Reese and I got into a lot of different things in the bonus content. We discussed KD and Lebron’s legacies with their decisions and how we don’t want that for Giannis. (15 minutes). We talked Big Ben Pistons, 2011 Mavs and then got into Stephen A Smith’s comments on Nash very briefly.

**Audio note** Throughout the convo you may notice Reese responding before I finish speaking. There appears to have been a slight delay in my audio on the recording. **end audio note** The conversation with Reese went almost an hour and a half but we cut it down. We spent a good bit of time talking about him being a Mavs and Saints fan despite being a Baltimore native and I got into my background as well. How I became a Mavs and Ravens fan. After that we got into the Mavs season, Patrick Beverly and being pleasantly surprised with the playoff showing. We then got into offseason moves. Who should stay, who should go. Who should we pursue in the offseason (Beal? Jrue? Oladipo?), then we start to get off track and I have to stop it mid-Giannis talk.

This week was all about heavily Oscar Nominated Directors Christopher Nolan and Charlie Kaufman. Their styles could not be more different and that is heavily reflected in these two movies. I get into the box office results for Tenet and the quick reviews in the cold open (7 minutes), then deliver the Tenet review (13 minutes,) and the Im thinking of ending things review (7 minutes) before closing with two movies that might be of interest for the coming week.

There were a ton of questions this week so instead of making an hour and a half long episode, I made the questions portion it’s own episode. There’s a lot of great stuff so I hope you enjoy.

In tonight’s episode I welcomed a special guest in the controversial @Kenny_817. A long time fan of the Mavs, Kenny and I go way back on Mavs twitter and our old school ways sometimes clash with the new fans. We address this, talk bigs like Drummond and Gobert, discuss the Dwight Powell situation, and then get into offseason plans like chasing Bradley Beal. Enjoy!

This week I first talked about the sudden passing of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman (10 minutes), (9 minutes) intro and Elevator Reviews for the 3 movies. (20 minutes) going deeper in talking about the movies.

It’s the first of two pods I recorded on my birthday. (That’s how dedicated I am to you, the people). We go through takeaways from these playoffs in our cold open (11 minutes), Game stats/talk (15 minutes), Questions (32 minutes)

(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.)
