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.)

The Mavs gave themselves a shot to win against a desperate team but in the end there was just too much Dame and we lost the free throw contest. The Mavs filled the stat sheet but just couldn’t get enough stops. I go over the game, my thoughts, and answer some questions. (10 minute cold open, 21 minutes about the game, last 9 minutes answering questions.)

In today’s recap it’s all about the support staff as our role players stepped up to pull out this win. We saw appearances from rarely seen guys and I’ll tell you what I liked from certain guys and how it may help us going forward. (4 minute cold open, 16 minutes of talk about the game, 6 minutes where I answer a couple of questions and give some updates.)

This week I had big plans and was supposed to watch 3 movies. I ended up watching 1, and it wasn’t one of the 3 I had named. Limbo, however, was a pleasant surprise and I tell you why. Since I only had one movie to review I decided to tell you my AT@T story as well. Enjoy.
