[@jaredpurcell3982]

The NBA coverage is going to be dogwater. ESPN down bad.

[@steviechampagne]

Anyone who takes these corporate media clowns seriously is the casual fan who this content is made for. NBA might have the most casual fan base of any major sport. Discourse is mega cooked

[@727-Gaming]

The same people said Klay was washed…

[@bo0gi3]

yup.

[@leetraviusmckay314]

"Bradley Beal ended up looking like a Washington Wizard" 😂

[@SuperAliciakeysfan]

Luka Kyrie Klay on defense is FOOD💯

[@Tr33Tr331]

😂😂😂

[@MickHale]

naji, grimes, d Live, gafford, pj are not tho. It's all about how J kidd staggers the minutes of those 3 guys and just rotations in general.

[@ADot-f2d]

​@@MickHale💯

[@leobreed9563]

Let Irving run point and Doncic run that treadmill

[@TinasheMangwiro-wh5nw]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@kobe8413]

That's almost as funny as Twolves in 4😂👍

[@steviechampagne]

Luka clears your star player (no matter who it is)😅

[@Gen5Switchy]

Irving is not a floor general

[@thebestever160]

if Dullass can figure out a way for Pooka to run to all-you-can-eat buffet restaurants, they'll be good

[@DMaintain]

Prediction for next season Mvp: Luka 6man: Josh hart Dpoy: Victor Mip: Scoot Henderson Coach of the yr: Tom Thibodeau

[@fightnight14]

Oladipo for DPOY ✌🏼

[@steven_green]

😂😂😂 yooo I swear that's the first thing came to my mind ​@fightnight14

[@Dariusproductions]

I can see Jason kidd to be coach or the year

[@Baja2424]

All wrong

[@tadiwanashechogugudza3164]

isn't josh hart a starter??😢

[@nitoshadow]

As a mavs fan I’m not worried if he sit out some games Gives the team a chance to put more defense on the floor

[@Dariusproductions]

Facts

[@bigred0079]

But you got no defense Kyrie and the soon to be 35 klay who seems to get a little weary late in the season.

[@Joe_Ma99]

@@bigred0079 ⁠The mavs play team defense and the other guys on the floor are good defenders. You just need effort from kyrie and klay.

[@thebestever160]

you must be new to the NBA, or at least outside of the Dullass universe --- Klank Washedson will cry, complain &/or sulk if you sit, bench or lessen his minutes

[@hendrikdalnoot1989]

Does this comment make sense? Great they put some defense out there, if they can’t score won’t matter

[@bo0gi3]

Luka for MVP

[@Mark-xl1ze]

Go Mavs!

[@benben8054]

Luka should be happy with mark cuban , he putting luka in a great position to win by putting talent around him

[@iamlegendarylos1449]

Cuban has no part of the Mavericks anymore he probably just has manager role or assistant manager or a very small role the person who really put all this together was who he hired NICO HARRISON from Nike

[@erickhines4121]

Sounds like load management

[@snoopwillpac]

He couldn't hold his smile back I'm glad for bro but all them being healthy and learning how to play together it's gonna b ama

[@Shaun-vc5og]

Yeah haha it looks like he's holding back an awesome secret. Makes me even more excited for this season.

[@mikelcris8313]

Mavs winning the championship this season no contest the west is weaker

[@Hooperd2023]

You’re kidding. The West got so much better it’s insane. The Thunder, Kings, Suns, Grizzlies and Pels all got better. Minnesota will still be good as well as Denver.

[@2019_NBA_CHAMPS]

Mavs defence is sus…. 2nd round exit sounds about right.

[@peezydabeatmonster8112]

No defense from the big 3 at all🤣

[@bertandserieux1617]

Until they run into Boston Celtics

[@rubenedakkara9227]

Last year was a fluke run. Mavs are soft as charmin

[@jordan_unbound870]

Is there gonna be enough ball movement in their offense to routinely generate a high scoring offense? Indy may be poised to lead in scoring again.

[@nitoshadow]

Only when Luka isn’t in the game He holds the ball too long offense flows better when it’s ran thru Kyrie

[@jordan_unbound870]

@nitoshadow right. I'm not saying they can't score efficiently during the regular season, but I don't see that style resulting in high scores unless they're just on fire 60-70% of the time.

[@nitoshadow]

@@jordan_unbound870 all comes down to how j Kidd coach the team and if he force them to play team ball

[@alexandresampaio558]

​@@nitoshadow dallas play way better when luka its on the court

[@ambo6251]

champs

[@tiG]

Lol, no impact with Klay on Mavs. My opinion 😂

[@davismichaud507]

Th joy. Man looks baked 😂

[@HoopsAficionado]

The Mavs have one of the deepest teams in the league: PG: Luka / Dinwiddie / Exum. SG: Kyrie / Grimes SF: Klay / Naji Marshall PF: PJ Washington / O-Max Prosper C: Lively / Gafford / Kleber / Powell.

[@thebestever160]

i hope the Sloppy Ricks fanbase is ready for Klank Washedson's awful shot selection & below average defense

[@WutTheDeuceGaming]

Yeah, they might score a lot, but they're also not stopping anyone on the perimeter. Those 3 guys cannot play a lick of defense.

[@pg13pacernation30]

Imagine the MAVS running double drag screens where Kyrie is The first screener and KLAY is the second screener. That play will be very Tough to guard! 😤 Even just A luka/klay pick n pop/roll will be hard to stop.

[@Onyxguru77]

It would be nice to get one basketball season where none of the stars get hurt

[@shenhengyu]

How about the defence?

[@georgesharrison6158]

Man How an Olympic Gold Medal 🥇 makes the Difference, Not so long ago we were Talking About Who Should Trade For KD, Who Should Trade to Bradley, now We Are Talking Contenders, Prisoner of Moments. So Now That We Seen the Rockets Also Have Pillow Skills, I Guess They Will Be Contenders as well. A Very Healthy Bradley Beal Is a Very Healthy Colon after Years Of Alcoholism, Does Not Match The Story.

[@rossjohnson2996]

Can I ask why is it expected by the media for Mavs defense to fall off? We lost Derrick Jones Jr good defender not great! Replaced him with Marshall who in my opinion is a great defender. We still have our core defensive centers and wings! I think Mavs will be a top ten defense

[@hendrikdalnoot1989]

We won’t be top with Luka, Kyrie and Klay starting

[@amadoubalde9938]

I knew it there’s just no way the mavs or 76ers are staying healthy for 82 games…im telling u.

[@Waldawg75]

Clay is wash up the team will be kno better then they was last year and i stamp that

[@carlcoleman5762]

I thought y'all said Klay was washed

[@healthfadsfade]

I love that idiots are doubting the FACT that the Mavs are the favorites in the West. Y'all didn't watch any of the playoffs lmfao?

[@leetraviusmckay314]

"Denver need Russ like old people need soft shoes" 😂

[@Tr33Tr331]

Spurs in a Western Conference final series

[@stevensmall9299]

Luka dominated possession just like Lebron does they both stats accumulate quickly and it slows the offense down? Never going to lead in scoring!

[@SHAIVONTEDAGOD]

They wouldn't lead the NBA in scoring with Klank Thompson on the team 😩

[@nitoshadow]

Never gonna get use to klay wearing 31 Jason terry the only one that can pull it off

[@Onyxguru77]

Yeah until he knocks down 300 three's a year for the next 3 years

Hey some people just gotta worry because that’s exactly what they do.

[@bskrilz]
