This Is NOT The Same Dallas Mavericks…



This Is NOT The Same Dallas Mavericks…

Well I just say Luca’s job to win games is much more easy now and he finally gets some more reinforcements to help with this Dallas Maverick’s team and just recently these new signings of Daniel Gafford and PJ Washington led to a 35-point win for the Dallas Mavericks

Over a very very good OKC Thunder team and the crazy thing is in this game against the Thunder the Dallas Maverick set a franchise record for the most points in the first quarter with 47 points and I’ve been saying it the addition of Derek Lively alone has helped the Mavericks tremendously but

Now you’re adding Daniel Gafford who is another lob threat for Luca and alongside that PJ Washington who can space the floor out for you in today’s video we’re going to break down some film on both PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford and how exactly they played so

Well on their debut and how they worked so well with Kyrie Irving and LCA donic before we go any further though guys if you’re new to the channel make sure you smash that like button and hit that subscribe button and let’s start this video off by looking at Daniel Gafford

Daniel Gafford has always been that lob threat in Washington he just went severely overlooked because the Washington Wizards aren’t a good team Daniel Gafford is very good he knows when to box out he knows when to go for a lob and his cutting abilities are also

Amazing on this play Luka donic has the ball in the right wing and you could see Daniel Gafford is slowly making his way into the paint and he has a mismatch in Isaiah Joe so as Luka donic is cutting into the paint Daniel Gafford goes in

And boxes out Isaiah Joe so he has enough room to catch that law from Luca and dunk it into the rim but here’s another example when Luca and Gafford are both going at The Rim again over here as Luca and Gafford are attacking downhill both chat homr and Jaylen

Williams have to make a decision are you going to double Luca donic or are you going to stay on Daniel gaffer but CH homr decides to guard on Luca so this gives Luca the ability to lob the ball up and Daniel Gafford finishes this is the dangerous part about giving Luca

Donic a lob threat because Luca is so used to being doubled and now he has a lob threat in Daniel Gafford and Derk Lively at the same time so it it’s pretty much impossible to guard him now but what else does Gafford provide on the defensive end while he’s a type of

Player that’s going to lure in the paint and wait till somebody cuts so he can get himself a nice block he’s practically a very solid rim protector for you a good example is on this play where Gafford is guarding giddy in the corner and as you guys see Gafford is

Deep in the paint because he knows that he could afford to let giddy shoot a corner shot so with gafford’s positioning as Shay drives into the paint he’s automatically there to block the shot and be an amazing rim protector but the most important thing for this MAV Squad is rebounding and it’s

Something that you need in every team to become a champion and that’s one thing Gafford had the Knack to grab the ball whether he gets a bad pass whether a teammate misses a shot he’s going to always be there to grab the rebound let’s look at this play for example Luca

Donic is going up for a step back three-pointer but Daniel gafford’s positioning and box out is already there deep in the paint but unfortunate for gaffer the ball bounces off the bad side of the rim which causes SGA to get the first tap on the ball but Gafford has

There to rip the ball away and get himself a bucket but this play that I’m about to show you changes everything for the Mavs Gafford goes to set a screen for Kyrie Irving and while Kyrie is coming off the screen and pulling up Gafford is already sprinting into the

Paint and he boxes out chat homr and rips the rebound away from him and puts up an and one bucket which which is insane but what if I told you that PJ Washington is almost as impactful as Daniel gaffer his ability to penetrate the paint causes Defenders to have to

Collapse on him which leaves wide open people to knock down three-point shots a good example is on this play when they swing the ball to PJ Washington in the left corner and what he does is instead of shooting he drives into the paint to attract two Defenders which leaves a

Wide openen Tim Hardway Junior for a three-pointer and you don’t want to do that but what if I told you that when he penetrates the paint he also creates opportunities for himself over here PJ gets the swing in the left corner pump fakes and automatically attacks the

Paint SGA collapses on him so he then has to swing the ball to Derek Jones but look at what happens after he swings the ball chat holgren flies away and he has a wide open Lane to donk the ball this is what happens guys when you you play unselfish basketball you’re going to

Always lead yourself to get an easier bucket but you guys may be saying why are people helping when PJ Washington attacks the pain well that’s what he’s good at that’s what he does the best attacking the pain and a good example is this play when PJ gets the ball on the

Left wing and attacks the defender’s top foot this causes the defender to have to move his legs a little bit more than usual causing PJ Washington to body him because the defender is off balance and PJ Washington has himself a wide open layup and just a tip when you’re playing

