Honestly pretty good 2 games against the clippers. The Zubac destroyed our bigs in the first. Tip the cap. Nice game tonight. 🦝✌🏼📤
think I came to a point where I can accept the intro music. it’s not bad but it’s obviously not the old one. but honestly Nick, we need something extra to let it ride
glad to see the stalker didn’t get you
Great energy win. Kyrie real rusty with a bad shooting game but he help lock up James Harden which is always a good factor to have from your star player other than his offense. Gafford and Lively played better tonight than the last game. Glad to see Gafford get more minutes in the 4th to finish this off.
Klay playing good rn(had 4stls in this one) and Grimes went off in this one. Naji looking better. Great to be able to rest Luka without panicking about not competing to win in such games. Hopefully he comes back soon and more healthy so he can continue to build continuity with Klay. Great bounceback win by the Mavs.
Kyrie didn’t shoot well, but his presence and his gravity definitely made a difference, which led to 8 Mavs players in double figures. He also step up big on defense against Harden. Solid team win!
PJ’s team.
“Pull it out and finish” – Issac Harris
Context. While Lue had some truth to what he said. He did say that after beating the luka less mavs and the mavericks having their worst offensive game of the season. Grain of salt.
I want DLive to look to shoot first when in the paint. He gave up 2 good easy scoring opportunities kicking it out… granted, it turned into assists for converted 3s…but still!
Kyrie was trash
Issac playoff maxi cannot stretch anything if he want shoot and his defense is horrible
15:29 Nick come on bro 😭😭😭😭😭😭
loving the bounce back from gafford and lively the most. In a matter of one game they went from disappointing to outstanding, it shows their grit as well as confirms they can both turn it on to be elite. You asked what could take the mavs' defense to the next level, im now fully convinced it lies in the bigs maintaining their strong presence and altering shots
Idk man😂 now that Issac is back in kinda miss slightly biased 😂😂😂😂
My opinion is that we may be great in the regular season without luka… but we need him in the playoffs and finals
I think Kidd deserves a little more credit for the player acquisitions… sure Nico is the GM signing guys and making the trades, but Kidd is the guy who has made it work so Nico can look like a genius… plus, I imagine that Kidd has quite a bit of input regarding which players the Mavs will go after.
My favorite "D"allas mavericks came back. Their defense was so good tonighy
🎵 HOW DEEP IS YOUR LO.. BENCH 🎵
I feel like, they set up Lively to one day in the future to do a step from the top of the key in the direction of the basket to collapse the enemy defense and then pass out to 2 or 3 wide open shooters. 😅
Imagine being such an amazing team
And then having modern day Kobe/Pierce (Luka) to throw in
I love ❤️ the Mavericks
They gotta do everything to Pay/Keep Lively/Gafford/PJ
Maxi had a couple good defensive plays, and seemed ready to shoot rhat one. Isaac way to harsh on Gafford being micd up. There was plenty of him yelling out defensive calls
I understand Isaac’s argument for Maxi needing to be stretch 5 but the counter to that is Naji and PJ at the 4 and 5
Good win! I also think that Maxi played great except with his offense. If the Mavs decide to trade before the trade deadline it should be a backup forward. My best choice would be Larry Nance Jr or DFS (without sacrificing a first round pick)
No Isaac, no. Mavs relying on "IF" Maxi can be that stretch 5 and shoot the 3 is just dumb. Maxi is a shell of his former self and can't be relied on. They need to upgrade that position by the deadline
Y'all should listen to what they had to say about Luka on NBATV. It's almost like they haven't watched a game since last year
Mavs overall PACE this season is 100.93. It’s 101.75 when Luka is on the floor.
Nick Angstadt was never to be seen after that podcast
INSANE depth would have been to win without Kyrie and Luka in the first game.
Gafford who also, just as lively, bounced back from the previous game and gave really good minutes.
