The Dallas Mavericks Keep On Winning



The Dallas Mavericks Keep On Winning

Yep get in there buddy if you can’t do the time don’t do the crime this is [ __ ] hey what are you in here for had five points on two of nine shooting damn yeah that’ll get you yeah what about you four points on nine shots with three

Turnovers Jesus Christ yep I used to be a star in this league and now here I am and I’m never getting out life comes at you fast man isolating PJ Washington not even once this message was brought to you by the Mothers Against isolating PJ Washington on defense

Foundation the Dallas Mavericks get a huge win their first game back from the All-Star break seven straight wins they beat the Phoenix Suns 123 to 113 I don’t have the time to do a traditional video so we’re doing it like this a little low effort Hey low effort never hurt anybody

Don’t tell the 2023 Mavericks that huge performances from both Luca donic and Kyrie Irving 41 points 11 assists nine rebounds for Luc on 14 of 27 from the field six of 11 from Deep don’t forget the three steals he’s making that all defense push and Kyrie Irving with 29

Points he was incredible in this game as well scoring in bunches when the Mavericks desperately needed it we’ll get to it here in a bit the Mavericks has a team 43% from deep but really one of the major stories of this game was Mr PJ Washington and the defense that he

Played on Kevin Durant in the second half plus 11 after a strong first half from Kevin Durant he was held to 11 points on four of 11 shooting with two turnovers and a minus 19 in the second half of this game and again we’ll get to

Why here in a bit here’s a here’s a hint his name rindes with TK posht as IST talk points out here when the superstars come at you they come at you in waves one of the benefits of having lukai they combined for 70 points on 25 of 45 shooting and again

When the m needed points in the first and second quarter Kyrie was there when the Mavericks needed a barrage of points to start the third quarter Luca was there they come at you in waves folks and while we’re on Twitter talking about Luka donic Luka please unblock me please

I don’t deserve this and with now over a 100 minutes played as a member of the Dallas Mavericks let’s check out PJ Washington’s impact on the team oh how does a 25 net rating sound with a 96 defensive rating is that good only four games played but two of those against

Some of the greatest offenses in the league the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Phoenix Suns I think we can work with that Mavericks love running this right here empty out one side of the floor for Luca let him post up Kyrie one pass away the defender on Kyrie is going to have

To shade over just a little bit that being Devon Booker and that allows Kyrie Irving to just shoot wide open top of the key threes I mean what an unbelievable luxury still waiting for PJ Washington to find his footing offensively we’ll get to some of the great defensive stuff later but still

The ability to do this right rip and go catch go put the ball in the deck attack the paint attack the rim it’s it’s nice to have because you know the guys here before didn’t really have that ability these two teams man they’re they’re great to watch like it’s it’s a really

Fun match up we know the Rivalry and all of that even though I think the Rivalry is kind of dead a little bit here but just the shot making you have four of the best shot makers in the league in this game Kevin Durant Devin Booker Kyrie Irving Luka donic obviously and

Booker had 35 points this game where he talked about Kyrie and Lucas statline this is just fun basketball to watch and a series between these two of course you let Luca get to his spot on the left wing it’s game over how about this this action for the

Mavericks this feels like a first Spain pick and roll PJ Washington and Kyrie Irving with Lively in the corner and Lively just catches and attacks the rim dunked when have we seen that not very good defense there by the by the Suns but hey that’s interesting having Kyrie Irving on your basketball

Team man it’s just a joy to watch he’s just a joy to watch in general but look at the bench this is what I’ve been saying like it’s hilarious when Kyrie does anything because the bench just goes crazy I’ve never seen it you know obviously the bench goes crazy crazy

When Luka does crazy stuff or anyone else does crazy things but when Kyrie it’s like all the players are like what the [ __ ] I I’ve played basketball my whole life at the highest level I have never seen anything like that I mean just look at this finish man what

Switching hands midair and that English on it what if you gave me if you gave me a million I was going to say a 100 no if you gave me a million tries there’s no way I would ever even come close to accomplishing that it’s a beautiful game

