Is it just me, or is the post season kind of in a weird rhythm? I mean, as elated as I was after Game 3, I'm pretty numb to the Mavs right now. It's like...I'm just ready for this series to be over. The loss was disappointing, but I'm not really worried about the series result, so we're just kind of in a "enough, already. Let's get to the finals" sort of place. I doubt I'd be in that headspace if it was 2-2.
Does anyone else feel that way?
I'm a little nervous actually. Lively has become the 3rd-most important player on our team and his questionable availability makes me worry. We're playing a great team who also happens to be the league's biggest team. No Lively gives Minny a huge advantage. The fact that Maxi is still not back to baseline also is cause for concern. I am aware that no one has ever come back from 3-0 but injuries often play a role in the NBA playoffs and could flip the series.
The officials allowed a lot of contact on Luka and Kyrie in Game 4 and if the same thing is allowed tonight, then we have that disadvantage as well.
Hopefully my angst is unnecessary and the Mavs close them out tonight.
