GDT: game 1 - Mavs (0-0) at Hawks (0-0) 6:30pm TNT
Mavs start the season with a classic clash of the draft stars. Young v. Doncic
Hawks are favored (-4 66% chance of winning), so let's ruin some gambler's days.
According to scouting reports, Mavs have no injured players. Hawks will be missing Gallo.

Pumped for the season to start! I’m excited to see how different they play with a new coaching staff in place, and we got some new guys that look like they will get plenty of playing time. Also looking forward to seeing how they utilize KP. I’m still terrified everytime I see him drive to the hoop and dunk the ball. Always afraid those flamingo legs of his are going to bend a weird direction when he lands.
Still going to have the same issue as last year watching games though I’m afraid.
I bought an Amazon Firestick. Anyone have any tips/apps to use to allow me to watch games in there?

TNT app is absolute @$Q#$. Test it before the game because TNT on Fire Stick last year showed video but no audio. If you are okay with that and have a login, then it's fine. I sometimes just do the TNT video and then get the Mavs radio streamed on my phone. Maybe they fixed it.
Other than that, I'd love some advice. I hear there are some good streaming sites that are pass-throughs of the Reddit/NBAStreams sites but without all the popups and ads.

I’ll have no problems with nationally televised games (assuming they aren’t blacked out) because I can get TNT and espn. I more concerned with games only shown on Bally Sports because I don’t have that channel. I’m hoping to avoid the Reddit route this year and all the pop ups if possible.

Mavs are going to mash tonight.
What a fn Sht show Cuban and the NBA has going with the broadcast situation right now. I'd like to punch him in the mouth just in principle because of this lol. Even though I am able to watch it, I still feel like he hasn't done enough regarding this and he spends 95% more of his time on a stupid ass Covid war on Twitter than even addressing the broadcast failure. Imo, it's be enough failure to be online apologizing every day. That's the only way I'd feel better about.

Even the fire stick was finicky last night. I had to copy and paste the link to my computer because it wasn't working lol. But hey, it worked on the computer.

Wow I actually saw a post up attempt by Kleber
Now he didn't get the ball but that was quite surprising.

1) We need to play Bullock with Luka.
2) We need to not play Brunson with Luka this much. Luka isn't an "off-ball" player. The only time Brunson should play with Luka this much is if Luka is consistently getting double teamed.

Carlisle must have told Kidd that Powell will be 10x's better this year if you keep him as a starter LOL

Atlanta looks like a team… We look pretty much the same as last year. Without a pick and roll partner for Luka who can actually finish at the rim we will never be true contenders.

Hey it could be worse. At least they got back on the fast break and prevented an easy layup at the buzzer

Glad our big off-season signing (Bullock) is keeping the bench warm.

Atlanta's team is so much better around young than ours is around Luka.. Hunter, Capela, Collins would all immediately be our 2nd best player

We were saving our live and die by 3 until reg season. Luls.
Sterling and Bullock were trash.
Luka has to get going.
We started strong but then all the sudden became hesitant. Over penetrating and forcing bad lobs, taking bad 3s and getting lost and losing focus defensively.
All on the players, nothing I see has to do with the staff.

No roll men who can finish at the rim, no interior defensive presence, no two way wing players that do anything other than jack up threes

I was just playing with NBA Trade Machine.
Not like this trade makes any sense, but it gets approved, and Mavs gain 23 wins!
Mavs get: Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, and Isaiah Jackson
76ers get: Kristaps Porzingis and Jalen Brunson
Pacers get: Trey Burke

I had a feeling that we'd get owned by the Hawks. I should have taken this $500 bet. Someone wanted to bet me that the Mavericks would win. I didn't want to go against the Mavericks though. lmao
