Mavericks Analysis
It's time for some Gamer Theory: Luka Doncic plays Overwatch, and is in the 99th percentile of performance. He's in the 100th percentile of NBA players, but it's important to understand he's also elite pretending to be a futuristic gladiator and talking trash to teenagers.
The Mavericks and Celtics are a pair of throughly modern teams, but in distinctly contrasting ways, which should make for an entertaining series and also a referendum on two models of team construction.
In the 2024 NBA, regime change has arrived, and old templates won't tell us what's coming. Luka and Ant-Man aren't following old bibles about how to win, closely mimicking anyone who came before them, or sticking to their reputational patterns.
