Terry: Don't Sleep On The Mavericks

Dallas guard Jason Terry is warning people not to sleep on the team this season.

"I can see that they’re doubting us, and it’s been a long time since we’ve had that doubt about this team and this organization," said Terry.

"So I think guys are going to be ready, and teams are going to come in kind of like, 'Oh yeah, we ran through the Mavericks last year, they’re the same old team,' but it’s going to be a big shock to them."

An announcement is expected to come on Thursday when the Mavericks open their season.
