What is the formula for beating the Mavs? Here’s what Sacto has, which apparently isn’t enough:
1. Long, athletic, defensive-minded forward to mess with Luka.
2. Bigs and backup bigs to slow the dunkathon.
3. Guards who can punish weaker perimeter defenders and hit floaters over athletic bigs.
4. A potent 3-point game to force those athletic bigs out to the 3-point line.
Maybe you also need a transcendent star who can get you buckets in crunch time with the same kind of clutch proficiency as Kyrie and Luka?
I dunno. Hometown refs seems like the key to me. We’ll probably get a game or 2 of that down the stretch.

Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.
