My impressions:
1. I didn't know I am watching LakerTV. Come on NBA, that is just ridiculous. 98 % time speaking about Lakers and barely mentioning Mavs here and there.
2. First half was on a very good level. Guys didn't seem very rusty, much better basketball than I expected.
3. Our starting five are excellent offensively. This will be a very dangerous line-up. Seth was smoking hot on offense but is a bit of a liability on defense.
4. Second five were bad, mostly due to bad playmaking. Barea was by far worst guy on floor. Zero effect today, punding the ball and not creating anything. Wright still seems lost in the system to me, reminds me a lot of DSJ. He is not a defensive force we would like him to be either. Mavs will have serious problems with Luka resting.
5. Judging after game 1, I am optimistic. Guys look ready. Luka, KP, Curry, THJ, DFS, Maxi, Bobi are capable rotation players. We desperately need Wright to step up. And hope there are no injuries, as bench is really thin.
