(16 minutes) on the players efforts toward getting real change implemented by the owners and the league to help move black lives matter efforts forward. (5 minutes) on how the postponements will affect the Mavs-Clippers series. (33 minutes) answering your basketball and non-basketball related questions.

This was a rough game to watch. The Clippers finally realized they’re bigger than us and used that to beat us into submission. Playoff P woke up, and Harrell was forced to have a good game. Tonight we looked like we were missing a 30 point per game guy. I started the pod by being candid about the players and their statements about the Blake shooting (6 minutes), Cold open (7 minutes), game talk (14 minutes), questions (18 minutes). ***at the start of the game talk portion of the cold open I said Kane Fitzgerald tossed Luka in game 1, obviously it was KP that was tossed.***

This week I reviewed a movie out of the Philippines called Watch List, and the Seth Rogen movie on HBO Max, An American Pickle. (Cold Open and mini reviews 6 minutes, reviews 20 minutes.)

On this pod you get my live reaction to the shot, a listener submission and then we get into the game. KP was a late scratch due to his sore knee and Luka played despite his ankle injury. Trey Burke, Boban, and Seth continue to be big for us. I answer some questions as well. Oh, and Playoff P still sucks. (12 minute open, 20 minutes game talk, 15 minutes on questions.)

This game ended rough with Luka Doncic being unable to finish the game. What looked like a potentially bad ankle sprain sidelined Luka and now we’ll wait to see how long. In the meantime, PG continues to struggle and Seth and Trey Burke continue to get buckets off the bench. I also decided to allow myself to get controversial by addressing the idea of “white boy” as a racial slur. (11 minute cold open, 15 minutes game talk, 17 minutes on the slur situation)

When you look at this game on paper the Mavs were far from perfect but still managed to come out with a strong victory over most people’s favorite to take the title. Burke, Boban, and Curry combined for 44. It was an all around performance from the Mavs and the Clippers will need to make some major adjustments before game 3. 10 minute cold open, 13 on the numbers, 13 on questions and announcements.

Tonight we talk about Luka dropping a playoff record (for a debut) of 42 points. The Mavs defensive gameplan being perfect, and how KP being ejected put a damper on an otherwise great night. There was a lot to love in this game for sure. I also mention my appearance on The Mr. Douglass sports show on YouTube.

This week we talk about the Netflix Blockbuster Project Power featuring Jamie Foxx, the Kevin James movie Becky, and a movie from the co-writer of Pulp Fiction called Lucky Day. In this episode I introduce “elevator reviews” to the podcast in the cold open for those who want to avoid all spoilers.

This is an open letter to Rick Carlisle about the things I’ve seen in our first 3 games vs the Clippers. Both the good and the bad. My keys to the series for Dallas.

No KP, Luka plays 13 minutes, DFS and Maxi play 10 as the Mavs rest up going into their matchup against the Clippers. Boban puts up 18 and 20 in 29 minutes. (3 minute cold open, 10 minutes on the game, last 14 answering questions.)
