Dusty May: P.J. Washington ‘Certainly in the Mix’ as Starters Stay Fluid

-


Mavs Nation — still no starting-five graphic, but we finally got a name in the mix.


Coach Dusty May told camp media that Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg are locks up top, then floated P.J. Washington as “certainly in the mix” for a starting spot — mostly because he can play multiple positions. May is still studying one-, two-, three-, and five-man combinations and says he can’t see Dallas settling on a starting five anytime soon with back-to-backs and injuries coming.


Washington has started 137 of 142 career games as a Maverick and isn’t sweating the label — he’d rather play five more minutes or finish games than hear his name in the intros. Camp context still includes limited bigs managing workloads while the staff pencils multiple rotations.


For the Dallas Mavericks (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Dallas%20Mavericks), China Games travel still points to Oct. 9 in Macao versus Houston. Radio question — is P.J. the third wheel next to Kyrie and Flagg, or does May’s fluid five stay a season-long feature?

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.
