2024 Playoffs- 4th Round: Boston Celtics - Dallas Mavericks

[Smitty]

Sorry, but I think you missed my whole point. 

I never remotely said anything at all about a desire to "be right." I even said "I hope I'm wrong" and "I've come around on this." 

I'm worried that the superior style will win the series. If it's NOT the superior style, I'll be the happiest fan here. And, to my mind, Luka and Kyrie are so superior as PLAYERS, compared to Tatum and Brown, that the ONLY reason Boston is favored is that basketball people think their style is superior. Again, I sure hope the Mavs' approach wins out, and I've even stuck with my prediction. I don't know how much clearer I could be. 

Just musing on what's worrying me, as a Mavs fan, ahead of the NBA finals.

I think it was the rooting against yourself part that made my reply start with “not about being right”. It wasn’t a shot at you or anything. You’re the loudest voice here and your desire for 5-out has long been established. I can tell that it’s an internal battle for you is all.
