The Dallas Mavericks are the Hottest Team in Basketball

The Dallas Mavericks are the Hottest Team in Basketball

And just uh another tough loss for the Mavericks I mean Franky Lina was a plus six so I guess we got that going for us I whoa who the hell are you how’d you get here I’m you from the future 2024 to be exact I don’t oh my God what the hell

Is that what the hell is that Mavericks just lost to the Nuggets we’re talking about it Frank neina yeah that’s the French Prince oh I know why I’m here listen I need you to not drink yourself to death watching this team play basketball what get

Better no it does not get better it gets much much worse than this okay but then it does end up getting better a year from now trust me okay but I mean surely Frank NE Lina figures it out right buddy come on surely Reggie bull Haw starts hitting some

Threes right Theo Pinson come on they start playing javel mcore come on they resigned Christian Wood and Christian Wood’s been balling huh oh I hate telling good people bad news wait you don’t have any Grant Williams propaganda plan do you yeah I’m about to go make some Grant Williams to Dallas

Mavericks propaganda right now delete it never make it the Dallas Mavericks close out their pre-all-star break schedule with a win over Victor wh minyama in the San Antonio Spurs 116 to 93 it is the sixth straight win for the Dallas Mavericks they outscored the Spurs by a

Total of 30 points in the second and third quarter alone in this game Kyrie Irving had zero points in the first quarter scored 34 points in his next 26 minutes of game action how about that Luca had 279 and8 he was 10 for 12 on two-pointers lively in his first game

Back after missing seven games with a broken nose plus 27 in 17 minutes playing on a minute restriction with four blocks in only 17 minutes PJ Washington played some great defense in this game on Victor wanyama that we’ll touch on in a bit but man this is a this

There’s some good vibes is happening currently in Mavs land so much so that I’m starting to grow a little concerned I’m starting to grow a little concerned with how excited I’m getting about this team but there’s there’s good reason for it right this six-game winning streak for the Mavericks over that stretch of

Basketball the Mavericks have the best defense in the NBA not not the sixth best not the seventh best the first best defense in the league over the last six games with a 103 defensive rating they also have the fourth best offense in that stretch with a 123 defensive rating

Do some math right there a net rating over the last six games not only are they winning but they’re blowing teams out and I just wanted to look at how the post trade deadline Dallas Mavericks were different than the Dallas Mavericks we saw earlier in this season they had

Two different four game winning streaks at points during the season one to start the season the first four games of the season the Mavericks went 4-0 and had a great start to the season my God how many times I going to say [ __ ] season during that four-game winning streak the

Mavericks were 19th in defensive rating and in a four-game winning streak they had early in December the Mavericks were eighth in defensive rating over that stretch with a one 10 defensive ratings so we have not seen their defense perform at this level at any point this season and another example of how this

Team is sort of Diversified their attack on you they haven’t made over 15 threes in each of their last three games they went three and0 in those three games of course before that the Mavericks were nine and 16 in games this season when they made under 15 threes they’ve been

Winning in other ways rebounding defense scoring in the paint it’s just been great to see you guys thought Kyrie was trolling when he said he could play power forward no he’s being dead serious look at this post defense you’re not scoring over me Victor wanyama had 12

Points in the first four minutes of this game uh I’m here to tell you right now this guy’s going to be really scary he’s 74 I want to just rewind just so you guys can sort of uh think about what the [ __ ] we’re looking at right

Here I like look at everybody on the bench look at everybody on the bench like oh [ __ ] wait wait what but Kyrie Irving doesn’t care he doesn’t care about the hype give me that ball Josh Green running the floor I mean Kyrie Irving making noise with his

Defense early on Wow Thunder is slam Thunder from Down Under sorry guys I got to show every wimy clip I mean this shit’s just nuts and you got to remember one thing about all of this this is the worst it’s ever going to look look at

The bench hold on look at the bench again how about this hilarious post up over Luka gafford’s like trying to help LC you could just kind of almost see the confusion on Luca’s face sort of like what wait what am I supposed to be doing here that’s an end one Victor wenyama

Scoring output decreased later in the game and a big reason for that is Mr PJ Washington good individual defense right here closes that off champeny knocks down this three but good individual defense by PJ Washington that we’ll see more of as the video continues that’s

What we call in the Showbiz um hyping up the rest of your video I got no idea what it’s called actually Luca to Dwight pal connection that as much as Dallas fans want to escape they will never Escape nice little bounce pass free throws Derrick Lively had some huge

