Am I the only one who sees the Warriors sweeping the Mavericks, or at minimum closing it in 5 games?

This feeling hit me prior to Game 1 of WCF, after watching everyone fixate on "can the W's stop Doncic?" without ever talking about what the Mavericks must contend with to beat the Warriors. The Warriors simply have more better players. Sometimes it's not that complicated.

Side note: I like the proper English usage of "more better."

Luka Doncic is GREAT and I love him as a player. Total badass, confident, respects the game. Unfortunately, his team just doesn't have the collective talent needed to get into an NBA Finals at this time. He needs a second All-Star at least to get him there.

Agreed.  His Scottie Pippen or Klay Thompson or Kevin McHale needs to emerge...

true that. but the reason for masks is primarily to protect others, not the wearer - especially those over 60. for your plan to work, the teams would have to isolate in a bubble with no fans. with time i could name you a million americans who have suffered serious consequences from getting too close to someone with covid: death.

1,028,014 in the USA, about one in six worldwide at the moment.  84.7 million cases in the USA, slightly more than 1/4th of the population.
