I like OKC's spacing on offense so far. Not starting Giddey helping but I don't think I've seen Dort in the dunkers spot this game.

The dreaded 4 guard lineup of my nightmares from last year's team. Please wake me up from this horror

Kidd is playing 3D chess - I like this a lot

No, no it doesn't

Brunson would never have been NY Brunson in Dallas. Only one ball. Kyrie's a fine replacement, although age I'd take Brunson but it is what it is he deserved to run his own team.

I thought he was the LeBron James of James Hardens

Nah he's pretty much a modern LeBron James with a James Harden mindset and shot selection & below average defense

So not LeBron at all then :lol:

Giddey going fine this game so far. Probably still going to get his 12 minutes or so.

Those shots weren't even bricks either, strait up missing rim and glass :lol:

Dude thinks he's so much better than he actually is, and those are the worst type of players for teams actually trying to compete

His dad blames Luka for his son missing those shots like that, with his stupid hair.

Mavs are just the better team when they play within their system + their defense is on. OKC has no personality at all, i don't know what they are trying to do (or Dallas' D is just too good)

If LeBron was drafted in this era he would have been very similar to Luka. He would've been more offense mindset with a improved jumper since the beginning.

That's why Luka has high scoring game potential
He's this era's LeBron with Hardens playstyle

Seems like OKC's offense is either SGA attacking the rim or a 3 pointer, not much else.
