But you have more than one option available if you still want to follow the league.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">First, you can bet games and player props and <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/navigation\/nba\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">we recommend you do so at FanDual<\/a>. Second, you can go find a playoff team to latch on to. I get it, it\u2019s not cheating. Third, and this is what I\u2019m doing, is you can watch other tanking teams and freak out about wins and losses. You can ALSO watch the Mavericks and that was my first poll question this week\u2026 how many games do you plan to watch the rest of the season?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Shout out to the majority of you who said you\u2019d watch games. Though I do understand bailing on Dallas too. It\u2019s not been fun, particularly when Cooper Flagg doesn\u2019t play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Our second question asked a tough one about two of the veterans on the roster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I think this is the right answer. But I really like both Klay Thompson and Khris Middleton.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The next question came from the national poll, asking which NCAA guy is going to be the most exciting at the next level.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This feels mostly right. I think Dybantsa has quite the ceiling. I don\u2019t think Cam Boozer is going to be very exciting but he is going to be good. And if Peterson pans out, y\u2019all better be ready for the people who will say \u201cI told you so\u201d. He is electric when he\u2019s on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This poll question is interesting. It\u2019s basically saying that most fans want a good team to select a low ceiling player who there\u2019s an actual track record for. I get it. That\u2019s what I want for Dallas with the pick they are taking from OKC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NBA season is still trudging on and for those of us who are fans of teams that&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":124435,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103,9488],"class_list":{"0":"post-194838","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-dallas","9":"tag-dallas-headlines","10":"tag-dallas-news","11":"tag-general"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194838"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194838\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
