It'll be a good test of how grown up the team is.
They have to perform well win or lose. If not it looks a lot like 2nd half of last season ending in a round 2 blowout.
The ADR surgery can be very successful if the real source of the problem is the disc and not something that is causing the disc to herniate.
Stable/strong spinal muscles plus no ligament instability make for best result in ADR.