Impact in this game despite only playing what was it 17 minutes due to a minute restriction good defense right there I think that was one of his blocks here he is right here defending Zack Collins in the post hand off Vel Lively picks him up Vel tries to go Baseline that’s a

Great contest without fouling right there by Derrick Lively looking sick with the mask such a fan of the black Mass especially with the black jerseys it’s it’s got some Aura to it how about Lively right here closing off this attack by Kellen Johnson right there for the help Kellin Johnson gets

Stuck in the air Luca comes for the steal hilarious bully ball right here from Luca backing down Jeremy soan all the way into the paint gend um interesting interesting defensive tactic right there just let one of the best uh finishers in the league get get right to the rim I

Mentioned Kyrie Irving had zero points in the first quarter of this game did the rest of his scoring from the second quarter onwards and they were hunting this right here this pick and roll with Kyrie and Gafford or Kyrie and and Lively whoever might have been because the Spurs were dropping with Victor

Wanyama and Kyrie was just feasting on this drop with these little mid-range pull-up jumpers hilarious Tim Hardway Junior sequence right here another kind of rough game for Timmy that’s two rough games in a row but damn it I’m shooting over Victor wanyama there’s like outside of superstars Tim Hardway junr might be the

Only guy in the league who’s like yeah [ __ ] it I’m gonna shoot over him I don’t care you know who I am getting feasting in this pick and roll this little mid-range pullup jumper is a thing of beauty I gotta say I kind of like what Blake Wesley brings to the table a

Little bit for the Spurs not a tremendous player or anything like that but he’s something nice pass to wimy right there when wimy gets a point guard uh I’m thinking of like a small potentially balding we’re not entirely sure what’s going on with this hair situation point guard that’s currently

Located in Atlanta Georgia uh he’s going to get so many looks like these it’s just going to be so easy again Kyrie feasting on this little uh drop right here beasting big Gaff had his hands full with wh with Victor wanyama here I think the foot speed and the quickness just

Kind of threw him for a loot but also at the same time what in the [ __ ] are you supposed to do with that feel like he did the best he could Josh Green came to help nice dig right there Luca came to help just not a lot you could do really

This is the type of pace I love the Mavericks playing with sometimes I think they go a little too fast this right here impossible get mad at Kyrie Toca back to Kyrie lob to Lively let your Superstars get out let your Superstars run the floor what a tremendous luxury

To have both of these guys this two-man game between Luka and Kyrie Irving Luca backing down Trey Jones soan inches over just enough just enough to come help that Kyrie I mean this is a deep three but that’s a great look for a great shooter similar situation here but this

Time Kyrie setting a ball screen for Luca I love this Sohan comes over to help and Kyrie gets an even better look at three misses that but that that’s that’s that offense is impossible to get mad at you generate offense like that consistently you are in good shape look

At Kyrie Irving right here man oh my Lord with the left hand look at him afterwards yeah he’s feeling it having two guys that can bend the defense like this not just two guys three guys because gafford’s I’m sorry not Gafford I mean Gafford too but Lively the the gravity that Lively has

On these rolls opens up skip passes like this from Luca to Kyrie then the defense goes to Kyrie beautiful extra pass by Kai then Josh Green ready to knock one down how about this from The Rook I mean a hell of a block by Kellin Johnson Jesus insane block but derricky Wants

Revenge gets back on defense he’s ready [ __ ] no great defense sorry for my French I just like this energy and effort from PJ Washington right here got to stop ball and transition then is able to recover and contest on this kelin Johnson 3 got to give him a shout out for that good

Defense right here by the Mavericks nice job by Lucas staying in front of soan forcing this pass out good job Zack Collins can’t shoot the three but nice job by Lively staying under control there on that close out good recovery by Josh green and just nice individual

Defense right here by Luca to force a bad shot into of shot clock these are the defensive possessions you’re starting to see more of from this team energy activity Focus rotations rotations rotations me highlighting this just goes to show how embarrassingly bad the Mavericks have been at rebounding

The basketball as a unit as a team that I get excited about plays like this from PJ Washington I mean Trey Jones just misses a bunny just that little subtle tip out to Luca I saw that I was like oh hell yeah yeah what a play and you know

It’s a it’s a fine play it’s a pretty Elementary play but it’s just more embarrassing for the Mavericks of years past that I’m excited about that wait what did Lively Lively do here oh yeah that’s right great job by Lively catches stays in control just enough to

