      Cuban's genius FA plans ****d up Mavs pretty bad. No way this squal gels together. Poor Dirk

        i think they'll be ok, they have a lot of older guys, they'll need some time. The main issue right now seems energy. Especially the big guys, and that's their strength this year.

        I just wonder if it's all worth it. Who will they get this summer?

          and DC just got left alone in the low post defending their center. He was pushing poor DC any way he wanted. Clearly the Mavs aren't sharp at all at the moment, they'll get much better.

          edit: the center is 7'2 260, no wonder it looked so funny

            wow overreaction much? Camp started a week ago and the whole team is basically new they will need a few months to gel and learn each others games. Don't worry the Pacers just like every team in the NBA will play sloppy in the preseason main reason there is a preseason so teams can gel and knock the rust off. If they still look sloppy in early January maybe I would be concerned but making a statement like that a week into camp is just silly. Basketball isnt played on paper main reason the Heat didn't win a ring their first year the whole team was new and needed to learn each other. While Dallas 2 years ago was a veteran team who had been together as a core for a long time believe it or not that is pretty important in the NBA.

            keep in mind these euro teams are mid way though their seasons they should be outplaying Dallas.

            Cuban's(or Dallas's GM and basketball ops team) plan wont be able to get graded until after FA next off season.

              Firstly, they are not through midway their season, euro basketball leagues not EVEN started in most countries. In Spain it started and I watched Barca's first game they lost at home to weak oppenent, i dont remember exactly but they probably lost their second game too. Euroleague didnt started yet.

              Other than that learn how to express your feelings without saying words like silly.

              Finally about subject; What I wrote was my bold statement about Dallas, and its not because the game they played, Its because the squad they had like I said in my msg.

                Barcy has been together for over 2months and has a similar team 2 last year. While Dallas has a brand new team. Cuban is trying to semi compete after missing out on Dwill I think his goal is 2 lure a top notch FA this summer IMO u can't grade them until then. I like what they did have guys who expire next year and it came from no where. I figured after they missed on Dwill they wouldn't even field a team who could win 30gms and still be players 4 cp3 and D12 next summer was remarkable IMO.

                  I recall Phil Jackson's first Laker team looking like garbage over 8 preseason games, and subsequently winning 67 games and the championship.

                  It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

                  Division Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 1989, 1990, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
                  Conference Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 2005
                  NBA Champions 1989, 1990, 2004

                    If we judge and make assumptions for one team only from the preseason let alone their first game, then we have rather lost the plot i think.

                      .....eight nba teams felt this kid wasn't worth drafting? Seriously?

                      Hey, I know it's only preseason, but....wow. You can't tell me there are that many NBA teams not in need of a center that massive and athletic.

                        i was about to write, is there any point to have Will Bynum in the NBA, and he hits a buzzer 3, lol.

                        Drummond's impressive. shooting touch is nonexistant. but otherwise, fun to watch

                        Stuckey looked well too. this team makes much more sense now, might compete for a playoff spot with some luck

                        damn, i didn't realize the Pacers are playing too

                        on another note: Terrence Jones looked well for the Rockets in the first game. But they are playing PFs at all 3 frontcourt spots at times, it was predictable obviously, but it's a shame.
                        And Lin is keeping up his turnovers pace.

                          watching the heat/clipper replay... Allen playing alongside James ain't fair.

                            Well...Drummond managed to very quickly become the story of the first week of preseason.....

                            Eventually, he wont be allowed to play as free and loose as he was last night, but in the other side, he did all his damage with Greg Monroe on the bench. I'm sure frank will play them both together tomorrow night.

                            It's been a long time since I've seen a pistons team with this much young talent, but I don't know if they're ready to start winning yet. Time will tell when the games start to actually matter.

                            I'm very glad we have tayshaun with the starters and maggette with the reserves. So much youth on this team, those guys will be crucial.

                            Other notes...jerebko finally looks like he has his hops back from his Achilles tear two years ago, and Brandon knight has definitely tightened up his handle.

                              Did League Pass Broadband stop working for anyone else? This worked for the last Pacer game, now the link to open the console just stays white and doesn't load.
