I am sure they'll be favored by 97.5% of all talking deads, but I don't care. I think our toughest opponent might have been the Clippers, followed by the Sgaers, followed by Minnesota.
I think their starting 5 has really good defense with White, Jrue, Brown, Tatum and even Horford. If Porzingis comes back, it will be even better. The thing is, they have faced depleted teams for the whole playoffs. This seems to have made them take things more lightly, and they aren't playing to their best level.
If the Mavs get to the Final, I don't know who will win at this point. The heart says Mavericks as I'm a Luka stan but my head says Celtics as they have more weapons on offense (when they're fully woken up). Hoping the heart wins out.
