Mav’s lose to Real Madrid 123-127…Wow.
Vincent Poirier had 19pts, 10rebs, 6blks. Guerschon Yabuselle added 18pts, 9rebs, 3stls and Facundo Campazzo with 20pts, 8ast, 6rebs.
Dallas looks set for a BAD season.
I actually like their top two but their supporting cast is all wrong. Too many young ones. Too many non-defender veteran role players (T Hardaway, Kleber). They are in trouble.
Another missed playoffs looks likely.
They shot themselves in the foot when they traded for Kyrie, then they doubled down on it. Beginning of the end for Luka's time in Dallas. Still, can't dump on them for losing a game where Luka played 5 minutes total and Kyrie didn't even play.
I don’t care if Luka and Kyrie didn’t play, they just lost to Euroleague team that features Gerschon Yabuselle and Vincent Poirier. They have zero NBA caliber players. That’s just embarrassing.
I didn't see the game but it seems like a pretty bad indication if DAL supporting cast after Luka and Kyrie is no better than a EuroLeague team.
Yeah, I’m betting hard on the Mavs under after their preseason showing so far. I already doubted them after their finish last year and wasn’t overly impressed with their offseason, but they’ve looked awful so far, first against Minny and now against Madrid.
Team killer Kyrie will do that to a team. Heck even the Cavs were better without Kyrie playing most of the 3 years he was there. He is an immensely talented offensive player that obviously can help you win when he is on, but he is wildly inconsistent and doesn't play defense, let alone all the off court things. Kyrie is the most overrated player in the sport and is becoming one of the most overrated players in the sports entire history. He destroys every team he is on and is ko where near good enough to suffer through his nonsense.
