Someone posted earlier that the avg calf strain recovery was 16 days. They’ll begin next Sunday. Meaning, Luka could miss at least one week of playoff action. This is a big deal. Even if he is able to play, he’s not going to be at 100 percent. Going 0-2 with the series heading to salt lake is a death wish for Dallas.

It can range from a few days to over 16… it’s one they likely can’t push if it is that. If it’s a calf strain I expect at least one game missed… maybe two. Obviously a huge advantage. If he comes back too soon and reinjures it he’s cooked.

Knowing the nba they will push the start back on our series and there will be 3 days rest in between games.

The average recovery time for a calf strain injury in the nba this year was 16 days according to a previous poster. Of course it can range more or less than 16 days, I know what the definition of “average” means believe it or not.

I’m not sure what fans here are thinking. The difference between winning and losing this game is huge. If we had lost, we’d be facing the warriors in the first round, right? Did we want to lose in the first round? Cuz id much rather play Dallas.

Same. And about royce I don't know what to say anymore. If couching stuff is not blind this guy should have 15 min max in playoffs

Why did you want us to lose? So we’d play golden state in the first round instead of Dallas? You think we have a better shot against golden state?

Warriors w/hobbled Curry and Grizzlies seemed like a more favorable path to the WCF.

I absolutely do. Steph isn’t back yet. GS hasn’t been amazing lately. Luka and the Mavs can do the same **** that has destroyed us in the playoffs in the past. They have decent good sized wings that can play small ball and switch on the perimeter. Luka also dominates small guards… he flat out buried pat Beverly last year in the playoffs. Now if he’s hurt… another story obviously

Yeah I think we’re gonna just disagree here. Even without Steph i don’t want to face the warriors. No thanks.

Dallas? With or without Luka, bring them on.

Yeah… and I said they have a seven day break… 16 isn’t gospel obviously. I strained a calf last week and am playing in a game tomorrow. It’s an injury you don’t know about until you test it… in the regular season those injuries team staffs will be more conservative on. I’m just letting folks know this is t a death sentence for playoff Luka and may not cost him any time.

Pretty sure if we had gotten GS with out without curry we’d be done in the first.

Hence why the average recovery for that injury this year is 16 days. It can be less or more than 16.

At this point it seems like you’re just arguing just to argue.

When DFS goes full Terrence Mann remember this discussion. GS without Steph is really manageable… it really neuters Draymond not having Steph and they play non shooting bigs or Bjelica who Rudy will bury.

Neither are great options… so it’s fine to disagree.

For Some reason I think you got the impression that I guaranteed Luka would miss this playoff series. It helps to actually read what people say before responding to their posts. Bold emphasized by me.

If luka can’t play for a few Weeks then the Mavs are going to be finished in 4 games. Which is somewhat warranted by the basketball gods. Last year was ******** for us.
