The Mavs clogging the paint prevents our ballhandlers from driving and dishing. That’s the only reason we’re not getting a lot of shots up

good point. still crazy he didn't get a look off a oreb or they didn't run him off a screen on the perimeter maybe they are worried about moving screens leading to early first half fouls adding up

like how Harper found ways to get involved, crashed off glass and cut to basket
 
Good news is nothing looks wrong with Castle's shooting form. A couple of his misses were fatigue-related imo, which will improve as the season goes on.
 
Some quick observations:

- Wemby is HIM. MVP & DPOY in year 3 is possible
-The lineup options are surreal after the last 6 seasons.
-Sochan looks as disengaged on the bench as LeBron last night
-The defense is already pretty sharp, lots of room to grow
-If this is the new Vassell, I want him on the this team. Period.
-Wemby's leadership and the overall communication on the court is significantly improved
-Harper will settle down, already looks like he belongs
-Castle is picking up where he left off last year. Bringing the nasty.....also nasty at the line
 
Wemby heard all the shit I use to talk about him being soft getting bullied out of the paint by guards

Wouldn't worry. It's game 1, and a 9 point half lead while shooting like garbage at the line. Free throws will come around.

Wembanyama looks like a create a player with height and guard skills maxed to 99. He really dialed in the reckless stuff from the preseason. Just need more of the same from the team in the 2nd half, especially on the ball defense.
 
Isn't it too late to get Chip Engelland back? He already had his ring. Popovich is gone, and he can become a legend with #1. Just saying.
 
I think harper started 0-4 and is 4-8 at the half with 8 pts so he recovered nicely after early jitters

Disagree a bit on the last part, Steph looks way better tonight than he did at any point last season.

did not look at Sochan but did Lebron enjoy the Lakers losing last night ... his smirky face was funny

im sure he heard it all off-season. im sure hakeem also told him he could dominate inside with his skillset
 
Love this new defense. Still far from where we want it but encouraging.

The luxury of having Wemby in the back. Encouraged by Vassell these past few games on D, lets see if its for real.

If this Vassell becomes the real Vassell I won't be able to believe my eyes. He's even avoided passing up the pass to work himself into a difficult shot, and that's been his trademark for years.
 
Chuck is right, Flagg at PG is dumb. He’s supposed to set up all these other scrubs for a bucket? Castle saying nah
 
will Dallas attack the dribble of Wemby more in the 2nd half? so far he can roam freely into the paint
