Dallas Hoops Fancast - A Podcast for Dallas Mavericks Fans

We talk about the Mavericks' new starting lineup and why it works so well. We go through the entire week and discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly. Luka has returned to MVP form and the Mavs' defense is now 5th in the league! It's not all great though. COVID has hit the Mavericks pretty hard these last couple of days, and it's about to get ugly. Can they win without all these players? We then read and respond to some listener comments, play a game of Tired or Wired, and share our predictions for the coming week of games. Timestamps below!
