In describing the Mavs play against the Suns early in the series, someone said it felt like the Mavericks were biking uphill. That sums up how this series against the Warriors has played out.
The talent difference is obvious. The lack of depth is obvious. Offensively, the Mavs are a one-trick pony and have run out of gas against a team with several Hall of Fame-caliber players. This season is, without question, a success and presents a step forward for a team and organization that was stuck on the hamster wheel of mediocrity. The team will build on this in the offseason.
