Paul Pierce has made a bold prediction regarding the upcoming Mavericks versus Clippers series in the NBA playoffs. Known for their intense matchups, this series promises high entertainment due to the sheer talent on both teams. Despite the Clippers’ potential to challenge Jason Kidd’s Mavericks, Paul Pierce is confident that the Mavericks will prevail this time.
During a discussion on “Undisputed,” Pierce praised the Mavericks’ dynamic duo of Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, calling them the greatest scoring pair in NBA history. He highlighted the Mavericks’ strengths, including having arguably the league’s best player in Luka Doncic and a strong MVP contender in Kyrie Irving.
Although Pierce acknowledged the Mavericks’ potential to reach the NBA Finals, he expressed uncertainty about their consistency in the playoffs. However, he believes they have a favorable matchup against the Clippers, especially with Kawhi Leonard dealing with another injury.
The Mavericks’ recent hot streak, winning 16 of their last 18 games and defeating formidable opponents, adds weight to Pierce’s prediction of a successful run for Dallas in this series.