Kick it out to Josh Green for the open three and Lively hitting a little s after the pass oh yeah this is play of the night right here and not because Jack in the Box is on the bottom of the screen look at this beautiful two-man

Game between and Kyrie and look at the Finish Kyrie hanging in the air absorbing the contact these two are clicking man these two are clicking look Kyrie had a basket over Victor wanyama that is one of the crazier finishes I’ve ever seen to be completely honest with you

This one right here though degree of difficulty a floater this high with your left hand this guy can’t be serious DJ Washington starting this possession on Victor Wim Yama good drop right here picks up a cell good contest great work PJ great recovery from PJ Washington right here trying his hardest to prevent

This post up from wimy wimy gets past him but look at that great work by PJ Washington great block get that [ __ ] out of here love to see that love this action right here off ball screen by Gafford Kyrie curls get in the wait room Trey Jones Victor wanyama stretch a little bit

Further I know you’re 74 but have to be a little bit taller than that to block this floater cuz look how high in the air it goes my God here’s PJ Washington again making life difficult on Victor wanyama really the only guy in the Mavericks to accomplish that goal last

Night nothing easy nothing easy that’s a soft ass call ref that’s a [ __ ] call you’ve been terrible all [ __ ] game wait why are you giving me aack again PJ Washington getting over that fael screen just sticking on him sticking on wimy balls loose what are we going to do oh

My God we’re panicking soan oh God no just kidding Luke is there for the block he’s making an all defensive team this year can you imagine it’s not impossible it’s improbable all right uh this is one of the best plays of the Season no full

Stop just full stop one of the best one of the best plays of the Season Jesus Christ I just it’s funny CU I wish I was in the brain of of Kyrie right here you know the Spurs do a good job getting back Mavs don’t really have the numbers

Kyrie’s brain I think something just triggered he sees Victor wanyama on him and he says I got to try right I I got to try I mean this finish is just absurd I mean you know we got to find the alternate angle of this just to see the Baseline angle

What wait can we go frame by frame how does this turn into a basket uh more defense right here by PJ Washington use your body close that off post up DM up good job and then Gafford comes in for the block the newcomers at it again PJ again defending this post up

Good footwork way to defend without fouling great work and nice to see PJ Washington get rewarded here with a three ball good kick out by Tim Hardway good read good to see that go down for PJ his shot hasn’t been there so far with the Mavs but he’s doing everything

Else again these possessions are coming becoming more and more common with this Mavericks team everybody rotating well good help defense great job by Lively good close out by Luca that’s a tough shot good rebound I’m I’m speechless cuz I’m just not used to it really then of course you

Still have this guy right here this animal little secondary bump oh get off me you too [ __ ] little again it’s it’s more sad than anything else that we’re excited about tip outs I mean that was a good tip out by PJ Washington right there just tips

Out that rebound I mean again it’s it’s more of an indictment of how terrible this Mavericks team is has been rebounding the basketball lately there goes Luca’s about to pull up a wild ass three again more good defense by the Mavericks right here look at the scrambling look at Luca getting out to

The perimeter Blake Wesley not a great shooter but you got to close out great job using your body Kellin Johnson a three not the best three-point shooter you live with the result good job you got Gafford and this guy now protecting the rim or I should I say this guy and

Gafford now protecting the rim for you get that [ __ ] out I mean that had no chance whatsoever uh the most average Luca donic basket right here again the most average Luca donic make the most average Luca donic post up right here again the most average LCA donic post up

Literally a 720 no scope off the top of high-rise and then how about this to close it out nice job by PJ Washington good read good pass to Lively nice to see good finish by the rookie with the left I mean how excited are we willing

To get for this this is the best Luca and Kyrie have looked as a Duo I know that they’ve had better scoring performances is they’ve combined for higher Point totals but they’re just clicking on all cylinders right now everything they’re doing is with within the flow of the offense they’re getting

Others involved it’s just a a beautiful beautiful beautiful basketball to witness I’m teetering on full delusion guys fully delusional be on the lookout for some things in the very near future that have fully delusional on them something like a thing you put over your body and it covers your nipples and such

And you wear it and it just kind of hangs there and there’s maybe two sleeves and there’s Maybe a collar that your head goes through a little head hole and you wear it around outside and it says fully delusional on it and it’s something maybe in the future you could

Purchase from me just something to keep in mind

The Dallas Mavericks have won 6 straight games. And they’ve done it with their defense.