Right here a little pick and roll good blocket pass and just let Lively go to work misses gets it back and finishes just such a luxury to have you got nurkic guarding the screen and it leaves Lively just by himself against Booker misses the first but he’s got that size

Advantage go up and get it Rook again just a crazy shot making both of these teams have KD over Maxi I mean that’s a good contest there’s there’s genuinely nothing you can do about that like your only prayer right there is just prevent KD from getting the ball at all again

You let luuka get to his spot on this left wing it’s go time it’s go time shaking his head yeah don’t you know don’t let me get to that spot oh wait I need to unblock slightly biased on Twitter okay I’ll do that great back and forth between these two

Teams Booker isolated against Daniel Gafford I’ll just shoot over him knock it down it was a fun game to watch man a seven game series between these two would would feed feed Generations Luca and one right here we don’t really know what happened cuz TNT was in the middle

Of a replay in the middle of the play guys please just fix this just wait until a [ __ ] commercial break to show replays all right looking good my man Kyrie Irving had a burst of eight points and I’m not kidding like 30 seconds of game time to close out the first quarter

First quarter with the Mavericks were trailing by 12 at one point it kind of looked like the game might slip away nope Kyrie Irving showed up and somebody made a great point on Twitter I really appreciate this person’s point I forgot who tweeted it otherwise I would say it

That Luca is not or Kyrie’s not Robin to Luca’s Batman Kyrie’s Batman and Luca’s Superman H DC heroes yeah look at Luca again there’s not much you can do against this and PJ Washington did a hell of a job in the third PJ Washington and Maxi kba in the third and fourth

Quarter defending Kevin Durant but when he’s hitting shots like this what the [ __ ] it’s a seven-footer man and then you got this guy on the other end it’s crazy those two are teammates at one point absorbing contact in the air are we ever going to get a whistle I mean

Kyrie’s whistles insane it’s non-existent an absolute non-existent whistle you know Luc is going to stand up for you Lucas damn near running onto the court to Assault The Ref been waiting to see if PJ Washington’s three ball will start to drop but I like this right here just pulling up off the

Dribble it’s a good sign hopefully this means that uh the shots starting to round into form here for Mr PJ Washington after a tough shooting start in his first few games as a Maverick this is an unguardable shot right here the whistle was a little bit annoying in

The first half if if you’re a Mavericks fan I thought there was a lot of ghost whistles KD got this whistle because he was crying to the refs The Possession before this but I mean again how are you I that’s not a foul but how are you

Supposed to defend that shot at all I really like this defense from Derrick Lively getting out good under control closeout that allows him to recover and defend this nerkish shot nurk kind of blew that but that’s a good job by the rookie Gafford had some nice defensive

Moments in this game as well did a really good job here on the perimeter against KD contesting that shot the best way possible it ends up in an offensive rebound nurkic missed but that’s a great job by Gafford swe on to Kevin Durant just using his size and his length to

Contest the shot as much as you can this is why a lot of Luca shots just look insanely easy because he’s just a maestro knows KD’s off balanced so he can just walk right past him and is just patient enough to let Gafford seal off Booker so there’s no contest right there

That’s why a lot of his shots look easy nothing easy about this shot though I mean good Lord man and this guy is so deep in his back if he’s not the MVP of the league Adam Silver I mentioned this in my Luca MVP video just look at how many open shots Luka

Generates just look at them by the way I want to point out something here you can’t really tell I don’t know why the video quality of this is so shite not very good transition defense there by nurkic but look at this Luca and Booker laughing after the play

That’s a smile you can’t tell that one pixel on on Booker’s face is a smile is the Rivalry dead is it dead I believe at halftime the Mavericks had five free throws and three of them were off of Luca and ones three and ones in the first quarter finishing off balance absorbing contact

Hey Dirk hang up and hang out man the game’s going on how about another n one look at the craftiness here Eubanks comes up to help Boop little fake you’re off balance I’m him and one I’m screaming I’m mean mugging oh hold on a second uh

