You know, for a team that has won two championships in the past three years, they sure do act like they never catch a break and it’s never their fault.

klay thompson had a big ol' cry about mozgov setting a not even hard screen on him like a week after claiming a flying knee and a kick to the balls were pure basketball plays, and like 4 days before claiming a 3rd(4th?) nutshot of the playoffs was totally fine and its unbelievable anyone would call it dirty. crybaby rear end bitches

Dallas Mavericks: Generations
I only watched the Mavs first game but man are they not deep enough to handle missing 3 rotation players. A team like this is ruined just missing one. Really doesn't help that Dirk, Barnes, and Matthews have all started the season shooting poorly. Would probably be better if they started Noel at center, Dirk at pf, Barnes at sf, Matthews at sg, and Yogi at point. (at least until DSJ, Curry, and Harris get back.) If they are going to have a bad season, I hope it's bad enough to get the number 1 pick. I get that Barnes was better at the 4 last season but Dirk at center might be rough this year.

It all started out so well with DSJ having a sweet first game, then he had a knee issue and apparently Matthews can't hit a shot this season unless DSJ passes it to him. I understand Matthews is the best perimeter defender on the team but I hope he shoots well enough to be valuable enough to trade at the deadline. I would like the team to give Noel and Curry decent deals (assuming they don't have terrible seasons.) They can at least build for a decent future with those two, DSJ, Barnes, Yogi, Finney-Smith, and their next draft pick.

There is no way they will be as bad as the Suns.

Jazz are deep.

Also, the Raptors managed to get Powell and OG for Greisvis, incredible. Also, their bench is playing great. If Delon ever gets a jump shot, he will be gooooooooooooood.

It's going to be the same problem as last season, when everyone is healthy they will be too good to be the worst team but not good enough to ruin their draft status. Hopefully Silver rigs the draft so the Mavs can get a new Euro superstar. Luka has plenty of time to win his own.

Really, really curious to see how badly the Pelicans beat up the Lakers tomorrow. If it's a close game, I think the Suns might be OKish. If the Lakers get stomped, I'm thinking the Suns are 11-12 Bobcats bad, which really doesn't even make sense? They definitely have at least 2-3 NBA players on their roster

Lakers are real bad at guarding anyone with range at the 4 or 5 though, the Pelicans are a rough matchup unless Lonzo continues his exponential growth and records his first quintuple double.
