cjeter!! I was wondering when you were going to make it over!!
How's it going? What do you think of Mavs and stuff?
Yeah I was waiting to see what happened with all the move and stuff. And then got a bit busy with life you know...
It's an exciting time again!
Biggest thing so far is our depth is just incredible. The roster has meshed extremely well. And we still have a lot of room to grow with youth and lack of chemistry.
I'm excited to see where we are in a few months. This feels like the start of a potentially special run of success (at least for the Mavs history)... It certainly helps ease the cowboys fandom pain.
Thoughts in general on the NBA landscape this year for anyone who cares:
Bucks look fantastic. Kind of obvious to say but if they can actually translate their regular season play into postseason play, they are going to be the team to beat. I think the experience last year is going to be huge come april.
Completely surprised by the Raptors great play. They are a legit team and I would hate to see them find another star if I'm Milwaukee. I think Kawhi made the wrong choice potentially. Nurse is one hell of a coach.
The rest of the east are pretenders.
The LA teams remain on top in the west for me. I think the Clippers are going to be a much tougher playoff team than regular season team. The defensive potential they have I think will peak then. I think the Lakers will be a bit exposed in the playoffs.
Past that, I think the Mavs and Nuggets are in the next tier and pretty even. If KP ever gets it figured out this year, we are in the LA range and true contenders.
Very curious on the moves to come this year for everyone. I'm not sure what the Mavs should do, but Brunson seems incredibly expendable with the emergence of THJ playing arguably the best ball of his career.
I'm glad I was right on Wright. That dude is a baller.
