Hoping after training camp and preseason I can alter that projection for more!
Are you aware that every NBA team and basically every NBA player is posting similar gym picks?
What, other people outside of Dallas take pictures? You’re kidding right?
Maybe the meaning of my post isn’t as obvious to you as it is to me since I wrote it, but Luka looking like he’s in better shape than last year when he was already awesome, and KP appearing to have morphed into a form that will both dominate and hold up physically is what I was pointing at.
Would be interested if you could point out to me a few more teams that had both of their top 2 All-Star caliber players go through similar transformations over the summer. If you can, I’ll rescind some of my optimism, but I’m not counting on it.
You can go to any bleacher report team site (for example) and you will find tons of picks, videos and news how their players are getting better and better. Harden is shooting one legged step back threes now, Simmons is hitting jumpers, Embiid lost I don't know how many pounds, Fultz rediscovered his shot and so on and so on. And just about every fan base is excited about new season expecting miracles and magical improvements of their favorites. Because you know, everyone sees what he wants to see.
I believe Mavs have two truly great players. However, a lot of things will need to go extremely well for Mavs to be playoff contenders. So I rather stay more careful with my expectations.
