RS 25/26 - Mavs vs Raptors (Oct. 26, 7:30 EST)

[Dirk]

Cheer up, it can't get worse. Can it?

[41Dirk41]

See 5 players in their best spots is a good start. Maybe the 3rd time is the right one.

[Baz]

Raptors are looking like a solid outfit so far. I can see the Mavs going 0-3.

[Darren]

The Mavs is exploring the road least travelled. It kinda like making history or bust out. That's no giant lineup on NBA floor ever. It takes a longer training camp to work things out. The reality is that the Mavs is over the 2nd apron, it's difficult to retool via trade. At this point, the Mavs has to develop more within. But first things first, cut down the turnovers with better spacing and passing As a team, cut down the team turnover under 12 per game. Take away the fast break points and paint scoring in transition first.

I think the Mavs has to set incentives for players to work on 3 point percentage like they did with Maxi Kleber. Maybe repeat what Mark Cuban did with home crowd when Wang Zhizhi made a 3. Do the same thing with Dlive. When Dlive make a 3, all the homecourt fans get a drink or a snack.

[Darren]

Ask DLive to take a 3 every 6 minutes played for example.

[41Dirk41]

Yes i agree, next step take the Washington Generals spot and play against the Globetrotters every 2 day. Great.

[Archx]

Raptors are quietly having a solid start but Mavs HAVE to win this one or Nico will be relegated back to the tunnel probably

[HMFFL]

Raptors will look to score inside. They scored 86 points in the paint on the Hawks.

Mavs need to attempt 40 three pointers and make them at a high percentage. Toronto can't shoot good enough to keep up so that's one reason why they will lose often this season.

Toronto +1.5

Wait, was he in his seat in those games? Really? Maybe he found his balls.

Yeah if you look closely he's been sitting in the middle seats right of the tunnel he's usually standing. It's hard to miss his head and he's always sitting completely still.

And if you also didn't know, Dumont was sitting courtside in the first game and a fan gave him the middle finger and said something to him when he walked past after the game

It's so funny

I don't think they will survive at this season honestly, they will be both out of city soon... Despite the vibes in bar sport are good

Thank goodness we got Flagg or I wouldnt watch another game.
That's why I'm on team tank for Peterson.

I'm completely numb if they win or lose. Like 99% of the Mavs fans, i just want that snake out of the FO. So the new era can actually begin.

[Maverick41]

AD really cannot defend on the perimeter at this point. Dude has stone feet and it seems like his glasses/goggles has significantly impacted his peripheral vision.

Also on offense, he's a ball stopper. He should be primarily a finisher, not a playmaker.

[Maverick41]

D-Lo shot terribly but at least he made some things happen on offense. Still not my cup of tea but it's better then seeing Klay or AD at the top of the key taking long contested jumpers at the end of the shot clock.

Flagg is playing very well and hustling his ass off but he's a rookie and clearly doesn't want to step on the veterans toes.

[Archx]

Without Flagg this team would probably go 0-50.

[Maverick41]

AD is so out of shape. His hands are on his knees every chance he can get. He's jogging or walking up the court on offense and defense almost every possession. I don't even see the guy on the screen sometimes because he's still on the other end. His numbers look good today but it does NOT tell the whole story.

Eye surgery = Doctor Mandated no excercise.
