I know Jokic is AMAZING, but the absence of Murray weakens Denver, I think, and they just don't seem capable of the extra defensive gear needed to win in the playoffs (just my impression, no data).
And, even though Jokic is the MVP this season, I can't shake the feeling that Leonard is the more dangerous threat in games that matter. I just live in constant fear of that guy.
I would prefer facing Denver, but I give the Mavs a fair chance in either series, which is an improvement. I would've bet my LIFE on the Clippers going into last season's playoffs.
