Linkin’ Park: NBA Edition

Posted on October 26th, 2009 12:42pm by Ryan Jones

On the eve of the 2009-10 season, the NBA finally has its referees back — just in time, too, after Drew Gooden was ejected and promptly un-ejected during Friday’s preseason finale by a replacement crew — and the Mavericks finally look to be healthy. Dallas’ season gets underway tomorrow night with a game against Washington at the AAC, and the club isn’t as spry as it was a few years ago. How Jason Kidd’s mind and Dirk Nowitzki’s body hold up are going to be key in determining the Mavs’ success, and there are those that feel the prognosis isn’t much better than last year.

Shawn Marion, Drew Gooden, Tim Thomas, and Quinton Ross headlined the crop of newcomers in the summer, but question marks remain on whether Kris Humprhies and high-upside rookie Rodrique Beaubois can build on promising preseasons to become regular contributors in Rick Carlisle’s rotation this year. It’s hard to say considering we don’t really know Carlisle that well, either.

But if your eyes are too tired to do all that reading on a Monday, you could just listen Doug Collins talk about the Mavs for a minute and a half, and then watch clips of the Mavs hanging out on media day. Your call.
