Way to play daily fantasy sports go to price.com lockdown NBA use the code locktown NBA for first deposit match up to $100 the Mavs get the win Luca donic goes off for 39 10 assists in this one 29 shots for Luca still made it look I guess pretty easy or at least was
Efficient enough made it happen in the clutch for sure but I want to start with this because the Mavs this is a great team win one of the goals for this season is for the Mavericks at least one that I’ve been harping on over and over and over again at this juncture I’ve
Been Derek harping on this over and over again the maps need to figure out what Luca and Kyrie are GNA be and Kyrie is on the verge of coming back he was doubtful coming into this game and not just straight up out so it looks like he
Could play in the Mavs next game I think Brad Townsen reported that he could come back uh for the Jazz game on Monday or if not then very likely the Trailblazers game at home on Wednesday and that starts a one two three four five six seven seven game home stand for the
Dallas Mavericks so that’s good so they’ll be starting back on figuring out that goal again hopefully soon the second goal I’ve had for the Mavericks is to figure out who’s going to be ready to go who’s going to be ready to go next season for a title run the Mavs have the
Opportunity to make a big move this summer I knew that they weren’t going to make a move like the Knicks just did for ogn and Obi during this season they just don’t have the stuff to do it right now despite what maybe you’ve seen on Twitter or other places I don’t think
The Mavericks have it have the stuff Emanuel quickley was much more valuable than I think any player besides maybe Derrick livley that the Mavericks have as a young player that they would be willing to part with maybe but the maps aren’t G to make that kind of a move yet
But what I think that they will do is try and make a little bit of a push this year make a small move around the edges I think that some kind of trade will happen this year but I think the Mavericks need to figure out who on this
Team is ready to go next season who can you look at and say well Tim Hardway Jr are you ready to go we talked about that yesterday you can check out the show if you’re interested more in that Dante exom are you ready to go I think we’ve
Pretty much answered that question in like a 10 game span Josh Green what about you would you be ready to contribute uh you know Derrik Lively are you ready to contribute there’s just so many guys down the list Derrick Jones Jr Jaden Hardy omx are you guys ready to
Make some kind of a run next year and contribute in some way shape or form so as much as this game against the Warriors was a good win LCA donic you know figuring it out in the clutch and and just making it happen and closing it out the Mavs got so many contributions
From a bunch of different players in this one you’ve got to love it Dante exam mentioned him 19 points five assists he was eight of 12 from the field hit three threes he’s just such a decisive and smart player the way that he can get the ball and doesn’t like
Hold it and look around and try and figure out what’s it feels like he’s always moving even his dribbling it feels like when he dribbles he kind of like does the the my player in in in like or like the choose your character thing on Mortal Kombat where you like
You pick your character and that player has that weird like just kind of they’re like kind of moving up and down just this little like feels like they’re pulsing like just up and down a little bit like swaying up and down feels like even when Dante XM is dribbling in place
He’s kind of just like moving up and down constantly moving always on the go always making a quick decision and he made some real quick decisions in this game and some drives that just really helped the Mavericks threes that really helped the Mavericks and he took them
Decisively Dante XM has not been a good three-point shooter in the NBA he has come and that’s why teams have left him alone he has come in and he helped his shot in Euro league he really worked on it he came back and he has not hesitated to take those threes
And I think that’s so big and so crucial for somebody like that to not have that kind of a skill come in the NBA and that be a skill that was sort of his swing skill if he’s going to be a really good impact player for the Mavericks he had
To hit some threes and he comes in and he’s like I’m just going to take him and a couple of them a couple threes that he took in this game what is he 305 at least two of them maybe three that I saw were clear I can take this three if
I want to it’s maybe not our best shot Dante xm’s thinking this in his head it’s maybe not our best shot but Derrick livley is right under the rim or Grant Williams is right under the rim Luca is right under the rim my teammates have a clear path to getting this rebound I’m
Just gonna Chuck it up anyway I love those kind of Threes because you see Dante xon make the decision he looks at Derrick Lively and then he looks at the rim and goes well I’m just gonna throw it up because if I miss this Derrick Lively you know likely is going to get
This rebound and I love those types of things you can just see the decision making in his head as it’s going in real time really great game from Dante xam and one turnover five assists one turnover he played 30 almost 34 minutes and I think he was a big Catalyst in the
Mavs non Luca minutes you had the second quarter the beginning of the second quarter run where the Mavs went an 110 run they ended up winning those minutes against the Warriors 15 to 12 to start the second quarter that’s huge the maps just need to win those minutes without
