I'll add one more thing, and I'm happy to be wrong:
The Mavs, despite adding all of this size that everyone is so excited about with Gafford, are about to get killed on the glass in this series. Giving all of the non-Lively minutes to Gafford is EXACTLY what the Wolves and Gobert want. It's playing right into their hands. The Mavs don't have any other choice, unfortunately, but if they lose this series I'll always wonder what might've been if that Kleber/Washington lineup, which I believe is their best this year, was available. Nothing makes me happier than to see big, slow guys try to defend 4 different areas of the court on one possession.