Oh that’s not good for the rest of the NBA oh [ __ ] this is an incredible block right here by Derrick Jones Jr I mean how do you how do you block this KD I mean that’s at the Apex of his release that’s got to be one of the most

Difficult jump shots in the league to to block I mean most people can only dream of it Derrick Jones Jr gets that at the highest point incredible how about we reward Derrick Jones Jr with a three good job by Kyrie going on Baseline kicking that out to the corner got to

Knock those down if you’re Derrick Jones Jr that’s good to see nice little give and go right here good job by Luca gets to his spot that’s easy and here was a barrage of three-pointers by Luca to start the second half I think there was three threes in the first like three minutes

Of second half action for Luca this one on a catch and shoot nice pass by Josh Green steps right into it it’s welcome then we got this little patented step back right here this will set up a shot in a second that I’m going to show you that is shocking absolutely shocking

Again just the amount of tension that L the amount of attention that Luca draws by the defense they double PJ Washington one pass away good good to see PJ knocking that down you’re going to get those looks here’s an example of some PJ Washington defense on Kevin Durant slows

Him down enough that the help can get there and Derrick Lively Mavs force a miss good work by both PJ and dive and here’s the thing I’m talking about now tell me Grayson all’s playing the step back so Luca just side steps very Jason Tates how many times does Luka hit a

Shot like that like that’s not a last second of shot clock desperation or or game clock desperation that’s s side step to the right I feel like I’ve never seen it you guys let me know this is a good close out and contest by PJ Washington just

Nothing you can do but tip your cap hell of a shot that’s all right that’s all right pjl the wardens were asleep on that one okay we’re going to punish him he’s eating Sloppy Joe’s for lunch tomorrow can you just imagine seven games of shot making of This caliber Deon Booker

Snaking getting to his spot that is a tough shot my God look at this this is so smooth you know Tim Hardway junor defense so it deducts a couple of cool points but that is Silky Smooth by debuk right there the Mavs had some nice hustle plays in the

Second half of this game to led to good looks from three really nice hustle there by Daniel Gafford and Josh Green to save that and look who’s open for three uhoh not that guy the Suns this was a big shot because the Suns got the lead to within one the Mavericks

Mavericks hit that three they’re up four and they don’t really look back after that it’s a good job right here by Maxi stay in front don’t let him get to that spot on the elbow get your hands up show your hands that’s the best you could do

Right there good work how about Daniel Gafford with a block getting hell of a job by Maxi hell of a job by Maxi think Gafford coming from the weak side get that [ __ ] out of here he did say that I think then a couple of plays later you

Had this mean block they called it a foul I don’t care it is a foul but it’s a great job by Daniel Gafford swatting that [ __ ] damn near palming it midair if you’re get a foul F him let him know here we go some PJ Washington defense

Get back good job get your feet set yep good contest that was Deon Booker settling for a two for one right there but you know what it’s a good job by PJ now Luca did get a technical in this game and I gotta say it felt pretty

Warranted they’re going to tee that up every time I like Luka no no wait wait no wait wait oh come on Luka you got to know you got to know it’s like me at the wreck whenever I tell the raap you [ __ ] suck and I get teed up and I’m

Like what I didn’t say anything more PJ Washington defense just use your length to contest use your length best you know you could hope for there really this is just a really really good defensive possession by the Mavericks again Maxi kba did a really great job too good help by Josh Green

Right there forces the dribble pick up good rotations playing on a string Royce O’Neil just got to throw up some garbage pretty nice offensive rebound right there by Josh a kogi but the Mavericks do end up with the ball that’s just great team defense right there hey something we’ve been seeing more of

Lately huh look at Kyrie hustling to go get get the loose ball this is what it’s all about Blood Sweat and Tears put it all in the line look out and then PJ gets the ball in transition and again this is something PJ brings to the table that

Versatility offensively put the ball in the deck finish with the left hand good job more great defense right here great trap in the corner by both Maxi and PJ waston then Luka comes to help and gets a steal I think Luka had what four steals in this game three steals in this

