It is really tough for an inexperienced team to make a playoff run, and if they make a good account of themselves, I think it will give them a lot of confidence, and that their future is bright, assuming good health
I too was ultimately encouraged as painful as it was to watch the loss. The Mavs are right there and they have NO real experience and NO business being able to hang with teams and players that have a decade of experience battling for the title. Every great team and player has to earn their way in through many crucial losses and disappointments. You learn through failure. Buckle up if you want to watch Luka succeed in this league, there is going to be some significant failure.
