This Changes EVERYTHING For The Mavs…

This Changes EVERYTHING For The Mavs…

After a 113 97 win over the Utah Jazz the Dallas Mavericks are no longer in the playin we are finally in the playoff picture as we should be in the six seed after tonight and man that game was great it wasn’t pretty it wasn’t perfect but there were some definitely good high

Moments and a few low moments but for the most part it was a great game a big win for us as we do play the Utah Jazz again on Monday and we have a back-to-back game against the the Sacramento Kings but we’ll break down this game the good the bad the ugly and

Everything in between how’s it going everybody my name is Marcel Martin this is Maverick digest bringing you the latest news on everything Mavericks related and before we get into today’s video 69.7% of you guys watching these videos are not subscribed and if you want to stay up to date on everything

That we’re doing the back toback vids the postgame analysis and even the live streams make sure you subscribe so you don’t miss out on a single thing that we do but like I said man 11397 the Mavericks pulled it out to begin the game I think we’re down like 0 to 6 to

Start but eventually we got things going and tonight Lucas shot was actually falling I know we saw against San Antonio couldn’t buy a shot was honestly his worst shooting night of his whole career but he still somehow finish with a plus five in the Box Score I’m fine

With that but tonight was a different story the shots were falling the three ball was looking good not not exactly where we wanted to be but it was a lot better and man we could not be stopped in the paint Daniel Gafford was getting dunks left and right Kyrie got another

Alleyoop there was a dunk attempt from Luca which was a foul but you know he still tried it I mean drik Joe Jr was also flying flight 55 was clear to take off tonight the guys were looking good our starters were just on point and we’re going to break down the box score

Real quick with you guys PJ Washington finished with six points had two blocks two steals one assist and five rebounds dere Jones Jr had 12 points was a plus 21 his defense was phenomenal he was everywhere he had one block two assists and four rebounds and Daniel Gafford the

Man of the hour the landlord 24 points one steal five assists seven rebounds with three of them being offensive rebounds he was 10 of 11 from the floor the man loves to have these perfect games or near perfect games and then Kyrie Irving had 16 points two steals

Seven assists and five rebounds and Luca dones 34 points four steals eight assists and nine rebounds almost walked into a triple double in this one and Off the Bench and I’ll have to give some some much much needed respect to the man Maxi CLE but he did have seven points

Three three steals two assists two rebounds he was a plus 15 his in only 18 minutes his his defense was phenomenal tonight I I made sure to pay attention to him while he was on the floor and he was he he was awesome I loved what I saw

From Maxi he was two of three from the three-point line I hope that improves going forward uh omx got about a minute in garbage time Tim Hardway Jr 17 points missed all of his shots had one rebound and a turnover minus five in the Box in

The plus minus box score Dwight pal got a minute in garbage time Derek Lively 15 minutes but he had six points one assists and five rebounds Dante exom no points two turnovers two assists two rebounds AJ Lawson got a little bit of garbage time he had a bucket and that

Man Jane hardy hardy party had six points five assists and two rebounds the man was looking good tonight and it was mainly the starters that were getting things going I mean Kyrie not his most explosive and box score stuffing game but still got got things going for this

Team Luca dones got his but Daniel Gafford a lot of people saying he was a second coming to Tyson Chandler I was like you know what I would love to agree with you but I got to see more but the man is just showing us night after night

In the first half Daniel Gafford got hurt not sure if it was in the groin or the knee or his leg but he was limping off the court had to be helped but he came back in that third quarter got some good stretching in there you know he’s

Getting all loose and limber I think like the first or second play in the third quarter at as the third quarter started a lot in a slam from Daniel Gafford the man could not be stopped if he didn’t get hurt in the first quarter he probably could have got 30 tonight

They the Utah ja H had no answer for Daniel Gafford and honestly the last few teams we played had no answer for Daniel Gafford the man is just a monster down low his touch around the rim is unmatched the effort and the hustle I just love to see it the three ball was

Looking a lot better today from the guys although the box score back up as a team we shot 10 of 32 31% that’s a lot better than like 16 or 21 or whatever our last last few games were hopefully that’s a sign that our three ball is starting to

Come back Maxi hit two of three like I said earlier man all props to Maxi I know I’ve been kind of hard on him but it’s because I know what he’s capable of I know Maxi can be that spark plug Off the Bench he’s our quite frankly he’s

Our only stretch four and he’s going be he’s going to be very much part of this team’s rotation come playoff time and just be super super important for us super integral and we and we need the best out of Maxi as far as him hary goes

He’s still in a slump zero points big old goose egg run around get cardio didn’t hit a single shot that is unfortunate and if it doesn’t if if whatever is going on with Tim harway doesn’t fix soon if if that doesn’t get solved soon come playoff time it’s going

To be rough and I and I personally would not want to see Tim Hardway come playoff time especially in crucial moments in in a potential game seven situation or or even if it’s a game four game five late down the stret don’t put Tim in if he’s still doesn’t get things going the

Playoffs are not a time where we want to just try and let him shoot his way back in because it’s definitely not gonna help us down down down the stretch it’s not gonna help us win these games because we’re the six seed like I said we’re the six seed now if the playoffs

Start today we’ll be facing the the Minnesota Timberwolves and honestly I feel fairly confident this team is on all cylinders our defense is great as soon as that three ball improves and just keeps getting better we’re Unstoppable when this team is firing on all cylinders and I’m not saying we were

