1) Thunder over 5) Mavericks in 7
2) Nuggets over 3) Timberwolves in 7
1) Celtics over 4) Cavaliers in 5
2) Knicks over 6) Pacers in 6
Would have leaned Mavericks if Doncic weren't hurt and Hardaway Jr. and Kleber injured.
Plus I've exchanged messages with buyers and it's nice knowing they'll enjoy it instead of them sitting in a box. I purchased Used jerseys in the past and they brought me happiness.

Kleber is a bad loss for Dallas, he's their best all-around defensive big.
THJ being out is Dallas' gain.

Nah, even though Hardaway Jr. (apparently will play) is a one dimensional streak shooter, you still want as many options as possible especially with so many suspect three-point shooters surrounding their stars.
A guy like him is liable to go off for 5 or 6 3's in a game and change the complexion of a game and by extension series.
If I'm Dallas, I don't want to give him the minutes sufficient to see if he's going to have one of those games. Because those have been few and far between since January or so. He's got the yips now. He's more likely to shoot them right out of a game than to get them back into one. And he doesn't have the defense to make up for it. Right now those minutes are better off with Josh Green, or if they get desperate, Jaden Hardy.
only people who regularly watch the Mavs know how much of a negative THJ actually is.
I do agree that he still needs at least a few minutes each game to see if he's gonna have one of those occasional explosive nights. but Kidd has to be very quick to pull him, which he generally has not done, which is why it's usually best that THJ just stays injured lol
