Protesters be damned. <\/p>\n
Anthony Davis was ready to go \u2014 and then some \u2014 during his Mavericks debut. <\/p>\n
Just two quarters into his first game with Dallas after a blockbuster trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers, Davis had 24 points, 13 rebounds, five assists, three blocks against the in-state rival Rockets.<\/p>\n
The highlight of the opening half came with a little over 7:35 left in the first quarter, when Davis drove toward the hoop and collected his own miss before stuffing down a put-back jam.<\/p>\n

Davis was hyped up after the bucket and celebrated with his teammates. <\/p>\n
Then he started to do some crowd work at American Airlines Center, yelling exultantly with what lip-reading internet sleuths determined to be \u201cI\u2019m here! I\u2019m here!\u201d <\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a whirlwind week for the Mavericks, their fans and Davis. <\/p>\n
Before the game, the first one in Dallas since the Sunday morning trade that sent away the franchise\u2019s cornerstone, fans protested, largely centering their anger toward general manager Nico Harrison. <\/p>\n
One truck carrying signage outside the arena even had a message that said \u201cFire Nico.\u201d <\/p>\n
Davis told reporters on Friday that he understood why fans were angry with the team\u2019s transition. <\/p>\n
\u201cI get who Luka was to this franchise, to this city,\u201d Davis said. \u201cI\u2019m never going to downplay that. Just how I know what I meant to the city of LA. So I\u2019m not surprised by the fans\u2019 reaction and the city\u2019s reaction. It\u2019s my job to come in and play basketball and do what I\u2019m supposed to do and give the fans hope and reassurance on why Nico brought me here.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know how [Saturday\u2019s] going to be as far as the reaction,\u201d Davis said. \u201cI can\u2019t control that. Obviously it was a tough transition. It was a shock to all. My job is to come in and win basketball games.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
