Mavs Throttle The Kings; How High Can They Rise In The West? | K&C Masterpiece

A great win by the Mavericks on Tuesday do you want to go back to that game do you want to look a little bit ahead to Friday cuz one of the reasons I wanted to just throw out Friday’s game super quick is you still Trail the season

Series against the Kings 2 to one you have to win on Friday to even it up and then it comes down to divisional win percentage and so not only would you be ahead of them in the standings you’d have a shot in the tiebreaker versus you lose on Friday you’re even up and

You’re going to lose the tiebreaker so Friday is still another big game but you got to feel more comfortable if you’re the Mavericks knowing hey we just beat the crap out of them so we got we’re on a momentum we can’t rest on that that is

Fair and that and that’s where like I’ve been looking at this since last week at least maybe two weeks ago I started pointing out the Jazz and the Sacramento back to back even though it wasn’t like back toback nights the way that it all set up like this is your most important

Time of your schle because easy games it should be against the Jazz which they weren’t like they turned out to be wins but they it seemed like there were struggles for the first three quarters and then the fourth turned out but then you got the Kings

Where you can take that step up and hey there’s a possibility too that you can kind of maybe even get to another spot as we’ve been discussing there but like this whole stretch right here was something that I said hugely important for you to take advantage of especially

To put that in the mind of the kings that they can’t beat you you know you want that there too so hey this is this is this game Friday night is something that uh I think is a good balance too Mike because as we talked about with the

Last one against the Jazz they have so much time off between now and the next game or this last game and the next game that it gives them the time to recover so that the the Kings aren’t sitting there going hey you know they just whooped our ass last night but we’re

Going to get them back tonight you know and and it gives the Mavs a chance to reboot in the city of Sacramento which Mike said is basically like Frisco they have like an Applebees and they’re like what else are they going to do yeah what else are they going to do there but

Focus on the next game go watch the triaa team play yeah so they’re not they’re not even playing yet nobody’s partying in Sacramento do there I’m focused on I just want to stay out of the playin but you can look at the way the Clippers have been struggling some

Of the injury concerns that the Pelicans have and you could legitimately say I wonder if the Mavs could get up to four I I don’t know if that’s people want because you want to stay out of the side of the bracket that Denver will be on if

You think they’re going to end up winning the West outright but I think four is conceivable I was trying to look at Sacramento to see how streaky they’ve been throughout the season and earlier in the year they were I’ll take you to January they had lost four games in a

Row in mid January then came back in one four games in a row and one of those wins was at Dallas but from that point on on you know you can see my computer here Kevin they’re pretty like win one lose one win two lose like I was just

Wanting to see like when they play bad like they did last night cuz the Mavs played great like do they start going into like cuz we seen the Mavs Very streaky Yes they made the trades can’t lose come back from the All-Star break beat Phoenix and then can’t win for uh

Two weeks and then now that it seems like they can’t lose so I was just trying to look at Sacramento and just get an idea on how streaky of a team are they when they have a bad game and I would say most of the time they bounce

Back they do have a couple of last time they lost two games in a row as February 26th and 28th uh to Miami and then at Denver but it seems like after they’ve lost in the month of March at least the next game they have one I’m not saying

The Mavs are going to lose but I think this is going to be a really tough game because it just seems like to me even in the playoffs when a team gets blown out at home it it just they flip the script the next game and I’m hoping I’m wrong

On that I’m hoping Dallas wins another one I’m looking at Sacramento I know we’re talking about the maps okay but let’s just say I’m going to say let’s just say we lose that game and we lose the tiebreaker their schedule then is Utah pretty easy game La not as hard right

Now because of their injuries at New York tough game at Boston tough game at Brooklyn easy game at Oklahoma City tough game versus New Orleans tough game versus Phoenix tough game and then versus Portland easy game to finish so they do they have a tough schedule they

Have a tougher schedule so if if you do lose Friday and we’ll find that out later in the week and you don’t hold the tiebreaker you do have a little bit of an easier schedule or schedule than they do the thing that I was looking at there

Is I I’ve got the Mavericks I think I said this a while back I think they finished at 49 wins I look at that King schedule and I’m like 48 or 49 wins so it’s not hard to figure out how Friday could be a huge Pivot Point for both of

Them I have them at five more wins which gets him to 47 so I’m just going to say you better get to 48 and I’ll just real quick I’ll say Dallas just because they split they beat Utah they beat the Clippers right now because of their injuries they beat Brooklyn they win one

Of the three Oklahoma City New Orleans Phoenix and then they win the Portland game and that gives them five more wins right I think that might have been six that might have been six you better get to 49 or your life comes to an end okay against the Sacramento Kings and the

Tiebreaker might be a bit dramatic I feel I felt like you wanted did it not feel like you he wanted me to up it up a little bit he want you to go to 12 more no I just thought you counted to six instead of five one two 3 four yeah

Counted to six Mike Mike I just want to let you know we were trying on hats over why do he does that why listen we were trying on hats over there mean and I was trying to figure out which sizes were bigger than which and one of our toos it

Seemed seems like uh he was like you guys having problems with fractions and I was like Kevin’s not I definitely am Kevin he will he will correct your fractions very quickly we’re at Rally House in man man actually I said I said while we’re at Rally House here trying

On hats he uh I was like Hey Kevin is this seven and 38 and he pulled a red marker out and was like I’m going to I’m going to give you a big X on that one well you because you said is seven and 38 bigger or smaller than seven and 3/4

And my response in them I feel like you should know that it just makes us feel bad yeah you should he’s a math wizard he’s the wizard of math dude I didn’t get it then and so never stuck by the way since we’re at Rally House I’ve be a

Terrible teacher I’ve been eyeing this t-shirt Texas Texas speed bump and it’s a picture of an amarillo on the that’s armadillo nope I stopped myself I I feel like you would tra me there I feel like you tra me and that was like nope don’t

Do it the song is I want to go home with the armadillo not home with the Amarillo you think song is armadillo by morning yeah armadillo by morning have you guys ever ran over an armadillo uh I don’t think so no but I’ve seen them yeah they die my father-in-law had he mo

Frequently has armadillos in his pool they love his swimming pool yeah they go jump and they swim around in his pool all the time they look like big rats with a shell to me are they just a possum with a shell did a possum find a Shell mhm like all these possums all

Found shells in Texas yeah they man you don’t know how many shells there are that is true yeah instead of playing pawsome they play armadillo mhm so Kevin you asked yesterday how many of these uh on this five game ro road trip how many of the Mavs could win

And I said five and0 how are you feeling now that they took one from the Kings uh are you feeling like you know what hey this could be still four cuz I did settle in at four- one I think four- one is still feasible don’t look that’s a

Tough road trip man you’re right but I don’t I don’t want to take away from what you’re saying they’re two and 0 mhm they need to win three more it’s just another one against Sacramento Houston has been on F and fire and then finish up against Golden State if they go four-

One I will be fine yeah and on that on that drive down we need zon to come back he’s their he’s their cancer they start losing somebody texted yesterday Mike and they were like Jaylen green is going off because obviously of the kid situation that he’s got going on there

But that’s a different story for a different day well I mean didn’t we interview a cowboy who had a similar situation and how’d that go yes and I if you they changed the rules for him to be better good Lord if you remember who that was text in but I’ll tell you the

Exchange we had on the other half we spoke with somebody from the Cowboys and said hey did you know blah blah blah and he goes hey don’t say that on air and I said no he said it on air and I think his response was F and that was pretty
