GAME 1: San Antonio Spurs (0-1) vs. Dallas Mavericks (1-0)| 119-126 WIN!

[LukaMVP]

would have won the game already if we had Thybulle instead of GW. Grant is a good role player but a bit overrated. no wonder Boston let him walk.

[SleepingHero]

Luka Doncic is an incredible player.

[Ghost of Podkolzin]

By game 10 we'll be wanting to send GWill to the Legends.

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

Is Powell out tonight?

Good signs from Luka being in shape and not giving refs death stares yet.

[SleepingHero]

Okay Grant!! Finally first 3!

---

And then Grant negates the Wemby 3!!

[SleepingHero]

Jeez my goodness Kyrie.

---

Maxi looks 10 steps slow out there.

[Chicagojk]

Man the defense is awful. Lively at least was a presence. Without him Spurs getting anything they want.

[SwisherPrice]

Lively could already be the best big man on the roster and it may not even be close. It's going to be hard to NOT play him 30+ minutes in year 1 because the dropoff is huge when he's not on the floor

[The Jom]

Just Kleber and Lively at center so far? Interesting.

It says more to how bad Powell and Maxi have fallen off vs. how good Lively is currently. Crazy how this front office is unwilling/unable to get a starting center for 19 out of the last 23 years

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

Maxi looks cooked

[Chicagojk]

Let’s finish the half strong. Put a lot of work to tie it only to give up 5 quick points.

[SleepingHero]

Maxi as the lone big with G-Will has given up a 12-0 run.

[Chicagojk]

Let’s finish the half strong.  Put a lot of work to tie it only to give up 5 quick points.

Ok maybe not.  Ouch.

Grant has been really poor so far.  3 turnovers too?

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

Vassell looking like prime Klay Thompson

[SleepingHero]

Green also not being in means the perimeter D is just not there.

---

OK GRANT!! QUICK 6 POINTS!

[HoosierDaddyKid]

I see why they gave Vassell that extension. He can play. Grant Williams has woke up.

[SleepingHero]

Luka's defense has been a breath of fresh air.

[ThisIStheYear]

It’s pretty clear. When Maxi and grant play, the team is cheeks. When they’re out of the game, things go well. Maxi is no longer an NBA rotation player. Grant can help in spots but needs to be in the right matchup.

[Chicagojk]

Ok maybe not.  Ouch.

Grant has been really poor so far.  3 turnovers too?

Hmmm… then he scores 7 in a row.

I don’t think Maxi as the 5 is going to work.   Just not a fit with the rest of our players
