LOL.  Are we forgetting about Morant?

Anyway, your comments sound like they come from someone who saw few or no Mavericks game this year.  I'm not saying the Mavs will win the series (as I said before game 1--I didn't have a strong sense of who would win the series).  But you're making some pretty big conclusions from a single bad game.  Like I said, you could've made similar conclusions after watching games 1 or 2 of the Phoenix series.  Let's wait and see where we are after, say, 3 games.

I watched a few Dallas games after the Porzingus trade and was impressed. In fact, I was terrified the Mavs would eke out W's for the #3 seed up until the last game. But the playoffs are a different animal than the regular season and it looks to me like the Warriors have proven they are a better team now than they were two months ago. W's taking the series with Memphis - even without Morant for 3 games - was really impressive to me. They have just as many good players as the W's, IMO, maybe even more.

I like to make my predictions before series start because that's the real test of one's knowledge. I'm so confident in my prediction I don't need to wait until Game 3. I called my shot before they tipped Game 1. The Mavs (or W's) could make it a closer Game 2, but I don't see the W's dropping Game 2 if they are as superior as I believe they are. And I am certain the W's will win at least one game in Dallas, so w's in 4, 5 max.

Now you can rip me if Mavs win Game 2 or both 3 & 4. :)

Bad feeling about Celtics tonight. Horford still out. Derrick White is now out. Smart probably will play with limited ability. Not good.