Luca they need at least to stay afloat in the fourth quarter they went seven and seven so they stayed afloat in those but that means that they won the non Luca minutes overall what did they win them uh what was it 22 to 19 they won those minutes it’s only by three points
But still to win those minutes without LCA donic on a team where in the past we look at teams that were around Luca and go they just have no shot they just got to stay like within five or 10 when L Luka gets off the floor so that he can
Come back and cook EX is been a has been a huge Catalyst for that for leading those minutes for being an extra ball handler he can be a secondary he can be a primary you can put him in a bunch of different he can be a spot up shooter he
Can be a bunch of different things and he brings it on the defensive end too he was chasing around guys he was chasing Curry around a lot of the time he was chasing Klay around Klay Thompson went one of 11 right yeah one of 11 one of
Six from three in this game and xim was on him you know from time to time to have that type of player it’s just a home run for Nico Harrison and this Mavs front office that they got somebody like this that they needed one of those the
Mavs needed one of these home run we got this guy for almost nothing and he’s contributing because they just haven’t have him the last couple of years the last couple of years they’ve had these players where you go man they kind of invested in this guy and he’s really not
Panning out that much you know like so to get somebody where you get somebody that’s found money right f exm is found money the other found money guy I think that contributed that’s probably not going to get talked about a lot today is Derrick Jones Jr only points five
Rebounds two steals he had a block shot didn’t make any of his threes and you go all right that’s not like his best game he didn’t score 20 points again we’ve seen him score 20 points a bunch this season but he was the one guarding Steph Curry Steph Curry finished the game nine
Of 25 that’s 36% he hit six of his 15 threes because he’s just insane but only 25 points for Steph holding him to that I thought Derrick Jones Jr did a great job of just chasing it around making his life hard for him that’s the only thing
You can do against Steph Curry is just chase him around be there like have the long arm in his face and just try to make his shot just a little bit more difficult in the higher degree of difficulty he was taking some tough shots in this game and Derrick Jones Jr
Also had that steal on Steph Curry that Luca saved that was the at two minutes and 15 seconds he he poked the ball away from Steph Curry Lucas saved the ball then Tim Hardway Jr hits a leaning jumper they go back up by nine with like
Less than two minutes to go that that to me was the one where it really pushed the game kind of Out Of Reach not fully Out Of Reach For The Warriors because when you have Steph Curry when you’re within nine you’re within three shots and Reggie Miller hit eight points in N9
Seconds so I I believe Curry can do that as well in a game if it called for it but Derrick Jones Jr another game where he just made an impact I thought even though he didn’t score as much even though he didn’t he doesn’t have like
The box score that really stands out I thought he made a big impact and then coming up let’s talk about Josh green because Josh Green welcome back great game for him in this one he had uh 18 points third leading score on the Mavericks how did he make an impact what
About Derrick Lively did he make a big impact in his role we’ll talk about that and more coming up today’s episode brought to you by prize picks prize pick is daily Fantasy Made Easy you can go to priz picks.com and all you have to do is pick more or

In the description all right Isaac let’s get into this game Josh Green huge impact 18 points in this one how many did he have at halftime he he had 10 points at in the first half he hit a couple of Threes he also had a couple of
Assists as well he was just aggressive he’s what Josh Green the Josh Green that we wanted to see is the Josh Green that takes the ball from like when he first checked into the game he gets the ball he drives he hits a a he hits a jumper
And then he runs out in transition and Luca finds him and then boom he hits another dunk and you’re just like yes this is the Josh Green we wanted to see decisive threes he’s learning from Dante XM I feel like he’s taking the Dante XM decisiveness and he’s like all right I
Gotta look at my fellow aie and take that into consideration and really just be aggressive and when he is on offense he’s helpful on defense he’s chasing around Curry he was chasing around clay he was chasing around uh Brandon paj jimsky that had a really good game in
This one great to see Josh Green get back and to have 18 points which I believe it’s definitely his his season High um for him and he did it in he did it really efficiently six of eight from the field three of four from three hit three free throws as well really great
Game for Josh Green love to see that hopefully this gets him back into a rhythm this is why I’ve never really given up on Josh Green yet he’s still super young he’s like 22 23 years old and still trying to figure out his way into this into this roster he’s like in
The Andre ugala mold where it’s going to take a little while for him to figure out how he exactly fits in this roster and that’s why we go back to my original point the Mavs need to figure out who’s ready what kind of role can Josh Green
Play on a playoff team if he’s hitting threes like this if he’s being decisive if he’s playing defense like this he can absolutely play a Roll Off the Bench if the Mavericks want him to be that and the Mavs now all of a sudden have a couple of These Wings here that are
