.TimCowlishaw: I was wrong, the Mavericks can’t beat the Jazz without Luka Doncic
Nobody knows when the 23-year-old phenom will return from a calf injury, and little suggests that Dallas can win without him.
No one knows when his return could happen. So after the Game 1 loss, the Mavericks did their best to signal that they had almost won, that while this was not a moral victory it was perhaps a steppingstone to a win here Monday when play resumes and Dallas almost certainly will be without the injured Doncic again.
But it’s not hard for me to see Utah again crushing Dallas on the boards. The Jazz earned a 53-34 advantage there Saturday which is something that will continue to happen as long as the Mavericks are focused on spreading the floor on offense and pulling Gobert and his 17 rebounds and three blocks away from the rim. When Dallas shoots and misses, the ball is going the other direction.
