- Certainly better than game one but obviously against a much weaker opponent. Agree with Chicajojk. Biggest winner on the Mavs side so far is De Larrea. May mentioned Sasser as one of the camp standouts but based on what I have seen De Larrea should be in the top 8-10 rotation.
- Kyrie adds a level of gravity that the Mavs have been missing even though he looked rusty.
- Risacher/Biberovic/Christie group is doing more or less what I expected them to do. They can shoot and I guess we have to hope that at some point one of them is showing some kind of playmaking ability or at least something that suggests that one of them can be a plus defender. I guess Risacher is at least trying to play with energy but it feels like he is forcing things that
he isn't comfortable with.
- PJ looked better next to Flagg than Naji. Naji much better of the bench. Both seemingly aren't in game shape yet.
- Biggest concern after two preseason games is the center rotation. Not a good look for the rest of the guys when the guy that isn't even on the main roster is outplaying them. Cisse has been pretty bad (seems to have some injury issue). Gafford offers more on offense but is beyond bad on defense.
