Mavs’ Frontcourt MELTDOWN: The Dallas Mavericks Have Issues with Anthony Davis’ Team
The Dallas Mavericks struggle against the Los Angeles Clippers, highlighting their need for a true point guard and more time to gel as a team. Can the Mavs salvage their season with Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II, and PJ Washington in the frontcourt despite Kyrie Irving’s absence?
Nick Angstadt and Slightly Biased discuss the Mavericks’ recent struggles, including their blowout loss to the Clippers and defensive issues. They analyze the team’s lack of playmaking, the impact of injuries, and potential offseason moves to address their point guard situation. The hosts also touch on Spencer Dinwiddie’s performance, Kawhi Leonard’s strong play, and the Clippers’ impressive form heading into the playoffs.

THEY PLAYED LIKE THEY WANTED TO LOOSE, THEY CANT POSSIBLY BE THIS BAD. NONE OF OUR BEST PLAYERS EVEN TRIED. EVEN P.J. . TO MUCH CRAP TO EVEN TALK ABOUT. WTF. ADIOS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
last all passion for the team now
I swear luka played better defense on harden last year than this year's 'Defence' lineup… 😂
Remember the days when the Mavs had a Clipper killer?
Discovered you guys from all this recent mess. I respect the fun and passion guys. No matter how dark it gets just know you affect lots of folks positively. There’s so much to enjoy in life, nba fandom is one slice! ✌🏾
Now we see why AD was begging for a big in LA. He does not want to play defense in the paint.
THANK GOD FOR THE RANGERS 😂😂😂❤ 7 & 2 GREAT PITCHING 😂😂😂😂😂 ONLY DODGERS HAVE A BETTER RECORD
Why is Max not being utilize like in his first few games with Mavs?
We have one playmaker, AD, which is not a facilitator. We are not connected on defense either.
😂😂😂 they really thought AD is good…dude can dissapear for weeks on weeks after having a good game enjoy him..thx for Luka we love him❤
Slightly Heartbroken 💔.
Record vs over .500 teams since THE trade
Mavs : 4-13
Lakers: 14-5
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They are just not a good defensive team right now and it is to do with the inability to execute on offense. Right now it does not feel like they are just missing Kyrie to be a competetive team. Trading midseason just to have a less „stressful summer“, just bad management decision, even if you feel like trading LD – so awful to watch this team right know
AD wants big man buckets but does not want the big man defense assignment.
"I have deep man crushes on AD and Nico Harrison" -@Blue_Fox1988
They just look like they don't care. It's sad to watch.
Thats a huge AD problem. He falls a lot and he is slow to get back
Nico: defense wins championships 😅😂
I've tried to believe but damn, not a good look.
Lakers aren't giving up Reaves. Lots of teams have asked already and he is not on the table.
AIPAC owner's agenda to destroy is real
Stop crying. Mavs losing doesnt mean theyre done for good
This season more confusing than then the 1st 5-6 episodes of severance
Nico the ego maniac and his mavericks haha downbad.
Remember when Luka shut down whoever he was guarding on the Clippers in the Playoffs?
AD allowed 80 points in the paint and 25 from Zubac on 11/11 shooting.
Mavs clearly won the trade.
Nico I don't think he will be back next season?
Im wishing the absolute worst for the Mavericks for the next century or two. Sickening to watch
Second best team in the west is definitely golden state right now especially in the last month
The Mavericks are in trouble
I still can’t believe you guys traded Luka
can't have clippers winning another game with the 3-6 seed being one game tight.
Nico will trade AD for Luka in the Summer. Not. 😂
Got one name for you guys… You can get him on the cheap and he has chemistry with AD… Perfect place holder until Kyrie gets back… Dlo …. They really had a great 2 man game… Just a thought … Probably get him for 13-15 mill … And yes AD falling to the ground is going to be a problem…
Defense wins championship
Man mavs no good gaurds that can shoot 😂😂😂
Statistically speaking, the Lakers defense got significantly better once AD went down. How did you guys think this was going to go?
3 front court is nonsense if you don't have solid point guard
AD better not play in another game this season! I knew he wasn’t right! He was playing like he was 45 even though he had a good night the other night. He was playing like he could possibly get injured. That guy needs to go get surgery and sit his ass down somewhere!
Mavs have so many bust on the team
Another creator?? You had freaking Quentin Grimes and you packaged him with a bow on top
Nico a bum
Alondes Williams was really impressive in preseason Clippers with Kai Jones. Unstoppable duo
Dude solid handles, put backs/mad hops, can drop 35 on your head, etc.. Exciting productive player
Mavs took 78, Clips 96 shots. Guy like Williams probably fix that. Some guys just need that opportunity
Kai Jones got a chance, and certainly look like he delivered. 18 pts 20 min. 90% FG overall? Hella productive
Not a chance Gafford for reeves lmao
It's okay,instead of competing for a play-in spot,why not tank further for a chance to get cooper flagg or any high draft pick
After everyone comming back and few honeymoon wins the chemistry building starts all over again. That intagible, that oponent has already… That is how it works. They are not machines.
Is the defence still winning Championships?
PJ has regressed so much
I would trade patric dumont and nico harrison for Luka Dončić next season
