As the NBA playoffs draw near, teams strive to hit their peak performance levels, and the Dallas Mavericks are certainly doing just that. With an impressive record of 14 wins in their last 16 games, coupled with a stellar defensive display ranking them as the league’s top defence during this stretch, the Mavericks are making a statement.
Recognized as a Threat
Former player Eddie Johnson, on SiriusXM NBA Radio, coined the Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving duo, which is to be found in the Mavericks as “the most dangerous team” for playoffs. Johnson focused on the unpredictability during the game that makes Lee and Gee a difficult team for all other participants in this competition. Besides the fact that Doncic is one of the most complex shooters and organizers who usually perform unusual shots and would be hard to guard,. Irving knows all the tricks of his offensive trade and he is very quick. This combination of skills creates a difficult-to-identify danger for opponents.
Transformative Additions
Through trades during the deadline, the Mavericks strengthened its defense with new faces and added Daniel Gabfork and P.J. Washington to the roster. In the meantime, the team has bolstered its defense by putting in place additional superstructures, which, to their credit, have also brought in versatility and depth. The Mavericks have become exquisite in their recruiting process, as Gafford and Washington, along with other members such as Derrick Jones Jr. and Dante Exum, have already blended nicely with the team, which is only increasing their championship potential.
Depth and Determination
With two key players, Doncic and Irving, showing leadership and talented roster, including depth and a group of great players, the Mavs team enter the playoffs with confidence and determination. The great capacity of the team to unfurl in different aspects of the game makes them a tough competitor in all the playoff series.
Ready for Battle
Sporting their best form as they look ahead to the playoffs, the Dallas Mavericks’ ability to rely on their depth of talent could very easily give them an edge in the postseason. Being focused and eager to make some real noise in the playoffs, they intend to do nothing less than win against all odds. The Mavericks have shown that they are no longer a team to be taken lightly but like to fight for every point, which gives them hope of being successful this postseason.
