The Cuban vs Vivek debate is kind of like arguing over whether you’d rather eat broken glass or a handful of needles.

Right. I don’t want to seem like I’m defending Vivek here but the correct answer appears to be that both guys suck?

 

[Woot!]

No kidding. As *debates* go, that one is pretty uninspiring.

We’re talking about guys who’ve decided Luke Walton and Jason Kidd are acceptable options to lead their teams.

One has a championship and the other does not. There really is no comparison.

I don’t know if anybody is watching warm ups on league pass but the “nun and priest” pretending to tongue kiss on cam was pretty funny.

Been watching Justin Fields do a Russ Wilson impression.

The championship was ten years ago. The rest of the league has adjusted.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Who goes off for the Kings today?

 

[Tetsujin]

This Mavs court remains one of the most obnoxious designs in pro sports.

 

[Sluggah]

Thinking to myself ‘these Mavs fans dress funny’ … *checks calendar*

 

[Tetsujin]

Terence Davis is gonna bust out of his slump. (Or get a DNP-CD)

 

[Tetsujin]

Thinking to myself ‘these Mavs fans dress funny’ … *checks calendar*

It would appear a lot of Mavs fans came dressed as empty seats.

 

[kb02]

So guess Cuban should just wipe that from his resume?

It’s not as if the Mavs are sitting still. They do have a top 5 player, one that they traded for, while the Kings are sitting the number 2 pick in that same draft. Is that not adjusting as well?

By that metric though are we supposed to credit Dan Gilbert for happening to own the franchise int he city where Lebron James happened to be from and getting a ring for it? Cuban gets credit for the Suns and Kings being stupid?

 

[Tetsujin]

Mavs already running DFS postups for some reason.

 

[iowamcnabb]

I love that you actually have to try to score this year instead of contact hunting. Best chance the NBA has made in years

 

[Sluggah]

Not feeling great about this game suddenly.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings apparently still asleep.

 

[New Era]

Can somebody please let me know what Harkless does that helps us?

 

[SLAB]

I have like … zero worries about the Mavs. We beat good Luka with a good coach multiple times last season. Now they have Fat Luka and Jason Kidd.

…. so that said, the Mavs are probably winning by 30 tomorrow.

.

Lol whoops

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Can somebody please let me know what Harkless does that helps us?

To hear some people around here tell it, Harkless' primary value appears to be to prevent Walton from having to play Bagley.

Cuban gets credit for trading a two firsts to get Luka. Luka didnt fall into their lap.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kings missing everything while Mavs hitting all their threes

 

[iowamcnabb]

Yeh let’s just weather this

 

[Tetsujin]

Jason Kidd really gonna burn his challenge on a 50-50 ball mid-way through the first quarter?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Step into my office Luka, I’d be happy to explain why you’re wrong.

 

[Woot!]

Mavs, and especially Luka, come out sharp and aggressive. As expected after Friday. Let's see if the Kings snap out of itt.

Their perimeter D on Luka has been embarrassing. Can we muster a *little* resistance, pls?

 

[Tetsujin]

Tristan boxes out. Gets fouled for it. That's better.
