  • Projected rotation from the dress rehearsal: Flagg, Irving, P.J. Washington, Gafford and Risacher, then Christie (rested), Naji Marshall, Morez Johnson Jr., de Larrea, and probably Sasser. at 14:30
  • In the starting group, Washington, Flagg and Risacher are okay-to-good defenders, but Gafford and Irving don't make things easier, and Irving shouldn't take hard assignments. No starter elevates the defense around him. at 16:02
  • P.J. Washington, Max Christie, Daniel Gafford (media day) (quoted): At media day, P.J. Washington admitted defense was hard last season and that he didn't play his best. The hosts say Washington, Christie and Gafford all described last season draining their defensive effort. at 17:08
  • The hosts argue Irving will need to look for his own shot earlier instead of making extra passes to Risacher or Washington. Their view is that the run-heavy team with a weak defense will struggle in the half court. at 3:35
  • The starting lineup was Irving, Gafford, Washington, Flagg and Risacher. 'Richie' has started every preseason game. The hosts say none of the starters makes defense easier for the others. at 18:33
  • A host wants Irving to shoot more early instead of making extra passes to Risacher or for open Washington threes. The other host thinks the Mavs want Flagg to set the tone, with Irving deferring until he closes in the fourth quarter. at 3:45
