are a Mavs fan. Not blaming him though.

Brunson, Dinwiddie and Luka did help them offensively but the Warriors are just too much for them. You don't know who will step up when you are playing against them. We rarely see Wiggins scoring 25+ points this playoffs but now he got 27 and 11 rebounds. I expected this series to end in at least 6 games but I didn't expect that it might end in 4 .

Well, no team has ever lost after leading 3-0 (146-0) in the playoffs in the history of NBA so maybe we can say that this is over already but still I can't move on to that Wiggins' poster dunk on Luka. The referees tried to spoil that poster by calling it as an offensive foul LOL. Best dunk of 2022 NBA Playoffs

Too much-wasted possessions from Mavericks and hesitations got them good this time + I haven't seen anything like when you cross over you are the one who fell. Damn! Brunson was having the rubbish play of his life due to his dribbling skill tonight and you also have Reggie Bullock who was supposed to be one of the scorers in this series but he is shooting 0% and scored nothing in this game. They are destined to lose this game and it might be a sweep against them in their next game plus the posterize against Luka by Wiggins was the time they realized that they are against a championship team.

https://www.facebook.com/the.buzz.nba/posts/5287363208037746

You can watch it here.

That successful contest really gives Wiggins more confidence that the whole team is on his back.

Posterizing Luka send a message that Warriors are not like Phoenix. They are here for business and they have that capability to
sweep their opponent.

They already did that if I remember it right way back against Blazers, not sure though if that's a conference finals or a semi
Finals from the west side. Great win for the Dub fans!

That's what I have been saying, the Warriors can't be compare to the Suns.

And for that reason, maybe some of us here thinks that the Mavs can steal this game at their homecourt. But Warriors are not going to allow it, they will allow Luka to have the ball and score, but the Warriors are going to stop their bench from scoring. And then Curry will take over, he not only shoot the ball from a distance, he is also now a threat as he keeps on going inside to get fouled or easy two.

The warriors play hard every game, although sometimes Curry struggle but that does not affect their team overall as there are players who will step up. Just like in game 3, Wiggins stepped up and the offense of the Warriors has become less unpredictable unlike the offense of the Mavericks who are just focused on Luka.

If by any chance Mavs managed to win 2 straight games against the Warriors, that might be a good achievement. I'm also

not seeing any chance that Mavs can upset Warriors in this series, not unless Jason Kidd will find the best combination that

will matchup with the Warriors types of game. Both defense and offense of Warriors are terrific, outscoring mostly their opponents

in the 2nd half and maintain the type of games till the final buzzer.

Wiggins isn't a 1 guy.  With step and klay on the court he has no pressure to hold up a team.  Wiggins is decent but he is a wing man he needs a couple peoe better than him to shine so the defense doesn't game plan around him.

I could see the mavs winning one.  Steph already said next game is house money so they might get caught flat footed, to take it back home.  But no way this series goes more than 5.  Luka needs a running mate.

[Dart18]

Game 4 later. Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat at TD Garden. I am worried about riding the train for the Miami Heat as Jimmy Butler is questionable to play.
It's a big thing as he can run both offense and defense whenever they need it. Maybe betting for the Celtics will be wiser decision as they can take advantage of this and do a lot of damage.

What side are you in?

Golden State is done, the series is not likely to return anymore. The series returning from 3-0 didn't happen in history. Dallas had a slight chance, but they failed. They started the game with a very bad shot. Three-pointers were always inaccurate. At the end of the game, they seemed to catch up, but when Poole made the final three, it was over. Doncic, you're going to be a great player, but you need a better rotation to come along. He couldn't carry any more on his own.

You mean Mavericks is done. Yep, that might be the case. I don't see any room for an adjustment anymore. They keep on changing the way the ball rotates but the result is always the same. Or maybe there's one more. Powell and and Kleber playing at the same time. Did Jason Kidd ever tried that?
Control the paint with big men and high flyers and try to foul out Draymond as early as possible and also Andrew Wiggins. That's all their winning chance because Wiggins had been extraordinary at defending Doncic, it could be a change to free him and go monster.

