Some good nuggets in this for anyone who has an Athletic subscription. Got mine at a $1 a month for a year.

Here's my favorite tidbit:

The Good:
Irving, Dončić are already sensational together

In the duo’s first 58 minutes playing together, the Mavericks have scored 131.2 points per 100 possessions. That’s more than spectacular, better than ridiculous, far hotter than the Fahrenheit scale is meant to measure. Dončić alone had the team averaging 120.8 points per 100 possessions in all of his minutes on the court, a better mark than the league’s best offense. Add Irving, and the unsolvable dilemma he poses becomes something more akin to the math equation posed for a passing grade at the beginning of a graduate-level astronomical physics class — and Matt Damon doesn’t play in the NBA.

Rest assured, there will be more to say about how good these two are when on the court together. For now, trust me; it’s been brilliant.
