GAME 6 Playoffs 2024: Oklahoma City Thunder (2-3) vs. Dallas Mavericks (3-2)

[HoosierDaddyKid]

I think the opposite.  I believe we're the favorite over Denver or Minnesota.  We have enough size to bother Jokic and we can beat them in transition.  Much like Minnesota we have lots of guys with long arms to affect their passes. Denver's bench is really terrible as well.  Aaron Gordon can matchup on Luka but they have no one else who can slow him down.  Jamal Murray will run out of heating pads to throw on the court.  I think we're better than Denver. 

I find Minnesota a little scarier as they have more guys who can matchup on Luka and they have a much better bench than Denver.  I think PJ can effectively guard KAT and DJJ was born to defend Anthony Edwards.  Kyrie matches up well on Mike Conley as well.  They have multiple guys who can bother Luka but they don't have much offensively besides Ant and KAT.  We have playoff PJ and DJJ and they don't.  

Mavs in 6 over either opponent.

Glad you believe they're the favorites over either team, but unfortunately they won't be. Should be a great series nevertheless.
