Mavericks finally won a game in this series. I was even waiting to see them winning the third game but they failed. They have a very difficult work to do now even though they won the fourth game. Because Warriors are already 3-1 ahead in the series and all of the remaining games are like a series point for them. Doncic had a solid game too by the way. He had 30 points, 14 rebounds and 9 assists. He just continues to take the most of the responsibility for his team as always. But it looks like this is the end of the road for Mavericks.
The closest first win should they have is back on Game 2 where they blew their 19-point lead. In Game 4, they also did the same as they blew again their 29- points lead entering the 4th quarter downed to 8 points.
With that performance, Mavericks' rally might end up in Game 5. It's a great experience for the young Mavericks to face the championship lineup of the Warriors to give them a good reference for their career. Warriors' young players too are doing their best.
It's hard to believe that the Warriors will lose 4 games in a row. It's technically possible but the chances are low to happen obviously. I do have a bet on Mavericks to win the series but I already concede with my bet.
Yes, I'm not seeing the Warriors losing 4 straight unless something bad happen to their players. So it's game 5, to be held on Warriors home court, so I guess they will have to finished it and have a good rest and then wait for their opponent for the finals. Luka though proved that he can carry a team in the playoffs and he is not a choker and I would say trash talker.
. Opening line for the Warriors for those who are interested, -6.5.
The chances of this "something bad happen to their players" to happen? Low to no chance and as long as their all-star players will play, they will still have a high chance to win.
Like what you said, I don't see them also losing 4 straight games in the playoffs, or they will be the ones that will break the record, which sound very disappointing and humiliating to them. If that happens, I don't know what will the Warriors' management do to the whole roster.
Luka is proven already that he can carry his team. The only problem is that, they don't have a 2nd superstar that will help him because in order for a team to win, you must've at least 2 superstars. His trash talking skills are just normal, and it's part of the game. He is like Draymond Green
. Good game to the Mavericks, but I see the Warriors ending the series in Game 5.
