GAME 2 2024 Playoffs: Dallas Mavericks (0-1) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (1-0)

[fifteenth]

we need a third star player to beat OKC... 

I think we need good team defense (ending the with rebounds), Luka to be 75% Luka and not hurt, 35% Luka, and for several of PJ, Lively, Gafford, DJJ, Josh, Timmy or Exum to make some shots. We need some of the shots at the rim to go down, we need some of the guard/forward threes to go down and it would help a ton if some of PJ's and Timmy's twos to go down. 

Too obvious to post? 

I guess I'm beginning to feel like that if the Mavs play the game described above, which is the game we've seen about 5 times in the playoffs so far this year, that the Mavs can beat anyone. 

Not get too far ahead, but I'm excited to see what this roster can do with a healthy Luka and a full season together. But I should save that talk for July.
