Name 1 thing the Mavs HAVE to improve on to start the season.
Rebounds
Making shots
They need to improve their defense alot
Rebounding please
Rebound
Luka needs to stay in shape and watch his dietary plan. The team needs to watch the 2011 championship run to emphasize the importance of fighting for each other. Teams win, not stars.
Defensive rebounds
Lukas biggest need = humility.
Lets go!! I wonder if couch Nick will give SlightlyBiased more minutes this season. We could use a guy like him after the departure of the great Isaac Harris.
Is Taze moore gone
Well you have a rookie raw center starting. you probably gonna struggle early on.
Regardless of the long term future I support recurring appearances from Slightly.
Slightly is interesting to listen too. But a bit Gonzo at times.
Theo is a Texas Legend.
Sb would be wonderful as a new co host however he might lose some of his touch if he has to be pg13
I just wanna know what’s the play call is going to be this yr when they’re down by one w 6 seconds left ? Pin down? Free Luka up for a fade away three ?
Efforts, sharing the ball, and finally make the shots
Mavs definitely need more Slightly on number 1 Mavs pod
The Mavs are missing a 3rd scorer. When we made the Western finals run Spencer dinwiddie was clutch. We need another scorer in the starting lineup.
Nick, I want to be your cohost! Hit me up!
Nick, why haven't they extended Green yet? Thoughts?
Nick please consider Slightly Biased to replace Isaac (not that he’s replaceable). You’d make an amazing team, he’s so dedicated, so fun to listen to. I just know you would both kill it 🙂 I can only dream.
I feel like this will be a great season..my 2 fav channels in one show!!!❤
Surprising, you guys already have a good chemistry.
The mavs need to improve on defensive connectivity. Where each player knows what to do and which rotation is theirs. consistent communication and always fighting on defense, then finishing with a board
🦝🦝
Happy to see Slightly on the show, think he’s a good fit.
i love slightly and nick…great combo
Finally someone talking about the minutes structure for Luca. It doesn't make sense. When you keep a player on the court too long he goes into a higher level of fatigue. That means the same player needs longer to recover. Luka's shouldn't play more than 10 minutes a quarter.
Luka needs a code word to know when to dial things back. Like the Winter Soldier. Longing, rusted, furnace, daybreak, seventeen, benign, nine, homecoming, one, freight car. Or maybe something a bit shorter.
