Didnt think Rick would go there but I likey. 
Now just curious to see how Brunson, Barea, and Seth end up getting used. Dont exactly want Seth at small forward.

Finally we can put a rest to mostly midgetball.

So, TV outside of DFW - only on League Pass?

I live in Austin, grew up in Plano, Mavs fan since about 1993.

Yes - LP, actually 'Team Pass', is my solution for watching the Mavs at ~$120/season.  I only pay for the Team Pass option, which allows you to watch all games for your selected team that are not on: 1) ESPN, 2) TNT, or 3) NBA TV, which means about 70-80% of all the regular season games played.

Yeah, I grew up in Irving, Mavs fan since 1980. Job is 75% travel, so I don't pay for TV at home. League pass is not really an option for me. Streaming it is, I guess.

If you're into streams, try this:  https://sportsurge.net/  It's where all of the high quality Reddit streams went once they cracked down.  Just make sure you have an ad blocker and you'll be fine.

If they can't beat a team starting Ish Smith, Bonga, Thomas Bryant and a rookie then things have gone horribly wrong.
In fact if they are the starters who the hell is on their bench?!?!?!?!?!?

Mavs by 15, with KP and Luka playing under 30mins but still scoring over 20pts each.

I am also a long time season ticket holder 1981 to 2014. Now in Houston, playing golf in January and paying $199 for the whole League Pass package on Comcast Xfinity. I do watch maybe 15 other games that have special interest to me each year. I watch every Maverick game as I always have though now days I record (DVR) most of them to save time. Even if I know they lost, I am still watching team progress. It hurts less to watch if I have already grieved over the loss.

Thanks so much for this. Especially us out of towners, we don't see these interviews except for here.

Listen I got a gem for you guys.

I was using Kodi for the last few years and it was cool streaming shows that may have already aired and all that good stuff or movies ect but live tv was either awful or I had to pay the cable company too much money. Wife and I looked into a company called GearsTV, looks like the video game symbol and it had a bunch of full hd channels at like 15 bucks a month and comes with a guide.

So we got it and hoped for the best and we've never been happier. Lol this sounds like a sales pitch like I work for them ahahaha. I don't btw. Its like 2k channels USA and BBC comes with all the local channels like I'm out of Los Angeles but watch FSSW when I want to catch Mavs games that would be blacked out here when playing the Clips or Lakers on League Pass.

All the streams work as fast and look like regular cable. They don't look like internet streams at all and go 4k 1080 and 720 if you have so so connection.

Think we pay 17 bucks for all the channels and the 2 extra dollars is for a channel guide. Looks like direct TV guide imo.

But it comes with everything. All movie local music sports pay per view Sunday ticket league pass adult channels all that. Local channels are the coolest part imo. Always get to watch your own announcers if you want.

Anyway I hope that helps you guys. Btw its not just for Kodi its a stand alone as well you can toss on a fire stick or lap top and HDMI to the tele..

Just youtube gearstv to get more of a visual. Sure beats frontrowsports!

This lineup tells me Rick is as worried about our defense as I am, minus defenders Brunson and Hardaway not in the starting lineup even though there seemed like a chance one of them might start after decent preseasons

Might be a little clunky on offense if Luka isn't shooting hot though

Good chance to evaluate Delon's defense against an elite SG though

Should be a win though, after looking at the Wizard's roster I'll make a bold prediction: the Knicks will be better than the Wiz

[j0Shi]

Easy effing WWWWWWW

Things to watch:

• Life without DP
  
• Starting unit scoring punch
  
• Will JJB's production justify his minutes played?
  
• Wright / KP / Luka chemistry
  
• Curry playing time (he was a non-factor in preseason)
  
• BOOOOOOOBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
  
• Battle on the wings: THJ vs. Dodo vs. Jackson

I was also thinking the offense for that lineup might be clunky. If Luka and KP together can create a potent lineup out of one that would otherwise be offensively clunky, then that's an great thing.

So, you think Brunson is a minus defender? I don't think that at all.