The result of the Mavericks - Warriors game last night surprised me a lot honestly. Because I was very hopeful about Mavericks to bring the score of the series to 2-1 and increase the competition level. But Warriors had another solid game against them and won in Dallas too. Actually the same trio played awesome for Mavericks in this game. Doncic got even 40 points too. But their main problem was that they couldn't get a proper contribution from the rest of the players. Warriors played better as for team play and won by 109-100. As the series is 3-0 now, Mavericks have a very difficult job to do. Maybe they would win once or twice but I don't expect more than that.

The Warriors are too quick with their ball movement already.  They've been exposing the Mavericks' defense a little bit in this series.  It looks to me like they've been toying with them a bit even.  I'm seeing Wiggins get a ton of shots and way more activity on the ball.  I would say that they're using this series to get his confidence up and let him play a larger role on the team's offense.  Whether this is to show him what could be if he took less money to stick with the team, or they think he has a mismatch in this series they're trying to take advantage of, I'm not sure.  I do think the next series will look different and we'll see an unleashed Steph Curry go for a Finals MVP.

The second game of the Warriors - Mavericks series was last night and I was confident about Warriors to win this game also. And they didn't make me surprised by doing so. But this time there were a much better Mavericks playing against them. Doncic and Brunson had an insane performance each. Doncic had 42 points and Brunson had 31. Only two them scored many more than the half of their total points. For Warriors, Curry had a good performance by 32 points and the reason why they still won was that they got point contribution from more players compared to their opponent.

Yeah right. I guess its one of the advantages that the Warriors have because all the players have good contribution to win as a team, and that thing is lacking on the side of Mavs as Doncic has made all the effort with the help of Brunson but the rest of their teammates have shown not so good performance that made their team beaten by Warriors. But i must say, Mavericks has become braver and stronger than before, that i even come to think that they can beat Warriors if they have gone lucky enough.

The problem with Mavs is they centered their offense on Luka and if this man let say struggle they collapsed and also if he's on fire he's teammates didn't contribute very well also compare to GSW where the ball rotates to until to the vacant guy on the floor. So Their coach should look after with that because if they didn't do any much adjustment towards the offensive settings of Warriors they will be wiped out totally on this conference finals series.

[Yogee]

Herro will miss out game 4 due to a strained left groin. He hasn't played well so far in this series and I was glad he was taken out in the fourth quarter in game 3 because of his poor shot selections. Other key players for both teams were also listed as questionnable or probable so this is most likely going to be Adebayo vs. Celtics.

[Velvet78]

It seems like Warriors are almost finishing up their series as they got 3-0 ahead last night. It was an unexpected result to me because I expected to see a much more solid Mavericks in this one. But they were still not good enough defensively. Doncic - Brunson - Dinwiddie trio were great once again but they still couldn't make it. And this result might have dropped their morale quite much now. After having an enormous advantage like this, I wouldn't expect much from Mavericks. Warriors should be able to finish the series by 4-2 at worst.

[barbara44]

Warriors did played like expected. To be fair they didn't play like this before and that was the shocking part. I didn't see Curry dominating the games, I didn't see him shooting 10+ threes per game or anything like that. This series all of them became better and they are playing marvellously.

Mavs didn't had a chance and I didn't even expected them to get here, so it is definitely a good thing that they at least reached Conference Finals. Remember that they have Luka doncic at only 23 years old right now, and they haven't built a good team around him just yet, get another star and they will be amazing. It's all about Celtics vs Heat from now on.

Yeah, that was already 3-0 and no team has ever come back from 3-0 deficit, so for sure it's not gonna last more than 5 games. Mavericks are still not adjusting, they are still playing using Luka as their heavy lifter, and we know that kind of basketball will never be effective against the Warriors who played teamwork basketball.
