This week\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019re a true sicko like me and you\u2019re watching all this Summer League mess, there are things you can bet on with our partner at FanDuel<\/a>.<\/p>\n The national poll also had some fun questions and responses.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n The next question was about the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n The last two questions were LeBron James centric.<\/p>\n I wonder how people would define an \u201cearly playoff exit\u201d? I suppose it depends which team he\u2019s on.<\/p>\n Folks are over the LeBron James experience. It\u2019s been going on for a very, very long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This week\u2019s Mavericks-centric poll was about the NBA Summer League, which kicked off last night with a Dallas…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":124435,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103,4944],"class_list":["post-368293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-mavericks-roster"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368293","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=368293"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368293\/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=368293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=368293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=368293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
