With Minnesota’s upset of Denver, that means that they’ll see the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals. And that means that at least one Blue Devil – Wendell Moore if Minnesota wins – or two Blue Devils – Kyrie Irving and Dereck Lively if Dallas wins – will play for the title.
And if Jayson Tatum and Boston take out Indiana as expected, then someone from the Brotherhood will win a ring.
Moore didn’t get on the court against Denver Sunday, but at this point, that’s not a big surprise. Anthony Edwards has emerged as a major star and he’s going to play a much as possible. There’s no realistic way for Moore to get much time with this team right now.
However, if he’s needed, Duke fans saw enough of him to know that he’ll be ready.
Next action will be on Monday as the Celtics and Pacers kick things off in the Eastern Conference Finals.
