  • A host wrote down a five-man group Dallas used in the first quarter: de Larrea, Sasser, Moussa Cisse, Walter Clayton Jr., and Zaccharie Risacher. at 5:21
  • Turnovers are a concern for de Larrea. They showed up in preseason and, a host thinks, in EuroLeague, and he is small with a loose handle at times. A host suggested pairing him with Sasser or another ball-handler. at 10:35
  • Three games into the season, a host ranks Sasser and de Larrea above Max Christie as development bets. at 10:12
  • Marcus Sasser scored in double digits again, with 5 assists and a couple of threes, including transition threes. A host said he is always leaking out and fits Dallas's push for pace. at 25:36
  • A host said Sasser's pull-up three is rare on this roster, and that last year's team had few if any such threats. at 26:12
  • The hosts endorse a Sasser-de Larrea bench backcourt once the stars return. One host said Dallas will have a bench but still has to work out the rest of the rotation. at 27:20
  • A host credited Dusty May with having the team play hard and listed several high-effort players. This is the host's view, not a statement from May. at 31:03

  • 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