Basketball when you want to attack the paint make sure you attack the top foot of the defender he’s going to be severely off balance and you’re going to get yourself a wide open bucket like PJ Washington did but one thing I also love about PJ is that he has a very good post

Game and when he gets the ball in the left block here what he does is that he jab steps so he has enough room to attack the middle of the paint and once he gets in the middle of the paint he hits his Defender with a shimmy and this

Gives him more than enough room to get off the Jump hook but obviously when you’re playing with Luca donic you’re going to have abilities to catch lobs like the one you’re seeing on your screen right now PJ won’t really have to worry about self-creation too much he

Can just run off the ball and sit in the corner and get himself very good looks and obviously what PJ Washington also does it spaces the floor out for you so when Luca donic is driving into the paint he has more room to operate with Daniel Gafford in the pick and roll and

Also away from Gafford and PJ Washington you could see that this team has a lot of Shooters around Luca and it’s been working wonders you got Maxi kba you got Tim Hardaway dropping you 10 points and hitting two big three-pointers you got Hardy who is a young Talent that’s also

Going out there and being very efficient on the only 10 minutes that he had all night against the Thunder and in the last 10 games Kyrie Irving and Luca donic have been on an absolute tear Luca had 32 points eight rebounds nine assists against the Thunder while Carrie

Irving also went crazy scoring 25 points six rebounds and eight assists but the most important thing is that both Luca and Kyrie are taking turns bringing the ball up and their playmaking has been on an all-time high as they both combined for 17 rebounds and especially when you

Have Gafford and PJ Washington expect your assist numbers to Skyrocket thr it’s like you guys had him instant chemistry oh yeah most def like playing with guys like that I just know the right spot to be in you know and like as long as they see me long as I put a

Finger up they they know pretty much where to throw it at let me know in the comments section guys how far are the Dallas Mavericks going to go in this year’s playoffs and will they be a top five seed with these moves but that’s

  1. first noticed gafford with russ, he had so many highlights with russ and saw he’s an above average defender, finally he’s on a winning team

  2. If Luka can play off the ball a little more and screen for Kyrie this team is going to be crazy in the play offs. Also needs to push the pace a bit more and stay healthy.

  3. Washington is a good pick up a nice weak side offensive option. Gafford can start if Lively is out and gives them another athletic big. Great moves but they lost Seth Curry

  4. The chemistry is the most important aspect of basketball and it’s early to tell but definitely looking more promising for the mavericks, should definitely be a team not to mess with from now on

  5. at first I thought it was a mistake giving up Williams as we will need his big body in the playoffs. However I didn't expect gafford to play like this either. He always showed up on highlights of other players getting crossed or dunked on. So it turned out to be really good and mavs again made good moves. Except just saw a video of Luka reaction on JJ reddick podcast of losing brunson for nothing. I was a kyrie fan and who loved mark cuban from years as a business man but never expected kyrie would go to mavs and actually love the front office of mark cuban with mutual respect. despite all of this people defend nets front office, nobody even knew kyrie posted a story that was an issue until Tsai the owner tweeted a apology. Than all the media picked up and the next day was crazy. Now here is kyrie happy with mark cuban a Jewish decent who supported kyrie during all of that

  6. Mavs sitting in the 8th seed and fans getting excited about DANIEL GAFFORD? Yeah y'all can wrap the season up lmfao

  7. Gafford reminds me of a prime Steven Adams. PJ Washington reminds me of KCP. Those are tremendous additions to the Mavs. Clearly the winner in the trade deadline.

  8. This is exactly what the Mavs needed, a good interior defender and rebounder+ lob threat in Gaff, and a solid all around player in PJ!

  9. That must be such a relief to be out of Wash and playing with a facilitator like Luka.
    Great video, thanks for the info!

  10. I live in Dallas, and I’m an OKC fan, and, Mavs, but I’m big into OKC this year, had tickets for the game on the 10th Mavs v Thunder, and went in fully confident OKC was going to smoke Mavs. And I proceeded to watch as the Mavs effortlessly destroyed OKC. Needless to say, I drank quite a bit. Mavs are a threat again.

  11. Gafford is my fav pick up, love his game, big man’s big man, that boy finna go up
    Depending on matchups, cud def make the WCF 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

  12. Mavs made some nice trades to get Washington and Gafford. Trade gives them much needed help on the board and scoring.

  13. best line up so far. they just need to be consistent, especially the role players. im still in doubt if hardaway, but let's see with this upgrade. gafford, washington and lively should be the rotation for the bigs. i hope kidd is aware of that. powell is past his best years after that injury. i'd have this line up as the starting 5:
    luka kyrie j.green pj lively
