Mavericks News: According To Report Luka Doncic Is Not Qualified For Western Conference Finals MVP….Read More

Three short questions were included in a poll we conducted prior to Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. Since I wasn’t sure how Game 4 would play out, each was worded more on the sentiments of Dallas Mavericks supporters than actual outcomes. These questions were intended to get a better understanding of the supporters’ emotions beyond their immediate reactions to the most recent game. The results may be slightly skewed because the poll was accessible past Game 4, but overall they were in line with my expectations.

Polls like this one will always favor Luka Doncic, but it was unexpected to see Dereck Lively come in solidly second to Kyrie Irving. However, Dallas dropped the lone game of the series in which he did not participate.

Which game has upset supporters the most to date was the subject of the following query.

The vote winner is the Mavericks’ 4–0 loss, which makes sense. I’m most stressed about the game-winner against Rudy Gobert in Game 2, which is a pretty close second.

The bench guards were the subject of the last query.

Jaden Hardy is the clear winner, and his incredible play coming off the bench has earned him that distinction.

This final query was posted to the Boston Celtics SB Nation website rather than being posed to our supporters. I definitely felt it was worth sharing.

That’s a fan base that shares a healthy regard for its NBA Finals opponent, at least according to polls.

Next week, we’ll see what we can come up with. Look for that early in the week as it’s a bit of an off-week with the Finals not starting until Thursday!
