Mad Max!
Another level will get them 35 wins?
Don't care much about the schedule, just please beat LAL!
AD trade value 📈 👏
Lol is it me or does Slightly throw in sum thunder glaze in every show? It’s like he has a quota to meet. Show was abt to end n he randomly brings up Shai’s odds to win finals MVP
What's that theme song?; it's awesome!! Hits!!
Another level? Alpy got hurt 1 minute in. Tragic win
Will ya'll the Mavericks trade AD to a contender or make the playoffs💯
Max is our Kon knueppel but with defense
Msvs must keep this team together . Dont trade anyone.
Lets build team around Max 🐐🐐🐐
💙💙💙💙💙 love my mavericks
As a Luka fan, I hate to say it, but with the miracle of getting Cooper Flagg, and with the growth of Max Christie, I think the following is actually possible:
If, and it’s a BIG if:
– Kyrie comes back as good as ever by mid-March
– AD is healthy and available for the playoffs (regular season not important, as long as they make the playoffs)
– Gaff is fully healthy
– there are no further injury issues
then we are looking at a totally different situation. Mavs could be DANGEROUS!
Just make the playoffs guys, and pray for AD to stay healthy!
Lakers fans are crying right now on lakers videos and Reddit because Pelinka gave up Max in the Luka trade and they just saw what he did tonight against the rockets 😂. most greedy entitled fanbase in the league
1-2 punch with max and coop. I hope max christie gets more touches, learn to drive and get fouls.
is it just me or does it seem like they would rather the Mavs lose as long as Cooper has a good game…they seem almost sad they won because Cooper is struggling….and real basketball heads know Christie and a healthy AD are worth more than Luca any day of the week…idol worshippers!
they won because the Allstar on the other team got hurt after 1 minute😂 another level 😂
What do you mean AD and kyrie can't make a run together….yall disrespecting now…kyrie always plays good coming from injury…plus we dont need to bee a 500 team to be in the play in tournament…
The last time i checked we around the play in tournament and the 6th seed with luka and kyrie especially when we went to the finals
When you don't have faith in your team you preaching tank and you got a fake fan as co host tht really an OKC fan. It hard to take you seriously
There you go putting your team down you are trash
Well Kyrie is not back yet oh now the OKC fan chimes in you guys are trash
Looking for another channel now.
I hope ad gets traded away the Dallas fan base is trash 🗑️ leave them with nothing
You know, Nick, you are the only trick I don’t know about other listeners to your show, but I am so tired of your tricks you hate of Anthony Davis and the Mavericks have warned me down
As a maverick fan why would you like these two clowns always talking trade can’t handle a little pressure these guys are jokes go and play 2k and make your wish list smh 😂😂😂😂😂😂
No matter what, locked on wants to trade AD for expiring contracts. Even Nico wasn't that stupid.
Championship material with Kyrie. defense it was what wins it but Kyrie AD and Cooper can out score anyone.
We played 76ers better than the Knicks did.
If Max attacks the basket like today. Sky is the limit
In a perfect world we could keep everyone. Plus get a lottery pick.
You know who would work perfectly with Luka in LA? AD and Christie. Literally the exact pieces he needs.
So would you take Flagg, Christie, AD and a First in 29 for Luka and Maxi? If you say yes you owe Nico an apology. Just saying. No good free agents ever wanted to go to the Mavs when we had Dirk and that changed once Nico joined.
anybody else got a nick apple card ad????
Coops tired the amount of games Is catching up to him but he will get his 2nd wind and when Kyrie comes back to take offensive pressure off him he’ll be better going down in the pecking order. AND YES!!! summer focus for coop is the 3 ball 100%!!!!!
Slightly Jesus?
Man ever since the trade all of you Mavs fans been so toxic.
I suspect coop is still dealing with a left shoulder issue. Taken several fouls on that shoulder and the other night he was in visible discomfort after a foul. His finishes with the left, (which he seems to be a more goto shot) are off since….but if this is the rookie wall, he is still a significant contributer
9-9 with AD and without Kyrie. Max is turning into Mamba Jr. Cooper is ahead of schedule so could be an All-Star next year. You still want to push trading AD for scraps before you see how good the team can be? Did the Jazz have to trade Lauri to be bad? There's other ways. Also, maybe analyze where the breakout guys Tyrese Maxey and Keyonte George were drafted.
Every so often a role player has a big game. Every so often the Mavs are Contenders.
Y'all gotta turn that annoying intro music down, it lasts way too long
Still most entertaining locked on channel by far. Keep it up boys
Love Max..he can have an SGA type of game…he needs to watch OKC and see how SGA dominates in the mid range and 3 point shooting
Finally not 100% Flagg . Was getting impossible.
Hopefully this game will help get some value for that loser AD. Trade him ASAP.
