Mavs @ Warriors Game #2

[Zeus]

We need to all chill. We are going to look back on this run in a few years and be amazed that Luka took a team full of basically league average players all the way to the conference finals. We just don't have enough talent.

and in few years will still be saying that?

it just feels like for 4 years now the consistent response is we don't have enough talent to compete.

I mean we all appreciate what the Mavs have done this year but opportunities to get to the finals or even the WCF's again aren't guaranteed.

I'm enjoying this run but it's gut wrenching to blow a 19 point lead because if you close out this game then you go back home 1-1.

Just a tough pill to swallow and instead of focusing on the future down the road hopefully the team is saying why not us right now

I totally agree there is no guarantee and we might not make it back at any point during the Luka/Mavs era if we don't actually build a team around him. Having said that, my point still stands that we will look back in a few years when many of the current roster are out of the league and wonder how did Luka take them this far or Finals if we rally. I will never get over the failure to turnover the roster and lock down a young core around Luka in the 2019/2020 period.

I think they have a very good team. I think even myself I've underrated them. I think Brunson is the real deal. I think DFS and Bullock are great role players as well. But with Luka's skillset and with the type of offense they're running they don't need great players. I do think they are one big time player away like a Bradley Beal away from being legit......but this run doesn't shock me. Luka and a bunch of 3 point shooters will get you far as long as the jumper I falling.
