It’s impossible to play well in that circumstance. But, Gobert dominated Zinger and they had enough to beat a Mavs team that’s pretty much exposed and cooked at this point. Luka will return, and I think the Mavs can back in to the eight seed, but this roster needs a major overhaul if its going to be worthy of retaining Luka. At least we’ve learned that during this failed easy stretch in the schedule.
I think that Maxi, THJ, DFS. Curry, and Brunson are all at or close to the level of 5th-best players on a contending team. It's that lack of a third and/or fourth best guy that does them in. And they flushed their best opportunity to do that down the toilet this summer. Brogdon and/or Bojan would have looked good in a Mavs uni.
