Dallas Mavericks PreviewOverview: Simon (aka Sal) has been apart of this community for several months, despite his limited amount of games coached. In his time here he’s been famous for two things: Lovely GIFs and not missing shots with Dirk Nowitzki. Simon is back in Dallas for another go around with the Mavs for season 1 and is poised to be a dark horse title contender
Thoughts on Season 1: The Mavs have a very deep team and 1 super star in Dirk to take over in the clutch. The addition of Tyson Chandler was an underrated move this summer and will be a definite upgrade over Dampier. I’m sure Haywood will be rated better but it’s a nice one, two punch. Caron Butler is a solid #2 scoring option and Jason Kidd is always overrated by 2k so Simon has a solid backcourt at his disposal. I didn’t even mention Roddy Beaubois, who is instant offense.
Prediction for Season 1: Like I said in the opening, the Mavs are a contender. Simon is a solid coach. I don’t have specific numbers to reflect on but I’d be willing to bet Simon has won 60 percent of more of his games in this league all time. Combine that with a very solid roster and you have a tough opponent. Look for great things out of the Mavs for season 1.
