If Bucks/Celtics goes to a Game 7, the Mavs will play at 7 p.m. CST on Sunday. If the Bucks win in six, Mavs/Suns will be at 2:30 p.m. CST on Sunday.

I see they released the kraken a bit early last night to shake the rust off for the grand plan.EastSideAg2002 said:

Ntilikina coming back has had a big impact on this series on the defensive side of things.

Yep. He gives us nothing on offense but he's so good on D that he probably needs to play decent minutes Sunday.
Saw a tweet that he's held Paul and booker to 3/40 shooting when he's marched up on them.
I think 230 is better bet for us. we seem to struggle in night games out westPatAg said:If Bucks/Celtics goes to a Game 7, the Mavs will play at 7 p.m. CST on Sunday. If the Bucks win in six, Mavs/Suns will be at 2:30 p.m. CST on Sunday.

It is going to come down to 3-point variance and turnovers. That Mavs are shooing way more 3's per game than Phoenix. That is a stylistic choice being made by both teams. In the series the Mavs have taken 70 more 3's than PHX and turned the ball over 28 times less. If the Mavs hit 40%+ from 3 and PHX shoots less than 40% in game 7 then I think the Mavs will win if they couple it with a low turnover game. It may be a lot to ask, but it is very possible. I would still favor PHX here but there is now a lot out of their control. The Mavs are one hot night from going to the WCF.
I also get the sense that PHX didn't take the Mavs that seriously, especially up 2-0. They have kind of acted like clowns at times in this series so I wonder about their mindset right now. I'm sure they feel confident going home for game 7 but there has to be some doubt creeping in for the first time. The Mavs are playing with house money to an extent as the underdog. so I just wonder if PHX misses some shots if they start to get tight. PHX is still the favorite both historically and on paper, but man I think there is a real chance to steal this one due to the Mavs style of play.
