Mavs’ Defense COLLAPSES vs Memphis | Anthony Davis Shows Fight in Dallas Mavericks Loss…
The Dallas Mavericks’ season comes to an end with a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA Play-In Tournament. Anthony Davis fights hard for the Mavs, but it’s not enough as the team looks to rebuild around their star center.
Nick Angstadt & Slightly Biased break down the Mavs’ final game of the season, discussing Anthony Davis’ impressive 40-point performance, Klay Thompson’s contributions, and the bright spots from young players Max Christie and Brandon Williams. He analyzes the struggles of PJ Washington and the team’s overall performance against the Grizzlies, while also touching on Dereck Lively II’s minutes restriction and Daniel Gafford’s limited playing time.

If luka had stayed and everything else went the same (Kyrie’s injury), the result would’ve been exactly the same.
I’m here at the end but I am so against the Mavs (not the players) rooting for the lakers now too.
Thank you, Nico!
Doesnt the orlando magic this year kind of prove defense doesnt win championships? They're number 1 in defense and not close to being a championship contender.
Screwed. This team is screwed next season
Defence wins championships
Dont you mean a lot has been said about the "Vegas Mavericks?"
The Nico curse continues
Enjoyed the show these last few months.. I just can’t get over it … Luka crying was last straw.. I’m done
Ladies and gentlemen, I present you the Nico Mavericks! Enjoy!
No Luka singing at parade
people blaming the supporting cast are missing something. They were built around luka (lob passes for gaf and lively) and open 3's (PJ). Plus subconsciously not having Luka around made them less confident.
sell the team, fire nico and kidd, and maybe luka would come back, it shows he loves Dallas. i miss their line up before with luka, ky, klay, pj, lively, gafford, and naji. Nico really messed up the mavs. he could just wait when everyone is healthy.
MFFL is now Mavs Fan For Luka!
realistically if mavs made that come back and Kyrie was there they win that game. But i do see Mavs are going to need a defensive answer for the 3 ball when they play big
Salute to Nick, Slightly, & Isaac for pushing through this farce of a season
I don't know if it has already been said, but: Even if they miraculously get this roster back and keep it together, and then go on to win a championship, which is already an outside shot, I don't think the Mavs fans are going to care. It's not that they want to win a championship, they wanted to win a championship with Luka. For a franchise that had Dirk, and went through all of the struggles they did with him, that one championship is the pinnacle of what perseverance and unyielding support for a player and organization can mean. Fans aspire to be that level of support, especially for an international player that made Dallas his home. Personally, I think that this situation is unrecoverable.
Luka ceiling is just so different. He could have a B roster and he could cook Memphis
Mavs fans will find out quickly that AD will drop a 40-20 game and you won’t feel anything. It won’t have impact. It won’t move the needle. How you get those 40 matters, it’s doing amazing things that inspires teammates and fans alike. AD doesn’t have that “it” factor. Sorry guys.
Weird how defense didn't win a championship this year when they were in the finals last year without it
This game was jkidds fault. You have a ball handler in Brandon Williams. He proved over the past month he should start and at the very least get most of the point guard minutes . He hustled on defense, didn’t turn the ball over and played at a great pace.
The role players were good for a stretch, especially PJ and they were winning. So Nico has the bright idea that they can live without Luka. The thing is these players can be good for a week or 2 weeks but you can’t expect them to bring it every game like a super star does. Luka’s floor is 25-8-8. Even Kyrie had nights off.
Wouldn’t hate the Locked On Luka pod- ur guy’s commentary thru this is my favorite to look forward to
Ino im gonna get flamed on chat. Whatever. But we lost now it's time to get back and see what happens in the offseason. I was a fan before Luka. I'm a fan after Luka. Hes my favorite player but this is business. Let's see what happens in the offseason. I think we're going to make some trades and we're going to make upgrades.its we we lost. Im riding! Let's see how he redeeme his self. Listen I love the Eagles too I'm from Philly. Dallas is my squad because I followed them since Jason Kidd was in California bears coming over. Howie Rosemon drafted Jalen reagor over Justin Jefferson.
I agree you should have got more for the trade I agree we should have got more for the trade.its man Let's go forward. MffL.
We might flip Ad whos knows.
The owner didn't want to lose any more Championship Game. There's a strategy: you can "not lose" by not playing. 100% effective.
It's sad that the owner and gm are court side for away games and not safe at home games.
I'm just here to check out the "defense" comments
At least this team now has an identity…
They're the new, much older, AD lead New Orleans Pelicans from the past, Mavericks. A team that went absolutely nowhere. Congrats to Nico and the Mavs!
y was grimes traded LOL
No offence, but no offence
Nico’s Ego, Tacos with Pico, Let Lukas beer go, Lakers in 5! 🔥
Not sure why Kidd didn’t start the hottest guy right now which was Brandon Williams.
Finally this nightmare is over
Guys, the defense would have been way better if kyrie was healthy, and defense wins championships. rings for the next three years!! In Nico we trust!
Not the same level of team by a mile, even if Kyrie had been there to make some things better. In time many will have to recognize how much Luka made everyone better despite the "heliocentric" setup. At this point Mavs should send Lively to LA for his own sake. Even if healthy, his offensive development will dive big time.
This game proved through and through that Luka was the culture
