Playoff Series Imponderables

[mavsluvr]

Kleber having a tough year, from Covid on top of whatever else is undisclosed had a huge impact on the Mavs season coming up short of some expectations and on Luka having too much load.  
He has looked like a real up and coming bright spot at times but whatever the issues are Coach strongly alluded to   here's to hoping he gets full healthy and back on stride. Indeed.

The Mavs may have over-relied on Maxi to an extent, in the sense of counting on him to do a job that may have been a little too much for him, and that came back to bite them in the playoffs. Or, maybe it was just an unfortunate season of one thing after another going wrong. We know the Achilles soreness was still an issue.


I think the Mavs really like Maxi, who has been the essence of a good soldier, but it wouldn't shock me to see him moved on or changed to a bench role after all is said and done, especially if they decide to beef up the front court.