Really showing out and that’s real positive for the Mavericks that they’ve got some of these options especially Derrick Jones Jr Josh Green exm that can all play on small guards because that’s not something the Mavericks have been really good at in the past um and so that’s something that I think has been
Great Josh Green great to see him come back awesome execution from him Derek Lively let’s talk about di live 12 points 14 rebounds no block shots but he definitely altered a bunch of shots at The Rim only two fouls in this game had one assist and he had the one turnover
We’ll talk about in a second but he outplayed Trace Jackson Davis for the many of you that have said can the Mavericks get cavon Looney can they trade for cavon Looney in the like they’re in the past cavon Looney has been benched he has fully been benched
For Trace Jackson Davis he has played that well Trace Jackson D Davis had 17 and six in this game I mean he just is making an impact for this Warriors team and drik Lively went up against him I think outplayed him definitely outrebounded him at times defended at
The rim and blocked some of his shots and that they he didn’t get credit for apparently and I just love to see Derrik Lively learn in some of these moments he’s had he had a couple learning moments in this game for all the good that he brought he had the moment in the
Second quarter I thought when he was out there against Dario sarich and sarch is not your back to the basket he’s not your pick and roll type of big he is your spread the floor face up drive at somebody kind of big and Derrik Lively hasn’t really defended of those guys a
Lot this season and so for him to be out there to try and like hedge and be in the pain and then all of a sudden have to run out and transition or run out to to close out I thought he had uh it was something to something for for him to
Learn and I thought kid left him out there a little bit longer just to see how he would because kid could could have put out Dwight pal out there and Dwight pal knows how to defend those situations Derrick Livy has not seen that look very often the five the five
Out offense where the the you know the the center can shoot the three I thought that was really interesting that’s definitely a learning moment he struggled against that although the Mavs did win those minutes so you’ll take that the other moment was in the fourth
Quarter when he’s he has the ball at the top of the key and he’s looking around 2 minutes and 44 seconds left Chris Paul steals the ball from him hits a three and it’s a five-point game which is what made this a clutch game I think at that
Point and that was a big learning moment too where all of a sudden you go oh man that’s a rookie mistake he just holds the ball he’s he’s holding the ball he’s like in the uh the triple threat move like with the ball in both hands but his
Elbows out and Chris Paul just you saw him on the if you saw the replay or you at least saw the highlight of it you saw the angle from the Warriors basket and you saw like right down the lane and you could see Chris Paul’s eyes just like
Get real big when when Derrik livley exposed that ball when he turned to the right and then all of a sudden he just poked it free grabbed the ball and then the Warriors came up with a Chris Paul three on the other end Chris Paul by the
Way has not been shooting the ball well at all went six uh yeah what did he finish with a six of nine nice from three in this game just just one of those games where you go hey man he’s going to make him eventually if you keep
Leaving him open he’s just going to hit him but some learning moments for Derrik Lively and he’s back to all right this is exactly what I said against the Cavs and against the Timberwolves Derrik Livy is goingon to look good against these teams like this where they don’t have a
Center that’s gonna that going to dominate that has been an All-Star in the past that is a really good defensive offensive Center either way he’s gonna look good against teams like this and raise the Mavericks floor he’s going to struggle against some of the the best
Centers in the NBA of course of course he is and so this is something to continue to watch watch but the Maverick floor is raised so he plays well against a team like this and you love to see it and you love to see that continue to be
True talked about Derek La we talked about Josh Green haven’t really talked too much about Luca because I thought this was more of like a team win but man 39 points 10 assists in this game um he hit six of seven of his free throws he missed one of them late that didn’t
Really matter because the Mavs already had this game but I just want to look at the last like three basically four minutes for the Mavericks the Mavs have that moment where the Warriors are starting to come back and the Mavs did a great job in this game of responding
Every single time the Warriors went on some kind of run whether they tried to cut it to you know F tried to cut it to five or six or tried to cut the lead down every time they got that the Mavs found a way to push the lead back out
One of those moments was in the fourth quarter about four minutes left Luca hits a one-on-one fadeaway jumper to uh stretch the lead back to 11 and then that Chris then a couple minutes later that Chris Paul he steals from Derrik Lively hits that three it’s a five-point
Game and then immediately after that you’re like all right it’s a five-point game the Mavs have to do something they have to get the ball in the basket you have to score your best Jason K said their best defense is their is a good offense and a solid offense that doesn’t
