I might actually be able to watch a full Mavs season this year!

At minimum they should be in contention for the 8th seed until the end

I think they can land anywhere from 8-6 if injuries are minimal. They don’t like to draft so I think Rick should be able to make something out of the current squad.

I'm thinking the Warriors upset the Clippers tonight

I wish the Mavs were in the Eastern conference.

My Hornets with the awesome win tonight!

Youth movement!

You guys shot the ball extremely well.

Last night is what I am hoping to see from Lauri more consistently. Obviously he won’t get 35/17 nightly... but he was much more aggressive in looking to score. He needs to do that; even on eventual nights he isn’t shooting well.

Coby looks much more ready than what I envisioned. He looked good the last couple of preseason games as well.

Nice NBA debut Deandre Hunter. Definitely played much better than Cam Reddish.

Clippers look like the favorites. Once PG comes back they’re going to be scary.

Oops.

I'm only teasing we all make bad predictions.

Yeah...that was pretty bad. Worse than bad. Their defense is terrible.

Magic 1-0

Not surprising. I don’t think much of Reddish to begin with.

Hunter will at least be a solid 3&D player.

You should go back and read some reviews pre draft of the Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler, Rodney White, Eddie Griffin, DeSagana Diop draft class by the experts.... that’s a fun read.

I was a teenager at the time, but I had never been so excited by a draft class as that one. In a lot of ways, that draft class busting so heavily made me lose some of the enjoyment I got from watching the NBA for a few years....

B ulls play tonight. Excited to watch them against the Grizzlies (and see the Morant and JJJ combo).

I expect LaVine to bounce back. I want to see Lauri continue to be aggressive offensively and Coby continue the good play over the past 4 games (preseason and regular).

Defense needs to tighten up too.

Mavs defense is sucking

 

[Hennessy_King]

LET'S GO NETS!!!!!

God, that was an ugly half for the Bulls.

Lauri looks lifeless. Satoransky hasn’t shown up for 3 halves. Otto looks horrific. LaVine is scoring, but some dumb decisions, especially on the drive. Defense is horrific, rotations are two steps slow. Shooting horrific.

Other than that....

This Mavs Pelicans game has no defense

Yeah Hunter is definitely going to be one of the better rookies this year. I still think he'll be a poor man Kawhi which isn't a bad thing.

I'm watching Pelicans vs Mavericks.
I think Dallas is a good PG away from being a really good team. Luka needs to play SF most of the, and be a part time PG. Luka is so good without the ball.
Triple double for Luka tonight..... can't argue about that.

 

[Shane612]

Mavericks are 2-0....first time in 15 years.
Good road win for the Mavericks.
Wright played a good game, 18, 7.
This team needs one player to emerge to be a solid 3rd scorer.
