Conventional wisdom is that if you have home court and the best player in a series you're going to win, so goals shifted in some peoples minds from make the playoffs to get HCA and make it to the conference finals and then with a little luck and Luka magic we win the first of 12 championships in a row. It seem unreasonable when you type it out, but winning is intoxicating, mavs fans had no tolerance built up to it at the beginning of the year, and drunk people believe unreasonable things. So the reason people freak out over every loss is because in their minds a championship is at stake and with every loss it slips a little further out of reach.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFDcoX7s6rE
I applaud the Mavs for sticking to the long approach and not giving into euphoria to try and pry a window open when the paint on the trim is still drying.
