Mike Curtis: Klay Thompson on if he was surprised he had jitters: “Not really. It’s human nature when you’ve been somewhere for so long. You’re so familiar with that environment after a decade-plus of being there & now being here. It literally felt like my rookie season all over again.”

Mavericks fall to 0-2 in the preseason with 107-102 loss to Utah, which is 3-0 in the exhibition season. But this was a success for the Mavericks for no other reason than Klay Thompson and Kyrie Irving were on the court together. Details to come. – 10:24 PM

Jason Kidd said pregame that Klay and Kyrie would only play the first half. Pretty good half for both, too. Kyrie with 12 points, four reboudns, Thompson with 10 points, three assists. Mavs down 60-47. – 9:16 PM

Klay Thompson missed his first three shots in his first preseason appearance, but only one was from long range, a corner three that was contested. Kyrie Irving has six points and the Mavs and Jazz are tied at 17. – 8:28 PM

Klay Thompson is the first player to wear No. 31 for the Mavericks since 2011 champion Jason Terry.

Steve Kerr laid out the public directive during the Golden State Warriors’ first week in Hawaii: He wants to be a high-volume 3-point-shooting team, upping the output despite the loss of one of the most prolific shooters (Klay Thompson) in NBA history. Last season, the Warriors averaged 38.9 3s per game as a team, ranking fourth behind the Celtics (42.5), Mavericks (39.5) and Kings (39.3). Those first two teams have something in common. “Being a Finals (media) correspondent, I learned that Dallas and Boston were both top three in the league in 3s,” Brandin Podziemski said. “So I definitely think it plays a part (in winning). Based on our personnel, I do think it’s possible that we for sure can be top five (in attempted 3s), but leading the league is a possibility.” -via New York Times / October 10, 2024
