The HIDDEN GENIUS Of The Dallas Mavericks

The HIDDEN GENIUS Of The Dallas Mavericks

The Dallas Mavericks won their third game in a row blowing out the Chicago Bulls 127 to 92 Luca donic had 27 points 14 assists and 12 rebounds which was his seventh straight triple double it’s crazy what he’s been able to do this season Derrik ly thei scored 22 points

Daniel Gafford added 20 and Kyrie Irving plus Jayden Hardy also finished in double figures the big men for the Mavs were absolutely spectacular Daniel Gafford and Derrick Livy thei in the Mavs blow a win over the Bulls combined for 42 points 14 rebounds four blocks on

20 of 21 shooting from the field also the Mavericks are now 5-0 when Daniel Gafford starts at Center he’s averaging 15 points 9.6 rebounds 0.8 Steals and 2.6 blocks per game while shooting at 80.5% from the field in these games not to mention Daniel Gafford is on the

Verge of making NBA history I’m surprised not more people are talking about this but Gafford has made an outstanding 28 straight field goals a record that goes back to when play-by-play was tracked beginning in 1996 97 he just needs only seven more consecutive made field goals without a

Miss to tie will Chamberlain’s record of 35 which the legend set during the 1966 67 season so Gafford is eight more consecutive made field goals away from history and he could get that in the Maverick’s next matchup against the Golden State Warriors before we continue

On guys do me a solid smack that like button and smash that subscribe button down below for more Mavericks content just like this Mass fans you guys have been absolutely awesome showing me some love on my Mavericks content on this channel so if you want to see more

Definitely smack that like button and smash that subscribe button your support is always greatly appreciated the Mavericks they might be on to something here guys the performance of the Mavericks big men shows that Jason kid must utilize them more and not overly rely on small ball lineups with maxi kba

Playing at the five and this is when Dallas was losing some of those games and it resulted in Gafford not getting his minutes he only played six minutes against the Celtics and 13 minutes against the 76ers which resulted in two Ls so that incredible B B man tandem

That is starting to shape up here of Gafford and Lively II they must be key pieces in the rotation regardless of the matchup obviously playing small ball has its advantages in certain situations but Gaff and Lively II are too good not too heavily Implement each game both players

They can absolutely dominate a game with their interior presence and their ability to score on the glass and just take a look at their last game I mean both of these guys single-handedly propelled the Maverick and you look at Gafford in particular Jason kid might have something here with him as a

Starter he made his Mark when he got his first start with the Mavericks all the way back when the Mavs took on his former team and the Wizards in that start Gafford had 16 points 17 rebounds five blocks and two steals in the win obviously this was going to make for an

Interesting decision for kit to make when Lively the second returned from injury lo and behold he did regain his starting spot after gafford’s second start but Gafford has now started in the last three games for the Mavericks and they have won all three and Lively the second was not available for one of

Those games but it looks like Gafford could be the starting center moving forward especially with the maps perfect with him as a starter like I mentioned 5 and0 have not lost with Daniel Gafford as a starter to this point and this doesn’t mean it’s going to hinder Lively

The seconds production either I mean as a backup center look at what Lively did he was 11 of from the field and he had eight dunks on route to a career high 22 points to go with seven boards and two blocks so there’s a world where this can

Work with Gafford starting games and Lively II still being a huge contributor from Off the Bench so it’s going to be interesting to see if Jason kid continues to operate like this with Gaff as a starter but I mean you look at the small sample size it’s working

Effectively and this is the type of style the Mavericks need to show a lot more of and of course somebody who’s made making life for the big man easier is Luca donic who is continuing to go about his business and he continues to put up crazy statline after crazy

Statline I mean you look at what Luca is doing this season guys it’s remarkable there’s no other way to put it I mean he is averaging a near 35 Point triple double and you look at Luca over his last 10 games since the All-Star break combined 364 points 114 assists two

Rebounds no other player since 1975 76 has matched that in any 10 game span so Luca doesn’t get the MVP Buzz that he deserves because you look at where the Mavs are they are the e seed but there’s no denying that he’s arguably the best

Player in the game right now I mean he’s right there with Nica yic in my opinion the Mavericks you look at where they’re at they are the e seed but luckily for them they’re only one game back of the Suns who they do have the tiebreaker against against for that six seed and

That is huge because that would avoid the playing altogether and that’s where the Mavericks want to be they do not want to be in the playing tournament especially since they missed out on the playing altogether and postseason you know a season ago so this is a team that

They want to get in they they want a first round full playoff series to operate especially with this new look Mavs team and I still think the Mavericks are a dangerous lower seat especially if they can continue to thrive with this Gafford Lively onew big man punch so the Mavericks they might

Have something here this is a team that you know all things considered I know they went through that rough patch of losing games but since the All-Star break they have shown some improvement you know what was another great thing to see is their defense that hasn’t been

Good as of late you know holding Chicago to under 100 points I think they really needed that so you know hopefully they can build build on that with their defensive effort because we know this Mavericks team they can score a ton of points they can score with the best of

Them but it comes down to you know playing Critical Defense and getting stops so we’ll see if the Mavs can continue to build on this you know three wins in a row can they make it four they got a big back-to-back coming up against the Warriors and then thunder so the

Dallas Mavericks this is the team they look to try to get out of the playing tournament still plenty of time to do it as uh Dallas they have their sight set on one of those top six seeds right now if the playoffs started today it would

Be Kings Mavericks in a playin game and if the Mavericks win that they would be the seventh seed they’re going to the playoffs if they lose that then they would play the winner of the 910 matchup which at this point is lucky and very likely it’s going to be a Lakers Warrior

Showdown but if the Mavericks are able to get the six seed I know there’s still games left here to be played this season but Mavericks taking on the Timberwolves for example Le I think would be an ideal match up for the Mavs especially since the Timberwolves would in all likelihood

Be without Carl Anthony towns I know it has been speculated he could return for the playoffs but that is a team that the Mavericks would want to fall into a first round playoff matchup when looking at some of the top teams in the west but still some time left here the Mavericks

Going to have plenty of time to make up some ground one game back of the Suns for sixth and two 2 and a half games back of the Pelicans for fifth let me know your thoughts this Mavericks team let me know your thoughts on Daniel

Gafford as a starter a like on the video subscribe to the channel if you are new as always thank you so much for watching your sport is greatly appreciated Lucas signing off I will catch you all again in the next Video
