This week’s Mavericks-centric poll was about the NBA Summer League, which kicked off last night with a Dallas loss to the Golden State Warriors. We asked what player Dallas fans would be following the most closely.
Nearly six in ten fans will be keeping the closest eye on point guard Sergio De Larrea. This surprised me a little but given how Dallas needs guards who can actualy play at an NBA level. If you read my review, you see he played okay at best, but I feel confident in his game. If you’re a true
sicko like me and you’re watching all this Summer League mess, there are things you can bet on with our partner at FanDuel.
The national poll also had some fun questions and responses.
Jaylen Brown is an obvious answer since the Sixers, at least on paper, look really interesting. Giannis being second makes sense but I think the Miami Heat are going to be bleak.
The next question was about the NBA Finals.
The top two teams being the Western Conference Finals teams makes some sense, but I think the Spurs are not the gamble to repeat the path that this poll would suggest. Injury luck plays a big part in all this and they had it good this last time around.
The last two questions were LeBron James centric.
I wonder how people would define an “early playoff exit”? I suppose it depends which team he’s on.
Folks are over the LeBron James experience. It’s been going on for a very, very long time.
