Now that it's been a couple of months, what did Dallas learn from their championship series loss to the Celtics?
last season in a series that felt like a mismatch from Game 1, where Boston held a blazing-hot offense to 89 points, well below Dallas' season and playoff average. The Mavs won Game 4 by a decent margin, but other than that, they were mostly overmatched by a team that has so many defensive options, options that other teams simply don't have to guardin the Western Conference Finals to the tune of a 121.
Even when the Timberwolves decided to blitz the pick-and-roll, Doncic found easy passes to the middle of the floor or on short rolls that ended up being hockey assists to other players in space. When Minnesota hedged on the ball screen, it created a similar problem faced by the baseline defender when Gobert was in drop coverage: this time, whoever played the power forward spot was stuck guarding the roll man as well as the corner three-point shooter.