Turn the ball over doesn’t take bad shots doesn’t lead to Long rebounds it doesn’t lead to transition because the Mavericks I saw this stat today I think it was from NBA University 16th in halfcourt defense they have a pretty decent half court defense their transition defense is bad so you just
Told want to lead to that many transition opportunities and so Luca out of that out of that moment where you know the Warriors cut it to five with like two and a half minutes left he just runs in draws a foul he can just do it against anybody now you could tell you
Could say it’s foul baiting but if the refs are going to give it to him and Luca has throughout the game worked and kind of tried to figure out exactly in way way what kind of fouls and what kind of things the refs are calling he learns
It at 2:30 he draws the foul he hits both of his free throws clutch and he extends the lead back to was it seven at that point then you have the moment where Derrick Jones Jr pokes the ball away from Steph Curry Lucas saves the ball out of bounds a hustle play that
Leads to Tim Hardway Jr with the leading jumper lead goes back to nine and then right after that I think the Warriors took a timeout and kuminga fouls Luca on an inbound Mavs get into the bonus Luca hits his two free throws again and you’re like all right it’s just deja vu
Over and over again the Warriors try to try to come back and Luca finds a way to respond it felt like a very mature game from Luca to me uh he called his number a bunch he took 29 shots for sure in this game he got he was off the game
Before so he was able to to put in that much effort and energy he only played 37 minutes which is not as many as he’s had to play in some of these games in the past but again 10 assists only four turnovers 39 points for Luca an amazing
Game for him an amazing game for an NBA player but not necessarily an amazing game for him I just felt like it was a mature solid game where he just closed out this Warriors team youd love to see it the responses from this team were great just great Poise overall you saw
This team work together well uh Grant Williams I think has responded well being put on the bench he had 10 points hit two of his threes six rebounds he had a couple of like plays a couple of like heads up plays where you know sarch
Went up for a layup and Grant got hit in the face a little bit by his elbow when he sold the call and then the Warriors fans and all the bench was booing him but he’s still uh he still got the foul call just some just some headyy moves he
Only played 19 minutes in this game I felt like this Warriors team would have been a better matchup for him but the Mavs have had these guys that have just played better like these are the guys that played more minutes than Grant Williams uh Lively Luca obviously Derrick Lively obviously exom Tim
Hardaway Josh Green Derrick Jones Jr and then Jaden Hardy too I think we could talk about him but Grant Williams is is playing a fine role right now he just hasn’t really jumped into that next level that we thought he would uh and I think that’s fine I think that it’s fine
As long as the Mavericks get contributions from the guys that are ahead of him right that’s that’s going to be the question Jaden Hardy started in this game a lot of people thought that was interesting this is what kid wants to do kid does this all the time
He’ll take the guy that’s like third on the depth chart or whatever and LeapFrog him over Tim Hardway over you know Grant Williams or somebody else because he wants to keep the roles the guys have he wants to keep bringing Tim Hardway Jr Off the Bench he wants to keep bringing
Grant Williams Off the Bench so that when Kyrie comes back he just slides right into that spot that Jaden Hardy was playing and then boom you’re ready to go at that point and so I wasn’t I was not surprised by that at all uh he
Hit he hit one three it was that corner three that the Mavericks really needed in the fourth quarter in transition that was with about five minutes to go and I thought that was a good play for him after he had missed the other four threes that he had taken he hit a couple
Of other like little Drive shot he had a layup that he ran out and transition and got he had a couple other jumpers and he he didn’t have a huge game but he contributed here and there he only played 23 minutes so he was a good spot
Filler but exm and Josh green and Tim Hardway really filled that spot and that scoring that the Mavericks needed in this game we talked about Tim Hardway Jr yesterday I spent most of the show yesterday talking about do the Mavericks need to trade Tim Hardway down the road
Do they need to look at Tim Hardway and say all right you got to either give us something more or we’ve got to trade you for a different skill set that we’ll need down the road and one of the things that I did was I compared him to Jamal Crawford Lou
Williams Jordan P some of these guys that we’ve looked at in the past and said these are Super Subs the Sixth Man the scorers off the bench Can Tim Hardway be one of those guys and I mentioned all four all three of those guys averaged four assists a game like
Almost exactly and J Jason Terry averaged almost three and a half to four assists a game for their career and Tim Hardway averaged like 1.6 this season for the Mavericks and not many assists for his career Tim Hardway went out had 16 points and four and five assists it’s
Almost as if he listen to lock down Maps yesterday and said all right bet if you need me to playmake a little bit more and pass out of what I’ve got be a little bit more unselfish then I’ll go do that he had five assists in this game
And it was just a great response from him just to to make the right play and I think this season he has made the right play I’m not trying to say that he doesn’t make the right plays or the right basketball plays he does force
