Honestly I couldn’t get very far in the game after realizing that…to be fair there’s so many other better games out right now…

Oh fuck I had forgotten. Time to play that shit again.

I have to admit I’m surprised at the 3-0 start. As others have said, the team has responded when it mattered and that’s the difference between winning and losing in this league.

Specifically, I did not suspect Tim Hardaway to play such a big role over the younger Hardy and Omax. Looking back I guess it makes sense. They’re already giving the rookie Lively so many minutes right off the bat and they want to win now. Timmy has responded well and I can’t help but wonder if they’re showcasing him for a possible trade for another 3 and D wing.

I’m also surprised that Richaun Holmes hasn’t played a single minute yet. He put up 14.2 pts/8.3 rebounds 2 seasons ago for the Kings so I expected him to have some utility on a team with Mavs’ big man woes. I’m guessing a healthy Maxi/DP with their familiarity of Dallas’ system and Lively’s quick ascension both have something to do with his lack of playing time. I can only assume he’s a ‘break glass in case of emergency’ option waiting for us in the wings.

Derrick Jones Jr 22 points! If that wasn’t a fluke we may have the 3 and D guy we’ve been looking for to replace DFS/Bullock. I love his energy. Maybe Kidd was onto something?

Omax must really be struggling with acclimating if he gets no minutes. All 3 games being close maybe the reason why?

All in all I haven’t been this excited to be a Mavs fan since Luka’s 2nd year. Very fun.
