Dallas Mavericks vs Denver Nuggets Full Highlights 1st QTR | Mar 17 | 2024 NBA Regular Season

I like that have fun yeah that’s what this is we forget it’s a basketball game that’s right we’re living our dreams we are here is joic Den has taken the first two meetings this season between these teams Murray missed it and Washington the rebound defensive glass a primary

Concern for Jason kid that’s the first thing he mentions when talking about Dallas’s defensive struggles this season here is Irving no wow Derek Jones Jr nearly gave us the dunk of the season but just air mailed it the whole crowd you could hear that you put your left forearm right

Into my bicep you were anticipating it Porter can’t hit the three and Washington another rebound I always like watching the first three or four defensive possessions what are the Denver Nuggets going to do against Luca what are the Dallas Mavericks going to do against yic we’ve already seen one

Double team against joic on the post and now I’m very curious to see what they do with dones obviously he’s going to switch it up but how are they going to start the game donic was able to cruise in there yic gets fouled after Caldwell Pope MVP he would become just the ninth

Player ever to win at least three MVPs and the eighth to do so in a four-year span well I had dinner last night with Devin Harris uh MAV great as Dante Cashes in on a three and he asked me he goes why is Luca not higher in the MVP

Conversation what well to me right now it’s yic is it’s joic and everyone else I think Luca is having an MVP number season but that’s got to generate a few more wins and they have to be in a little bit better spot right now joic is doing all of those things Porter hits

Yep Denver 47 and 20 now they are in a virtual tie with Oklahoma City although the Thunder have the tiebreaker they took the season serious from the Nuggets here’s Jones sliding in left it short popped in the air gets it back chance here for Washington no DJ Washington

Coming off a rough shooting game the other night was 0 of seven from three Jason kid liking that he continues to take them though as Gordon can’t hit the wide open Corner look donic Wheeling Irving comes back to help him donic sizing up Caldwell Pope donic gives it up Irving knocks it

Down from three and that’s a mistake by Aaron Gordon Luca was completely under control kcp one of the best on ball defending guards that we have there was no need to help his Kyrie out with the steal Irving lobs it up and Jones puts it down time out Denver an outstanding

Start in European players we kind of think we have something similar in the paths we took he also told me their friendship flourished in the bubble where they quote had a nice little party let’s say he told me it’s a good friendship they have dinners at each

Other’s homes where they can and every Allstar as you saw they are together and as because he doesn’t want to do any more interviews he doesn’t want to do anything else other than what he has to do but I think joic is a great Ambassador sometimes people talk about

Is he the Ambassador being the MVP I think joic is an amazing Ambassador he lifts up play we’ve had conversations with and Joel embiid and him complimenting so many players in this league everybody does it their own way and I think joic has done a great job how about Kyrie Irving’s defense early

Was coming you know to your point about the way he communicates with players around the league is Porter who has been redot since the All-Star break drills the three even the other night Victor wanyama talked about how yic actually at one point gave him advice in game about

What not to do defensively oh and I’ve seen that from other great players but I just don’t I think people don’t give joic the credit that he deserves for being an ambassador Irving keeps it alive Jones gives it up gford slams it down with yic the innocent [Applause]

Bystander a 128 Dallas lead terrific activity early here from Kyrie Irving who’s had a great season for Dallas Murray Miss fires Porter Junior storms in can’t finish yic the tip no then has it’s swiped Away by donic Lucas [Applause] three here’s Murray looking to take Washington goes right around him and

Draws theing have been an outstanding rookie starter for this Dallas Mavericks team but you bring in more big depth so now when gaffer goes out with 2 you bring in live he’s having a good year 9.7 rebounds for a rookie with playing with these veterans those are impressive

Numbers yeah is amongst the rookie leaders in basically every category just recently shifted to the bench and in one of those bench games had a career high 22 points Gordon put it down in traffic and then gets the whistle OIC has assisted 71 of them which is the most by

Any duo in the league I I’ll tell you what if Aaron Gordon gets to his one two step and that lob goes up from joic there is no stopping that Irving can’t finish joic the rebound his third board to the quarter here’s Murray into Gordon

Has the size on Irving and slams it down with serious Authority and I told you once he gets to his One Two Step that wasn’t the lob there that was just posting up Kyrie but if he gets to his one step it is pretty tough to elevate

With him oh my goodness what a dish from donic I love him here given this his cowboy country well but he’s from Texas I think he’s so great that it transcends what team you root for you tell that to Cowboy fans you tell that to Cowboy fans if you play for the

Eagles or the Giants might be different exom nearly an advantage for the other team and you’re 20t away as your team goes downhill take the turnover get back and play defense here’s Murray stopping on a dime yic with a shot clock fading back iron no exom the

Board exom coming off a tough game but the Mavericks have been so happy with his return to the NBA season donic massaging his way left it short Dallas has gone cold now five of 15 Denver just three for 10 from the Floor nuggets with their starting five still in there yic turns and lays it in as Lively went for the Steal Jason kidney but also his passing is one of the things that can beat you especially to a player like Kyrie your phrase Richard you’re outstanding phrase it’s

Not mine it’s it’s one that I hear all the time from playing basketball Lively oops the alley from exom show help don’t give help well with certain players there’s certain players you can Kyrie I wouldn’t help off of him too often unless that’s the game plan Porter step back three it is good

Michael Porter Jr post All-Star break averaging just under 20 points per game on 5542 and 94 when it comes up from the floor three and free throw line donic gets the whistle that team where he isn’t shooting well the rebounding has become such a consistent part of his production also has enjoyed the

Increased commitment on the defensive end as well well rebounding is also a part of the def you’re and I think that’s one of the heed on the defensive endic banging in flipping up left it short popped to the ground Here Comes Dallas with numbers donic behind the back Lively couldn’t grab it
