But ultimately the Mavs just do not have the players. We need a starting center. We need at least one more 3&D wing who won't be a complete zero on offense. We need Luka to understand better when to take over because guys are tight and bricking everything.
I think the biggest difference between this series and the previous two is the coaching level of the opposing coach. Kerr is just on another level to Williams/Snyder. We were able to overcome the other two teams due Doncic/Brunson, superior coaching and some timely overperformances by role players like Dinwiddie or Kleber. Talent-wise we should not have won either series (considering how many games Luka missed in round one). I specifically think Snyder is an awful play-off coach and that´s the reason the Jazz suck in the postseason every year.