Tonight but when this team is firing all cylinders we can’t be beat with the interior presence and with Daniel gaff and Derek Lively with with Dante X being a great third ball handler with Kyrie and Luca doing their thing leading the ship and if Tim hard away and PJ WatchON

And Maxi can hit their shots who can beat this team in in a seven game series I find it hard to find any team that could beat this team in a seven game series but let’s quickly look over Utah Jazz box score Lori margan had 21 points

Had two steals two assists and three rebounds uh Hendrick had five points one steel and two rebounds Walker Kessler had 14 points two assists nine rebounds Chris Dunn had four points one steal five assists and four rebounds keontay George had 18 points but he had six turnovers with one steal five assists

And two rebounds got a little bit of help Off the Bench Colin seon was huge for him with 20 points Off the Bench felt like he couldn’t have missed a single shot he was n of 14 looked really good he got he was getting in the grill

Of Luca’s face Luca and Kyrie because Luca I want to say it was like third quarter stole the ball from Colin seon got it to Kyrie and there was a whole play I think Derrik Jones Jr slammed off of alleyoop it was phenomenal and speaking of Aly oops man the Dallas

Mavericks broke a FR a franchise record I lost track of how many but I want to say it was like 18 plus dunks in tonight’s game alone our interior presence has been insane I thought in the beginning of the season this team was more of of a jump shooting team get

The mid-range and the three-point shot if we can get easy easy buckets inside that’s fine but tonight and not just tonight but the last few games it has been completely different tonight Luca was attacking the basket getting easy layups and just getting everything at the rim and not necessarily leaning too

Much on his shot Daniel Gafford like I said the landlord was just throwing down them yams I thought it was Thanksgiving had a plate full of yams from the man Daniel Gafford PJ Washington also had an alyu Derrick Jones had a few Kyrie got one Luca try to get one hopefully he

Does get one soon because Dallas is starting to look like the new Lob City I’m just saying it right now new Lob City is Dallas and we’re proving on a nightly basis it’s insane with what this team is capable of and tonight was great it was a big game for us I understand

The Jazz I mean we’re 41 and 29 they’re 2941 so yes it’s a lesser team and we definitely have to win these but it was big the Suns I think as of the time the recording are losing to the Hawks the Orlando Magic they beat the Pelicans and

Then the Washington Wizards they beat the S I’m sorry they beat the Sacramento Kings so everyone’s losing we’re winning it was a much needed win to get us out of the playing situation and into the playoffs where we can we can just not Coast because we still have about 12

Games left which we have to win to maintain that spot because it’s tight that that playoff picture is very tight in our in our little region that we’re in so big win for the guys Daniel gford I can’t say it enough the dude is a monster haven’t haven’t seen a player

Who can stop him yet unbelievable but don’t just take my word for it Daniel gaffer tonight 24 points which is his Mavs career high five assists the man was hand on the rock which is also his Mavs career high pair that up with six rebounds man was two of 11 from the

Floor plus 22 and we are nine and one as Daniel Gafford is a starter for the Dallas Mavericks what more do you want the team’s looking good and even though I say we’re looking good I also know that we still have room for improvement

Like I said we need to figure out how to get Tim Hardway going zero points against the jazz is unacceptable PJ Watson his shot needs to be improved as well I mean when he attacks the basket and slashes and gets it to the rim it’s usually money and I’m fine with that but

The three ball needs to be found outside of Luca and outside of Kyrie because even tonight I’m not sure if Kyrie really had a good three-point shooting night Kyrie Irving was two of eight Luca was four of 10 I mean they were able to get six threes combined but we

Definitely need more from the rest of the team I know Dante had a great game against the Spurs he was 4-4 tonight was a different night for him the man Maxi two of three I love to see it but if the guys if the guys the bench can

Contribute get us a few threes get us some good defensive stops which I know our bench is really good on defense and Dante and Maxi cleer as well like I said Maxi had a great game defensively tonight if we can improve like I always

Say if we can improve on what we do on a nightly basis all of those problems that we have come playoff time won’t be they’ll be nonexistent we won’t have to worry about it I’m fairly confident in this team no matter who we see in the

First round even if it’s Denver if we lose in the game seven hey we took him to game seven but I’m I’m fairly certain that we that we will make it to at least the second round and after that it’s just money we’ll just run away with it but the

Dallas BS look good tonight it was a much needed dub but real quick let’s get into the segment before I forget we’re going to talk about The Good the Bad and the Ugly of tonight’s game and the good I’ve said it multiple times and I’ll say

It again the good was Daniel Gafford the man is Unstoppable the second coming of Tyson Chandler the man that we got at the trade deadline is paying dividends has to be the best acquisition at the trade deadline by far across the league his per tonight was good the bad however

I got to give it to Tim Hardway zero points nothing can’t even get to the line nothing it was it was just bad hopefully he turns it around hopefully he gets better but it was bad but the ugly man I got to give it to the Utah

Jazz the ugly was Utah Jazz because the moment the Dallas Mavericks got a lead we never lost it you couldn’t catch up we were up by like 18 I want to say like 15 18 points at one moment like we just couldn’t be stopped the ugly goes to you

Utah I know you’re not really in the playoff picture but hey it was pretty ugly if I was a Utah Jazz fan I mean the matters look pretty good I’m just saying but that’s all I got for you guys tonight thank you for making this far to
