Sorry for being negative, but…

Am I the only one who thought it was disappointing to see Amen Thompson being guarded by a center to start the NBA season?

That also means Dallas didn’t respect Şengün enough. They felt comfortable guarding him with PJ Washington… 

And they were right for a while, as Alpi was couldn’t overpower the smaller guy initially. The Mavericks didn’t even send help, that was their preferred matchup. 

Obviously Houston got the win over a bad Dallas team, while Şengün and Thompson both ended up playing well. But those are still concerning signs from the futures of your franchise.
