Let’s not be too overconfident

Our defense spoke for itself against NO. If they run the same stifling defense they could clean sweep. I think Chet is going to come up big in this series

Clippers reddit was saying literally the same. This Dallas team is a different beast, better understand that.

I'm glad to see you're not underestimating us like the Clippers. Our defence is finally good again, feels like it's been a decade. Luka shot terribly and we still won. That would've never happened in previous years.

I'm scared of you guys. You have what it takes to make a deep run. Should be an awesome series.

The problem with comparing the clippers to okc is that the clippers (and Dallas) are built like an early 2010’s team of only 2 guys (when K is hurt) can shoot on the floor. We saw this repeatedly in clippers/Mavs series. Both teams would just go blanks for entire quarters because the 2 players they rely on for points couldn’t score.

On the other hand, for OKC (and Boston/denver, etc), every player on the court can score and that’s a problem for the “vintage” teams.

Should be a fun series.
