I really love the optimism here, everybody thinking about the 2nd round matchups and so on, but let's first get out of the first round. Whoever the Mavs get in the first round, it won't be an easy matchup, heck I would have them as the team that is most likely to lose the HCA...
As fat as the opponents go, I would prefer Utah. We have seen Gobert struggle with smaller lineups in the past postseasons, also the Gobert-Mitchell chemistry is a big factor here IMO. The Mavs would have the best player in the series and as we all have seen in the previous PO, that's a huge factor.
And that is the reason why I am afraid of Denver.I know they are hobbled with injuries, but Jokic is enough to scare me.
