[Harth234]

I love the mavs but we're gonna get destroyed.

[Romo2Witten82]

Just looking at that starting lineup and their pictures, makes me so scared

[Mataro41]

What I want the minutes to look like:

PG: Collison 28 minutes | Roddy 15 minutes | Cuningham 5 minutes
SG: Mayo 32 minutes | Dahntay 11 minutes | Roddy/Carter 5 minutes (Whoever is having a better game)
SF: Marion 22 minutes | Carter 20 minutes | Crowder 6 minutes
PF: Brand 32 minutes | Marion 10 minutes | Crowder 6 minutes
C: Kaman 30 minutes | Curry 12 minutes | Wright 6 minutes.


Basically, I want everyone to play lol.

[BlueJayFanDan]

Everyone should play. They have skill, we have depth. Depth>skill. Except we are going to lose by 15+ without Dirk. But still...Go Mavs!

[thedfactor]

I'm interested to see who will be in street clothes aside from Dirk since we can only dress 13. I say it should be DoJo. It's between him and Cunningham.

[asmarks18]

It better be DoJo. Assuming, West is cut and not him.

[mavsman21]

I think you meant to say they have to cut the roster down to 15 by tomorrow. I hope they cut dojo, he sucks!

[LoveMeOrHateMe]

Good luck guys on the season but I hope the lakers demolish you guys!

[Thumper 88]

Good luck on dwight howards back but i hope it breaks

[Thumper 88]

Not really but you get what I mean.

[asmarks18]

Lol

All I got to say is this... Stars = Locked out , Rangers = Huge Disappointment, Cowboys = Don't even get me started , Mavericks = Hope they can pick up the slack ray:!!!

We need to let go of DoJo and keep all these bigs on the team. We are gonna need them against the Lakers and all the other big teams in the NBA!! I'm slightly encouraged about Curry... He looks good to me!!! At least good enough. Do I even need to remind Mavs fans about Damp or Haywood!!! Curry is a lot cheaper, and also an upgrade... Just sayin'!

Dare I say the best starting and backup centers we have ever had on a Mavs team that I can remember. We lose some offense when Kamen comes off, but at least our D will stay strong with Curry on the floor!!! Our championship year we had Tyson and sparse minutes for backups... Tyson was BEAST that year and made all the difference! We were lucky to face a small Miami team in the 2011 finals.

WE WILL BE BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLE THINK!!!! People will come into games against us thinking "easy win," and we are going to shock 'em... at least I hope so!!!

Our depth at guard is quite impresive... if they can stay healthy.

LET'S GO MAVS!!!
