Dallas by way of Houston by way of San Antonio
Man can't wait until tomorrow. Biggest difference I think we'll see between last year's game one to this years will be lack of TOs from Vic. He was trying to showcase his handles too much. With Paul handling the set up, he can focus purely on scoring with 1-2 dribbles tops. Also, as much as had been made about the rivalry with Chet, Derrick Lively made a statement in that first game last year. I can Wemby having the mindset of returning the favor.

Sochan will have to really be smart on defense. Refs let Luka get away with that off-arm pushoff every time he drives, so he'll have to be disciplined to not overcompensate in bodying up Luka.

Honestly, I think we steal a win if we keep Klay below double-figures. I think Dallas will push to establish him, so if he has a cold night, game is ours for the taking.

It's gonna be a long season with Tre Jones.

Teams are gonna target him when he enters the game.

Wemby looks pissed that he's off to a slow start.

Prolly (or definitely) biased but seems like folks are gettin away with a ton a’ contact against Wemby with no whistle.

There isn't enough space for Wemby to work when he gets the ball.

He's either catching it near the 3 pt line, or he's in the post but he's getting pushed by his defender and shaded by Luka or someone else. It's not a straight double team but kinda.
