NBA TODAY | “Luka Doncic-Kyrie Irving duo look scary!” – Windy on Mavericks DOMINATE Kings 132-96

It’s NBA playoff push time the Mavs OKC both in action the Mavs and the Kings all kned up in the standings they took on each other last night LCA donic double double machine damont sabonis first quarter sabonis got going tough laying to go there had 12 points 11

Rebounds nine assists on the night finished with his 55th straight double double six player in NBA history to do that but it was all Dallas in this one especially all Luca look at that no look behind the back pass to PJ Washington for the three they were up three after one and then

More donic in the second watch this step back three got it and as if you didn’t see that next Maverick’s possession Luca step back three got it deja vu all over again 26 points in the first half 15 15 time score and 25 plus in the first half

Of the Season most Bing players since 96 97 they were up five at halftime they didn’t need Luca much the rest of the way cuz they just got rolling here’s Kyrie split in the D and then Mavs up nine Kyrie from three and the Mavericks win big in this

One 132 to Dallas in the in the baseball Series to theoretically end all baseball series Dallas got a big win blew the Kings out Tuesday night um both coming off backto backs but the Kings an easier one and at home and uh Luca who’s been you know putting up numbers of very ious

Amounts for months had a huge first half established the uh the Mavericks and then they put this away uh you know Midway through the you know during the second half McMahon um Dallas is a team that as I talk to people in the league I talked to coaches

Talk to Scouts they’ll they’ll several different times in the last seven to 10 days people have been like we just played Dallas and man they’re scary or I just saw Dallas and man they look good um you know you hear it once you hear it twice he like okay yeah I’ve heard that

Before but Dallas is starting to show some teeth I know defensively that’s we’ve talked about we’ve talked about him but starting to show some teeth and in a second we’re going to talk about the west standings but the Mavericks situation is quite interesting and getting more so as

They take this big game in sack they have certainly made it interesting they’ve won nine of the last 10 now the one loss in that stretch is when Lucas sat out uh in Oklahoma City didn’t make the trip because he had a little tightness in his hamstring obviously

That was minor and and no big deal and look the defense is always going to be the question but this stretch of nine wins in 10 games started immediately after Jay kid having looked at this team that you know through the first five or six games after the Allstar break was

Literally the worst defense in the league during that stretch and said okay we’ve got to make some changes he plugged Gafford in the starting lineup he plugged Eric Jones Jr who is their best on ball Defender into the starting lineup they also got Dante XOM back

After he’d been out for a while uh nursing a knee injury he’s their other guy who’s that’s a lot of length those three and and Maxi kba he’s not playing nearly as much center now they are going with it tag team The Gafford Lively tag team but when Maxi’s playing the four

Next to one of those guys that’s an awfully big team and A lot of times he’ll play the four PJ Washington’s playing the three they’re they’re much bigger than they were to start of the Season they’re much more athletic than they were to start the season like drastically more athletic than last

Season’s team as Jay kid says they can compete in the layup lines now that’s his that’s his kind of favorite line and tonight’s game like it why are they dangerous it really does get back to to this they are more athletic they are bigger but they’ve got two guys who can

Takeover games Luca dominated the first half still a close game at Halftime then Kyrie just came out in the third quarter and completely took the game over next thing you know it’s an absolute blowout and suddenly you look at the standings and you kind of watch you know watch the

Clippers stumble all over themselves and you say man man could they finish as high as the four seed like you know look obviously they could still stumble back into the playin they’re you know they they just kind of poke their heads out of that now

But I think as high as four is is very much in play given the way the Mavericks are playing and given how the Clippers have been stumbling well and given their schedule you know after this baseball Series they have at Houston at Golden State home for Atlanta and Golden State

In Houston at Charlotte at Miami home for Detroit at Oklahoma City the next time they play a team after Friday that’s around them in the standings or better is when they play Oklahoma City the last day of the season a game that the Thunder could have nothing to play

For like we could be looking at a situation where the Mavs go 18-2 to close the season I they’ll probably drop a couple games in there but like all those are they’re going to be favored to win just about every one of those games and given like you said how the Clippers

Have fallen got Brandon ing mou for New Orleans certainly you’re looking at a scenario where we could be talking about Dallas having home court in the first round of the playoffs which would obviously be a dramatic turnaround from where it looks like things are going to

Be a couple weeks to go would certainly make you feel a lot differently about where Dallas is overall in the direction they’re headed in than if they’re in seventh eth or ninth and they’re fighting to get out of the playin like we’ve been expecting for weeks

Now well by the way real quick um I had it muted I didn’t turn it off I had it muted I so I could I didn’t hear what they were saying on the broadcast but Mark Cuban was identified as Maverick’s proprietor on TNT tonight is that was

That a joke or is that not he’s not the owner of the team I know I don’t know what propr means I’d have to look that one up I was amused that at the Tex Sumit in at the allstar game he was identified I believe as entrepreneur and

Something else and the word Mavericks or Dallas Mavericks were not uh listed anywhere at the NBA’s uh Marquee mid season event so uh we need some reporting out of you McMahon to find out what this Mavericks proprietor if that’s a legitim I have to look it up in a dictionary to even know

What the hell the word means well I don’t even really know like proprietor means is a kind of a guy who like mines the store like it’s it’s kind of another word for owner but is it a synonym for uh for mascot no but your point is well taken

Um an owner just so you know man proprietor is an owner of an unincorporated business Enterprise a person enjoying exclusive right of ownership to some property I mean he still has awesome seats he does um could he be called like chairman ameritus or something uh Governor ameritus that that whole

That whole situation continues to be one of the stranger things we’ve ever seen in the NBA where this guy sold the team and still is somehow being masqueraded around as being in charge of the team I got well Patrick deont the the governor made it clear that he’s the governor and

Uh that Nico Harris me Patrick is yes Patrick that’s what I mean I whole thing is amazing but who cares just an amazing deal I know has great seats and he’s watched the Mavericks win a lot of games so everybody’s happy right now he great seats great teeth and a interesting title

Um yes so Friday two days off now in Sacramento let’s see how the Mavericks handle this uh Prosperity here because they put themselves in in nice position we’ll see how the uh Kings bounce back but you brought up the Clippers bont temps I the Clippers actually I guess

Technically had a good night on Tuesday night because the the Thunder who we’ll talk about in a few minutes had a very nice fourth quarter performance in winning in New Orleans um the Clippers weren’t playing that’s why it was a good night for the cers so they they took took o i don’t

Took over uh they moved from fifth to to back to Fourth by regained um there was a day in February where the Clippers were in first place I believe it was just for a day but they were in first place and as as this the record I

Kind of feel like this is going to be a record that is going to be repeated for a long time they were at a stretch where they went 26 and five they looked like a team that had maybe not all the answers but a lot of answers and they was in a production

Meeting today uh before NBA today and we were going over the West playin race which is something we do almost every other day and we were looking at a graphic and I go oh no no no put one more team in there because we just a couple days ago the Rockets were

Promoted and now we’re promoted to 11th and I was like guys hot Houston Rockets we need to move some space down cuz we got somebody in Reverse cuz I’m telling you the Clippers have a two game cushion if you want to call it that in the loss

Column as they head out east uh starting in Philadelphia on Wednesday night the Clippers have followed up that that stretch by going 10 and 12 over the past uh 50 days or so and go into that game like you said sitting just ahead of the Pelicans and Mavericks in the west hello for Fore speee don’t up lady I I by what they there For back little What fore spe for forign fore fore fore Speech fore foreign Speeech For
