Anthony Davis’ roller coaster debut | Jimmy Butler cooks with Curry

Yeah, I think ESPN reported that Nico Harrison received death threats over the Luka Doncic trade. I was out there outside the Dirk statue watching the protest. I did not come away with that thinking it was scary. I mean, it was 100 Mavericks fans. They weren't happy. Obviously, their chin. Sell the team. Fire Nico. We love Luka. Things like that.

But I did not look at that and was like, this was scary. I was never for a moment yesterday like, oh my gosh, I'm worried for my own safety or there's something that might happen. I mean, there was a police presence out there. They had like a, you know, a canine dog which can sniff for drugs or bombs or whatever. And the mood inside the building was not really that negative at all.

I mean, the fans cheered Anthony Davis loudly. The Mavericks got off to a good start, which I think I mean, my general take on it is that I think the fans are going to be OK if they win a lot. And if they don't, I don't think they are. Like, I think if yesterday had gone differently and they've lost by 15 points, it could have gotten ugly in there.

So I think a lot of this is going to be dictated by by what happens on the court. And I will say this, too. I think they took kind of subtle measures to. to help nudge like fan sentiment towards positivity yesterday. Like they weren't paying to the crowd at any point in the game because they didn't want people to get riled up, I guess. So there was subtle things they did.

Yeah, Anthony Davis was fantastic when he was actually on the court. I mean, I think the most revealing statistic number from that game was 18 blocks. That was a franchise record for blocks. Literally game one of Anthony Davis at power forward and Daniel Gafford at center. I mean, they made this move because they wanted to be an elite defensive team.

I think you have to view this through the context of the 2019-20 Lakers. Anthony Davis played a lot of power forward that season. Jason Kidd was an assistant coach on that team. That team was more defensive-oriented than offensive-oriented, and that was why they were able to win the title that season. AD was incredible on both ends of the floor. You totally saw the vision defensively.
