TNT! 

I get to watch!

If KP sucks tonight, does that mean it's my fault?

WTF is happening? Is my clock broken? Game starts almost on time?

---

Already in love with Mavs using DFS so much more, cause I saw a lot of un-used Crowder in his game.

Hawks look a lot more athletic than I realized. We aren’t moving at the same speed.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Game of runs so far. Dallas jumped on them early, Hawks came back. Whoever plays the better defense wins. Both teams can score.

[SleepingHero]

WCS lack of energy has annoyed me the most so far.

[Mavs2021]

Overall it feels like we still lack a bit of offensive talent.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Atlanta has really built a solid team. They should contend for the next few years.

[Mavs2021]

Reddish is a good MLE candidate for next summer.

Nico has a lot of work to upgrade this roster, while we have to pay Dorian and Jalen. Can´t afford to lose your 4th and 5th best players, when you are already behind in overall talent.

The old MBT really gave him a mess to work with. No assets and no cap room.

Brunson has got some good looks and I don't fault him for just missing them. But the dude either has 2 modes, score or stand around doign thing.

He's on the path of becoming a black hole to me. Dude only looks for his shots at all expense.

He´s not a PG. We all agreed on this last year, but since the Mavs failed to secure any play-making in the summer, we now have to pretend he is.

Loving the activity from KP so far on both offense and defense!

Reddish was the 1st rounder given up in the Luka Trae deal. He's developing into a nice player.

Got the first half of first game jitters out of the way?

[HoosierDaddyKid]

DeAndre Hunter has Luka on lockdown at this point.

This is like the beginning of Hoosiers, when Norman Dale's fine work hadn't started paying off quite yet.

[Mavs2021]

Feels more like groundhog day. You bring the same team back and it looks like the same team.

The difference in overall talent is so blatantly obvious.

[KillerLeft]

I miss Carlisle’s offense. 

WAY too much Porzingis being forced for my liking, and not nearly enough space out there for Luka/Brunson to cook.

We all know who wasn´t supposed to watch .

[Jommybone]

This is playoff reffing. They are way more physical with us than we are with them. Their bigs are stronger than ours. Without an enforcer, we’re pretty susceptible to this style of play.

Mavs have two 7ft+ giants on the bench.
