LAS VEGAS – At training camp in 2022, Luka Donu010diu0107 and Jason Kidd both said that they knew tempering expectations would be impossible after the Mavericks made a run to the Western Conference finals the previous season.
Some necessary moves ended up scuttling that 2022-23 season.
But now, the Mavericks are back in similar situation. Their trip to the NBA Finals in June means that fans now expect more. The pressure most certainly is on.
To which Luka says: Bring it on.
“I love it because that means we did something great,” Donu010diu0107 said.