Some shots he calls his own number but I thought in this game he didn’t as much only 12 shots which is low for him same amount as as exm had and then the five assists great playmaking finding guys the Mavs were really unselfish with the ball tonight it’s like they almost
Looked at what the Warriors did and said all right we’re going to try to do a little bit more of that they had 25 assists as a team in this one so Tim Mar Jr great I thought a pretty good A pretty solid game the Mavs definitely
Needed his scoring Off the Bench needed that playmaking a little bit he had six rebounds too which I thought every time Tim gets a rebound it feels like a big rebound maybe it’s just because he grabs it and he just thrusts it back and forth to make sure that everyone know everyone
Knows that he got the that he got it um I’ll spend the last couple minutes talking about the talking about the um the the trade for ogn and Obi so the Nick get ogj and and Obi they trade away Emanuel quickley RJ Barrett only a second round pick doesn’t seem like a
Lot for OG and and Obi when we’ve been told oh it’s gonna take multiple picks three picks three first round picks to get OG and and Obi I was worried that the Knicks were gonna for on the Knicks side I was worried that they were going to send like two firsts with Emanual
Quickly and I was like I was going to be like oh my gosh to me it seems like a marginal up upgrade for the Knicks if it is an upgrade because you’re upgrading obviously from RJ Barrett to OJ Obi that’s an upgrade you’ll take that the defense is definitely better probably
Leaps and Bounds better the offense is better when it comes to spot up shooting but I don’t know that it’s that much of an upgrade when it comes to Creation on offense and then you lose Emanuel quickley where he’s been really really good for them this season the the
Lineups with Brunson and Emanuel quickley have been very good Emanuel quickley is’s one of the best on off players this season and the Knicks one of their strengths has been their bench units with Emanuel quickley and Josh Hart and Dante Dante Divan chenzo and Isaiah hartenstein like they have been a
Very good bench and they’ve outplayed guys and outscored teams and now you take away completely that strength of yours you strengthen the front the the starting lineup a little bit and you lose that they also lost Mitchell Robinson for the season so Isaiah hardenstein comes from Off the Bench to
As to a starter TSH Gibson now becomes your backup center and I’m looking at this team going man I just feel like they lost one of their superpowers and I thought that about the the Grizzlies this summer when when I when Stephen Adams went down and you know Brandon
Clark’s gonna be out you’re like man they just feel like they lost their rebounding superpower and I feel like the Knicks it’s kind of the same thing here that bench was one of their powers where they just knew that they could come in and trust that bench to not lose
Leads but even like build on leads at times so I’m worried about that I’m curious what what they think about that I love this for the Raptors because the Raptors I thought were going to lose oh noi anyway he’s going to be a free agent this summer I thought that the Mavericks
Could maybe get in on an ogj and noi trade if they were going to do a sign in trade of some kind they could have done that but instead they get him manual quickly I think he’s GNA be great for them he’s goingon to take that step up
And honestly I think they have a Jaylen Brunson situation on their hands because I think he’s gonna take a step up into his role he’s gonna start scoring a lot more playing a lot more looking like more of that leader that they need and nicks are going to look at it and be
Like did we just do the same thing that the Mavericks did with Brunson now the difference between those situations is the Knicks actually got a player for him the Mavericks didn’t get any players for Jaylen Brunson this OG and and Obi trade is actually a trade that the Mavericks
Wanted to do when they had Jaylen Brunson and wanted to trade him but they just couldn’t really get anything done they couldn’t figure anything out uh did I don’t think they had an RJ Barrett type that they could add in a trade and there wasn’t there just wasn’t an
Opportunity for the Mavs to make that type of trade and also I think Jay Le brunon showed less when he was with the Mavericks and the Mavs wanted to trade him than Emanuel quickley has shown so far in his NBA career so if you want to
Go revision his history on it oh why didn’t the Mavericks do this ogj and anobi trade back when they had Brunson like I don’t think Brunson was as valuable as Emanuel quickley is right now because I don’t think he was as good or showed as much so that’s my thoughts
On that the Mavs it it takes it takes a player off the board as far as trades and so the Knicks still can make another move they’ve got more picks they’ve got Julius randle’s contract you know they’ve got a bunch of stuff they can still do so I think there’s still a
Trade they’s still a player in trades for sure but it takes a player off the the board that the Mavericks may have been know may have been interested in and we’ll see what happens but yeah there you go that’s what I think about OG and Obi that’s what I think about
Mavs versus Warriors let me know in the comments section what’s one reason why the Mavs won this game I’m excited about it one more game this weekend uh against the who who are they playing next they’re they’re playing the jazz on Monday there will be no uh Sunday night
Show going into Monday but there will be a post game after the Jazz game so guys thanks much for listening to lockdown Ms peace out boom

What's 1 reason the Mavs beat the Warriors?
