    Mavs media a little too confident of their chances vs. Clippers.

    Even Iko thinks that Mavs are DORK horses. :D

    They have Rick Carlisle who I think is the best coach in the NBA right now.

    Best coach.

    And the great white hope, the unicorn, shooters everywhere, deep bench ... but are fighting to stay out of 8th.

    LOL - RIGHT

    Who would've thought Dallas would have a .600 winning percentage before the season started? That is an incredible achievement for a young team.

    I like Rockets defense over Mavs defense.

    And MDA will prove who has the better offense.

    Almost time.

    Not even gonna lie Doncic as a player scares the crap outta me. I’m not able to sleep thinking about this game. My anxiety is killing me. I want harden to score 60 and dominate this team. My whole thing is most teams harden can dominate and I don’t really worry about. But the mavs have great depth and are a solid 5.5 srs even when doncic sits on the bench. Not to mention harden can’t overcome mike getting out coached by rick Carlisle because doncic is the equalizer to James in a way

    Doncic rarely if ever has too many off shooting nights. He is a beast attacking the basket more so than even james because of his size. This is a game where if we had 2018 Ariza and luc I wouldn’t be sweating as much.

    something just tells me Doncic is not gonna have a bad game. And Carlisle has found a way to stifle hardens 3 point shooting in our matchups. Finney-Smith and Maxi Kleber on the perimeter generally do a decent job at making harden work hard for his points, and they also have underrated players such as jalen Brunson, Seth curry and delon Wright. I do not wanna face this team in the first round

    jalen bruson is out for the rest of the season and maxipad couldn't slow down harden even w/ a machete for klebbing bearded baby seals. you think ariza/luc from a couple yrs ago would be much better on doncic than covington?

    I almost think you didn't mention Porzingis.

    He is one of the keys. Solid defensively.

    7'3 long range shooter. And Kleber isn't a bad shooter as well.

    Forgot KP?

    We can agree on that nobody can stop Harden.

    It's the first official game, I do not expect a flawless game at all.

    Brad Stevens has done a disservice by resting all 7 rotation players.

    Yeah true, I think it will additionally boil down to the role players, D and 3 pt shooting as usual.

    KP will be regulated to the bench pretty quickly this game. I think

    If want to watch what do you guys recommend as best option?

    Willing to pay and had fubo but it didn't always have every game and was 56 a month..

    Nba app? Isn't there stupid blackouts for houston? Do i need to put a fake zip code or vpn? Not trying to become a hacker I just want to watch.

    Some other streaming?
    Please help thank you!

    I believe Reedit NBA streams might still be your best bet. Not as easy to find as before, but it's still there.
