Boban was asked to do so much more than he was capable of in that series, solely because all the other role players couldn't score. He shot nearly 10 FGA a game, which was 3x more than what he did in the regular season.
Boban is good in small doses and against teams that can't punish him. Mavs were forced to use him more and against a team that could punish him as much as they wanted because everyone else laid an egg.
Also Boban (.519 EFG% ranked 9th) was closer to Luka (.569 EFG% ranked 3rd) than to Josh Richardson (0.446 EFG%, ranked 10th), so yeah he was the 2nd lowest in terms of EFG% amongst rotation guys but he wasn't terrible.
I think the biggest takeaway from all of this was how terrible Richardson was...
