THE STORY: It’s finally time. This is what we’ve been building towards and waiting for Since October of last year. If you missed our insanely long and in-depth preview of the series, click here and read the whole thing. See you in 30 minutes... You’re back! Great!

This is likely to get testy and frustrating from time to time because the playoffs are hard. Some of us, myself included, may forget just how hard from time to time. Having Dirk Nowitzki as the core of a franchise for two decades will do that to a fanbase, he was that good.

Now we’re here with Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis. Enjoy it, because sports are supposed to be fun. Remember I move this off the main page after games and place the direct link in the comments to the recap.
