The Dallas Mavericks defense got off to a horrific start in the preseason finale against the LA Lakers. But itās not about how you start, itās how you finish. The unit came alive in the second half and completely throttled the shorthanded Lakers, outscoring LA 68-28 in the second half en route to a 121-94 win. Anthony Davis led the team with 18 points while Cooper Flagg, PJ Washington, Klay Thompson, and Dereck Lively II combined for 50.

Nah stop this bullshit. Bwill is the point guard option one after Kyrie. Even dlo is not as good as bwill
If this preseason ends up being indicative of the year to come, this could be rough to watch… š¬
It's the preseason. Analyzing this like of it was a real game is useless.
Decided to to remove the comment. It probably came across as me attacking Kevin's role in the show and that is not what I wanted to do. I apologize to Kevin for what I thought was objective criticism but came across as more than that.
Playing that many early home games is pressure. You're still getting your footing and you can't afford to get in a hole. The away teams are playing with nothing to lose. Losing some away games early is what it is. Losing home games early is a hole you have to make up by winning more away games later, which is not something you want to bet on.
Is a 5'11 ancient CP3 any less of a defensive liability than Ryan Nembhard or D'Angelo Russell? Nembhard is the best candidate to run the offense. Brandon Williams is the only other candidate. DLo is who we choose if we want scoring, damn the defense or running a good offense. Sucks Exum is injured and DSJ kinda sucks now.
I would roll out Nembhard, Klay, PJ, Flagg, Davis. Bring Lively off the bench. Or if we want, more backcourt defense, maybe start Max Christie over Klay? He's not Klay as a shooter but he's a better defender and a solid shooter.
Great show you guys nailed it on everything, but you said we should destroy teams with bad offense, what would you consider the Lakers roster in the first half to be?
