I was going to the 1st one, but my arrangement for the kids fell through, so had to cancel
Still a small chance I can pull it off Thursday...

Yes, planned a 2 day vacation with my wife, I'm 1 hour flight away from UAE, but now, I may just fly Thursday and get back Friday morning, depending on work/kids schedule.

If you go, obviously take photos and stuff and share it.

Let's see how both rookies are going to deal with real NBA talent. Ant and Gobert/KAT. Can Omax make an impact against Ant? Can Lively disrupt the twin towers of Minnesota? Yeah I know it's only a preseason but it will still be interesting.

Can i see the game on LP?

Not sure tbh. Butheard it were gonna be streamed for free on mavs.com

Every game is on LP.

Lively seems can't play right now... his start looks like a desperation move by Kidd.

Richaun step up please...

Jeez, what a horrible start on offense

Are you the one behind the bench screaming at J Kidd?

Lively isnt ready. Gobert and Towns are killing him.

We really are about to start the season with Dwight f***ing Powell, arent we? Pathetic

Half of it, I'm yelling from home

Difficult to play if 2 players can't do anything.

Kidd the great coach... 2 rookies starting in the first preseason game. Good

Lively and Omax will need time and patience,a lot of time and patience.. it's only a preseason but they don't Look ready to be playing rotation minutes,let alone start...I'm hoping aholmes comes in and shows he has something left

Dwight Powell first guy off the bench.

Someone needs to tell the Mavs they cant tank for a top pick this year. LOL
