Celtics are the better team but the Mavs have the best player with a very good supporting cast. Usually, in that situation, the team with the better player wins. This was the situation MJ faced, for example, in all of his first three titles.
The bottom line for this game, the Mavs held Boston to 38% shooting from the three and 107 points. Thats a solid performance I’ll take every time against the number 1 offense. But the Mavs offense was infantile when it’s going to need to be great. It has been since Carlisle left. They were number 1 with Carlisle, have better players now, but haven’t touched those heights. The scheme is too simple. Kidd has done a great job with defense, development, and culture, but he needs to bring in an offensive coordinator in the off season. It’s their number 1 need, greater than any need on the roster.
