GAME 1: WAS @ DAL | 108-100 win | Dirkie: Luka
Mavs are definitely much improved. It's going to be a fun season.

solid game

I blame Carlisle for the 4th quarter.  He sat Luka way too long.

lol wut

playing hard = punk?  Luka and Beal even dapped when he got tossed.  Luka better get ready to be treated like that by every team in the league.  They can't stop him unless they try to rough him up.

Bullets:
  • It's great that the season is back, better that the Mavs might be finally relevant again.
  • Luka is a beast. Liked that he went after Beal, but felt like Beal got the better of him temporarily. Official story however is that Luka annoyed him into ejection of course! Otherwise he was simply stellar.
  • Little confused with Luka's lack of assists. Sure, some bricks, but he didn't seem to setup too many teammates today.
  • Search for the starting unit: Lee isn't the answer (he shouldn't play at all?). Probably had the worst night alongside THJ, who had to shake off an early injury scare.
  • Curry needs a more prominent role. Team shot just 11-36 from three, 4-20 outside Luka and KP. He's a shooter, you know? Also had other nice plays.
  • Brunson lit the fire in the first half, and had a strong game although the box score doesn't reflect that.
  • Same with Kleber. Eight rebounds and three blocks might not sound like much, but he was out best defensive player.
  • KP rebounding was an issue. Four is not enough for for a 7-3 guy.
  • Jackson and Dodo had nice contributions off the bench. I'd give DFS the next shot at starting because he rebounds hard and just does all the little things that help you win.

I'm disappointed he didn't get to play tonight. He could have helped tonight. I hope he ends up with regular minutes in the 10-15 range.

We dont know yet.  Wizards are terrible AND missing 4-5 rotation players.

Yes MORE Curry. There is nothing in his game that warrants him not getting more burn.

I think DP is the starting center, but I also think Boban needs to get burn. Don't get what RC was doing tonight. Many opportunities to play him against Bryant.

"wut?"  That's not playing hard, it's being a punk.  It's all he could do...all that skill was reduced to just trying to piss Luka off and it didn't work and he ended up looking like the old white dude in the head band at the Y.  Of course, he dapped...he was acting like a butt, and Luka's got class...aaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnd...THE WIN.

They won't stop him trying to rough him up either.  He went Rondo, but he's a punk, and a rich one at that now.  He can finish his career licking the bottom of the toilet in the Leastern conference, but he's got $$.  Good for him...but I still don't like his bs.

I agree the Wiz are trash, but we have a lot more options this year. Luka looks way more composed which is scary for the rest of the league. I'm not saying we're a playoff team yet. I'm just saying we look improved and win or lose, we'll be in every game. They will have to learn to win close games, but time will tell as far as win/loss numbers. I think it will be a lot more fun to watch them this season compared to the last few other than watching Dirk of course.

Took this game as preseason one, experimenting a lot. And they could afford to do it. We need better offensive starters. Kleber and Wright combined took 3 shots. And this is not because Luka or KP are not sharing. They are far too passive on the offensive end. Brunson has no problem geting/taking his shots, even in the minutes he is on court with Luka. Same with THJ. They are active. Wright and Maxi as if they don't even come accross to play offense. Especially dissapointed by Wright. But with this kind effect on offense, we can't afford to have 2 defensive specialists (and Lee) on court at the same time, unless it is garbage time.

DFS saw he wasn’t listed as a choice for the Dirkie so he decided to lead the team in +/- to send a message.

are you ok?

Beal was just face-guarding him 94 feet.  Bynum elbowing Barea = punk.

1-0 for the first time since 2015-16. The last time we made the playoffs.

Sloppy first and fourth quarters but I'll take the W.

Someone voted Boban for Dirkie but Luka was the obvious choice. Wanted him to finally go off for 40+ but we sat him too long

Also loved seeing Jet with Dana and Ced Ceballos at halftime. Maybe they're grooming him to become one of the Mavs announcers

Why can't DFS be Matrix 2.0?
