That's bold.....

I respect bold predictions, but this one seems like a bit of a long shot to me. I have Dallas as clear underdogs in this series, although I would LOVE to see them upset Golden State.

You also thought the Bulls would bulldoze through the league and they were a first round exit as anyone with a brain knew.

I'll be rooting for Doncic aka mini LeBron, but the Warriors should win this series, but with Luka anything is possible.

No Dallas will get waxed. Suns choking robbed us of a competitive WCF. This is big for Luka's legacy though.

*Probably* BUT that’s exactly what everyone including myself said about this series.

I don't think it's bold at all.

GSW had real trouble with Memphis' role players for multiple games. Luka, Jalen, Spencer will kill them.

The thing is, Mavs can reuse most of their Suns tactics.

Double Klay and Curry aggressively, neither is good with the ball under pressure, and have Luka go at Curry every time down.

Everybody in the league had trouble with Memphis' role players all season. I think Memphis is the tougher team than Dallas. I thought Memphis was going to beat the Warriors. We'll see though. I hope you're right.

They're going to have a handful with whichever team comes out of the East though. Heat or Celtics are both tough matchups for them.

Regular season is one thing. But to still have trouble with them for multiple games in the playoff showed major weakness. As we all saw in the games.

Double Klay and Curry aggressively, neither is good with the ball under pressure, and have Luka go at Curry every time down.Luka, Dinwiddie, and Brunson can all go at Steph and either get lots of easy buckets, lots of deep paint double teams to pass out of to wide open Maxi/Bullock/Finney-Smith.

Also get Steph into foul trouble, if he reaches or bites any of Brunson’s “choppy foreign accent fakes”. Brunson makes it hard to keep your feet on the ground in great position.

The most telling moments of the series will happen in the first half of game 1, and it’s IF GSW lets Klay guard Luka without help in the post, or in jail on the PNR on Luka’s back…and what happens if/when they do.

Kidd is a smart coach.. And Luka is Lebron s heir apparent.. GSW is not the team they were years past. Neither Curry or Klay are the same after all the injuries and games played.. Reason I put 200 on Mavs weeks ago.. Just added another 100 ..

The league is up for grabs. Like when MJ started winning in the 90s , Luka is playing against his peers in terms of age and experience after GSW slows down.. It will be LUKA vs Giannis or Brandon Ingram in the coming years.. In my opinion he is better than either one on the offensive side of the ball.. And his team can shoot as good as any team in thje league

Wiggins is a great defender too. Better than Olay today tbh. He was wrestling with Steven Adams the past couple games. Luka is strong but not that strong.

The people who are saying Mavs are going to target Steph have clearly not been watching any GSW games this season.

Warriors front office smart as hell for trading D'Angello Russell for Wiggins and a 1st round pick which ended up being Kuminga. Wiggins can be inconsistent on offense, but his defense is pretty damn solid, and although Klay isn't the defender he once was, I wouldn't call him a bad defender, from what I've seen he has been a plus on that end in this postseason.

Luka is strong but not that strong.The strength battles Luka puts opponents into have nothing to do with arm muscle. It’s about core and lower body strength. Luka chubby with tree trunks, with PG handles. Wiggins is a narrow hip having track athlete, not in any way a grappler/wrestler’s/fighters build. Son is built to run, not grapple.

True, but Wiggins is still pretty strong. He's not bulky but he has really good defensive instincts and athleticism. Is Gary Payton an endomorph? Jordan? Pippen? Pippen looked skinnier than Brandon Ingram in his early 20s. Doesn't mean he couldn't eventually become a great defender.

Also Jon Jones Jones is a long limbed narrow hip having track athlete type and is argubaly the best MMA fighter ever. He didn't have a chubby fedor build but still dominated grappling. Ain't just about weight.

Ain't just about weight.Jon Jones and Wiggins don’t have the same build at all, besides long limbs. Jon Jones has rotational strength, and strength at angles.

Wiggins is built to run in a straight line and jump/leap.

Wiggins’ strides and posture just scream “all my strength is in my deltoids/hands, and Calves/feet. He has very little rotational core strength, and very little hip/glute/quad strength, or stability/solid-base thru contact, compared to a player like Doncic.

Iggy & Klay are far better chances against Doncic, but Klay lost a little strength during all his time off, and Iggy breaking down.

Daniel Cormier had the Luka build you're describing and Jones tossed him around. Clear endo vs ecto morph. Wiggins is going to end up being the main defender on luka.

people forget that Iguodala is still out, if he comes back, he provides the athleticism Toscano-Anderson is suppose to provide.

his BPM has never been - in the playoff besides this year due to injury, which makes him better than Otto Porter Jr. Again, it's a team with depth.
