League sources say Dallas indeed plans for P.J. Washington to get his first game time of the preseason tonight at the new Intuit Dome against the Clippers after Washington missed the first two exhibition games with left hip tightness.

Dang it all, I like that Jazian dude!

Both Mavs.com and NBA TV are telling me I can't watch the game due to reginal location. I live in the DFW area, and the game is in LA. I couldn't watch the last game either, NBA Team Pass said it wasn't available to my zip code.

What Gives???

They´ll need to develop some chemistry. With Exum´s injury and if Dinwiddie is washed-up, both will get plenty of opportunities.

Looking forward to seeing the new Intuit Dome tonight. As this is the first Clippers preseason game there when they host the Mavs tonight, there are understandably some unknowns and concerns about bugs that have to be worked out. Nevertheless, if all goes well we'll be streaming tonight on http://mavs.com...with/ @Dev34Harris and me. The Clippers are also televising. And I'm actually now seeing that it's going to be on NBATV also (perhaps in lieu of League Pass tonight).

We aren't planning to start it until approx 2 mins before the 940 tipoff. When you stream games on the team website in the preseason there are NBA mandated geofencing restrictions to supposedly the 75 miles around the local market. These restrictions have absolutely nothing to do with the announcers or any individual at the Dallas Mavericks. I'm as annoyed by it as anyone and I don't have any answers for you why they choose to do this. Turn your location services on and good luck MFFLs.

Just posted Followill's tweet. Apparently it shouldn't work until right before tip-off? 

Of course if it still doesn't work I can point you to a really good METH waterSTREAMS website.

OK, Thanks...  I'm now watching on Mavs.com

Hardy's 3pt shot looks noticeably better

[Mavs2021]

That is Hardy´s 2pt shot. Midrange. Don´t force the drive.

Also four minutes in and only Mavs have scored. Ah Mann scores the first Clippers points.

[SleepingHero]

Hardy has come out swinging. Looks the most offensively polished so far this preseason.

My only complaint so far is that none of our guards are finding Klay off the drive. Clippers are collapsing on the drive and Klay/PJ are wide open on the perimeter.

Further, no one is finding Klay off of the roll on screens.

Can't wait till Luka comes back.

[SleepingHero]

After a strong start, last 2 minutes Hardy has spurred a 7 point run for the Clippers.

[SleepingHero]

My lasting takeaway from the preseason is that the 2nd unit is dying for a playmaker. Hardy+Dinwiddie are too similar.

Hardy and Dinwidde is an awful backcourt combo. Makes me pine for Hardaway.

[SleepingHero]

Grimes is saving the Mavs right now.

Dinwiddie, Hardy, Naji just turning the ball over like crazy.

[SleepingHero]

Dinwiddie just blew up that play there for no reason. Didnt even wait for Klay to run off the screen and tried to attack to nowhere. Klay then tries to reset a screen and again Dinwiddie rejects it. Throws a hot potato to Naji and somehow Naji hits some bullshit to save the possession.

[The Jom]

It really looks like Gortman is one of the 10 best Mavs and Dinwidde is not. This is the third game out of three that’s looked that way to me. Am I wrong?

[SleepingHero]

OK PJ WOW
