THE STORY: Hi friends! I was on a long overdue vacation this past week but I’m back and ready for some juicy preseason action! Oh...wait...are you telling me there’s ALREADY a Brunson vs. Barea thing happening? (That was utterly predictable.) We’re already worried about “what the hell will we do if Luka or KP aren’t playing to their potential? OK, sure, but we knew everything would have to go 120 percent right for the Mavs to make the playoffs.

Is Broekhoff awesome yet? I’m really just here for Ryan Broekhoff tbh.

It’s still preseason, and so I’m not actually worried about any of these things. As always in preseason, my only rooting interest is for no injuries. (Wait...no one told me about Powell...sighhhh.)
