Like all Mavs fans I am bummed we have lost 3 games. I was really angry after the first one when we somehow blew layups on our way to losing a game we should have won.
A few things keep me from losing it. If we must suffer the loss of Luka for some games due to Austin Rivers being as usual out of control, clumsy and an awful player then it is for 3 games we would not have been favored in anyway. Get Luka some rest and rehab. As others have said this time is good for evaluation of and experience for our guys.
Referring to my and Dick Motta’s theory on 20 game set consistency we can still get to 12 and 8 by going 5and 5 though we would have to win 3 of the next 4. That would be a good response from this pain and is doable.
I also think the pain of our mistakes killing us might turn out to be good. The pain might drive our guys to step up and make the winning plays and quit making the plays that get us beat.