NICK, can you please see if you can find out what Luka and Chris Paul were talking about? I'm not sure the conversation, but I seen CP3 say "yes you are". Happened at the end of game when mavs were shooting free throws.
Bro the point is, any team, who has size and decent 3 point shooting team will always be an issue for us. This match was expected to win
Would the Mavs take Julius Randle in a trade?
Can you dig a little deeper into the Mavs defensive ranking?
I am watching this bellowed TImmy against WARRIORS. aAND NO ,ATher if i am the biggest hater of timmy of them all, this is just amazing.. How is this even possible. He is taking shots that are not even basketball legal. Like he should go to jail for it. I really do not get it. This would not go thru in second slovenian leaguge.
The ball "hopped" the way you've seen past Warriors teams play offense Mercurially! Green is BACK! I asked this Q. to Kirk Henderson after this ultra depressing losses regarding Green. 4-6 in last TEN! Injury bug and smaller team still has me concerned, but at least Hardy looks maturing, and so grateful for break emergency glass Powell. Longest tenured Mav has staying power. GO MAVS! But beat a GOOD team soon please!
Mavs get Johnathan ISACC been saying this for two years
Let it ride š
Exum is da man. Also a trade for lauri Markennan would fix points and rebounding. Only 16 mil a year
Never 1 reason for W or L. If you force list, Luka, Liv double double, Exum, Green, Williams, Jones solid D. Top 6. But overall great team win. One of the best overall play by all.
Is it just me or Mavs game is getting faster. As you said Nick many of the players take the quick desission and action. Luka is now great on both sides of the floor as well. Players learn from each other and try to do good game in every game.
In last game where they lost without Luka they were playing decent. They have only push themselves and have the win mantality, with or without Luka. He is cherry on the top.
How is someone with 34 PPG not gone win the scoring title… the nba these days is crazy
i think the mavs will good if he have more of athletic players, probably adding PJ Washington and John Collins would be a nice fit next to Luka.
Grant and Curry for PJ Washington
Holmes and Kleber for Collins
Luka is the sole brain that can utilize the talents of this team at its optimum level. Without him, there're just g.league guys.
Congratulations J. Kidd for a job excellently done!
Exem is Incredible as a side kick with Luka Better than Kyrie…. But with Luka on the bench, Kyrie needs to always be out there Kyrie should come off the bench to replace Luka, Then in the 4th, both Luka and Kyrie on the floor…. so the floor has either Luka + Exem or Luka + Kyrie or Kyrie + Exem
What a great win.
J Green stepped up. At last.
Where's slightly biased?
Josh
Lukaaa
Also, Josh getting run down during his injury has been kind of whack
Its so cute he still says "alright issac" at the start of the 2nd segment.
alright Isaac š
Best thing about this mavs team is that luka is not the top rebounder night in night out
Come playoff time and we will see what Mavs are made off. Call me a wack fan but I don't believe in Kidd as a head coach. Offensively this team is good which is a no brainer when you have a player like Luka. But Defensively – nah, not enough for a long playoff push.
3point shots
If you need 39 Points from Luka and a great team effort to beat a (tonight) underperforming steph curry warriors team by 10 I don't want to have this matchup in the playoffs/playins anytime soon.
I don't know how long Kerr will hold on to Klay in the starting lineup but if Podziemski plays like this consistently he will replace him soon.
This season the Mavs have to reach the playoffs to keep Luka happy and after conveying their pick to the Knicks finally make a bigger trade for a 6ft 8-10 wing which can defend and shoot 3s.
BTW: Haliburton with 22 pts and 23 assists and nobody talks about it because the Pistons snapped their losing streak.
Role players now playing well , bcoz they know , they will get traded! Still trade Powell, THJ and hardy !
