What are your expectations for the Mavericks first round matchup against the Clippers? Also give your prediction of the series ending (ex. Clippers in 5).
Kirk - My head tells me this is the worst possible match up after a season of outpacing pre-season expectations. The Clippers have multiple guys to harass Luka Doncic into a less efficient performance and have the kind of big men who give Dallas trouble. My heart says that Rick Carlisle had to have determined, before the bubble, that the Clippers were the match up and opted to keep his cards as close to the vest as possible.
