RF Sports Radio branded title card: Dallas Mavericks Ujiri bring joy back camp toward Macao

avs Nation, the reboot has a slogan now — and Masai Ujiri isn’t whispering it.

Speaking as Dusty May’s first camp rolls, the president of basketball operations told reporters the organization feels “a new energy” and is “trying to bring joy back to basketball in this city with this team,” per SI’s Dustin Lewis citing the Dallas Morning News. After the Luka exit, the Anthony Davis flip, and two straight playoff misses, that’s the radio line Dallas has been waiting to hear from the new front office.

The on-court piece is still Flagg-and-friends under May, with Kyrie Irving back in the mix after the ACL layoff. But today’s beat isn’t another availability note — it’s the franchise messaging a mood change while the work happens behind closed doors.

The Dallas Mavericks (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Dallas%20Mavericks) open the preseason against the Houston Rockets on Friday, Oct. 9 at 7:00 a.m. CT at the Venetian Arena in Macao. China Games travel waits for no one. Radio question — can vibes turn into wins before the city tunes out again?

I think they bring out buried feelings of joy and happiness in people that don’t often get to see the light of day anymore. Folks are happier, kids are giddier, and teens are pressing their folks for gifts, even on Mother’s and Father’s Day. But my favorite holiday of them all is Halloween. And it has absolutely nothing to do with costumes and or candy but rather the date on the calendar it represents. October 31st signifies the start of the basketball regular season! Either your team has one game under it's belt, or is preparing for game one or is glorifying a local television broadcast with fun Halloween graphics heading into and out of commercials. The 2013-2014 NBA season kicks off two days in advance of trick-or-treating with national broadcasts coming on October 29th put October in the rearview and gear up for the season ahead.

Lamar Odom: Flesh and Blood

by Matt Silverston Say what you want about Lamar Odom, and go ahead and criticize his lifestyle and the choices he's made, but I will never hesitate to stand up for those human beings who suffer from addiction and mental illness. Given that Odom's story as well as his whereabouts are uncertain and up-in-the-air at this time, the biggest issue at stake here is so much more than money, a reality TV drama, or a basketball hoop. His future livelihood as a healthy, spirited human being is under attack and in immediate jeopardy.
