Jokic won one versus the Warriors this postseason. The Grizzlies won one without Morant vs Warriors this postseason (and another with Morant). Even Trae Young won 2 games vs the eventual NBA champs Milwaukee Bucks last year in the ECF.
It all depends on how much fight is left in them, and if the Dubs have already broken their spirit. Luka is going to fight, that's for sure. Question is can the others make shots and come along for the ride? They have to play just about a perfect game, and hope GS misses shots and turns the ball over which they are prone to do sometimes. Funny someone on here mentioned that this wouldn't be too hard, because the Mavs beat them 3-1 during the regular season. I wonder what that person has to say now? You throw the regular season out the window playoff time. Dallas had a good year, and reached heights no one expected. But this should be a great learning experience for them going forward, after acquiring the right players hopefully next year.
