    The depth of the Dallas bench to be able to offer different types of defense and offense will be key on the series, they can try to burn out the starters of boston as they dont have that much rotation as Dallas. And the bench points will make the difference if dallas can get more points on the times there is a rotation, and I think luka would need to be smart and look to target someone for foul trouble, dont know if JT or JB depends on who is his main defender.

    What are the odds this script comes to fruition: JJ Reddick gets hired by the Laker’s. JJ works with Pelinka in off season to acquire players that can stretch the floor and defend. JJ injects his own variation of “Mazulla Ball” into their offense. Still centered around Lebron/AD, they battle through the west on a collision course towards Boston trying to repeat. Historic chess match between two greatest franchises. NBA ratings go through the roof. Wishful thinking ik, but still in the range of outcomes 😂

      You never know, Kerr did it. Nick Nurse did it. Udoka almost did it. First year championship head coach!