Game and then Kyrie I’ll just take it myself spin finish he’s a nasty boy folks he’s a nasty boy best get passer in the league he’s not even wasting any time here Booker comes okay Sun’s defense not rotating it’s a good cut good face cut right there by Maxi yep good

Job speaking of Maxi Luca just diabolically baiting the defense someone’s got to come help at some point Grayson Allen you played good individual defense for about 15 seconds on this possession but AIC Gordon comes to help for one Split Second that’s all I need actually clearly you’re wide open for

Three knock it down look at look at the coaches on the bench how about some more PJ Washington defense this possession was something special starting out on Kevin Durant Walling that off then switching on to Devin Booker great individual defense here incredible stuff from PJ we’ll ignore

That that was just a slip a a wet spot on the floor and then a bad foul right there at the end of the shot clock but an incredible individual defensive possession speaking of Defense Luca is really not [ __ ] around he gets switched on to Kevin Durant

Yeah I’ll add that to my MVP reel we don’t need to see how this play ended you might look at and say oh wait what happened here Josh Green PJ Washington two-on-one in transition trust me we don’t want we don’t need to see how this one ended more great

Defense by the Mavericks look at Maxi kba great job getting back down ready to help after trapping Devon Booker tremendous work more effort plays Josh or PG Washington great hustle Josh Green offensive rebound and then Kye a beautiful give and go nice finish more PJ Washington defense KD

With the head of steam using his body and his length knocking that out of bounds and again good job in transition hustling to pick up the ball handler great contest right there Sun’s a little bit desperate at this point in the game got to have to you know pre

Shoot threes and prey they go in so you know that’s not the best shot for KD but given the circumstances he had to shoot it but that’s still great job by PJ Washington and then how about we close this out with a Luca dones 3 to get to

41 points how does that sound huh was it 41 or 42 I already forgot it’s in the 40s that’s all you need to know he’s smiling league is [ __ ] he’s winning MVP finals MVP it’s all coming together folks so a great win for the Dallas Mavericks there’s seven wins in a row

They’re cooking they’re on fire I wouldn’t want to play them if I were in the playoffs would you I wouldn’t Luca please unblock me Luca please Unblock Me

Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving outduel Kevin Durant and Devin Booker as the Dallas Mavericks get their 7th straight win!

  1. 10:20 Luka’s hit the side step 3 but it’s almost always been in the left corner. I don’t don’t think I’ve ever seen him do it to the right.

  2. Found ur channel like a week ago. I’ve watched like every mavs game you’ve broke down. Rlly helped me through a rough breakup. Much love

  3. Ay Slightly, can I push your videos on the Mavericks subreddit? Your content is the perfect mix of comedy, highlights and statistics. Keep it up bro.

  4. you missed PJ's contest on Grayson allens layup where Luka get's hit in the face. Great hustle to force the miss

  5. Luka is unbelievable man, I’m praying he comes to Denver so we can win 10 in a row.

    All jokes aside, I’d love to see that Denver and Dallas WCF.

  6. NGL I love slightlys Luka Doncic impersonations. Spot on.

    Also check out the NRL game in Vegas next week and tell us what you think.

  7. Don't let me get to that spot 🤣

    Yeah, that side step three is the first time I have seen it & it looked like he has done it 1000 times in game. He had someone guard his step back well once & he decided that's not okay… lmao.

  8. Slightly B your channel is rocking indeed😂😂😂….Thanks 🙏 for such a commitment u put in….😊😊😊…..cheers from the sunny Portorose Slovenia ❤❤❤❤

  9. Did anyone else notice just prior to the trades our offense was operating differently and playing as a team more?

  10. And yet THJSr. thinks Luka is not setting up his teammate to score, he old school and want old school way to set up guys haha.. Luka's way to set up his guy is to attract attention by sizing his match up and the rest is history… smh THJSr.

  11. Nurkić smoking like 10 layups helped us a bunch. I don't like Ayton but damn… could they not have gotten anyone except AI upscaled Jock Landale?
