Dallas Hoops Fancast - A Podcast for Dallas Mavericks Fans

That. Was. Close. The Mavericks barely beat the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, but there’s still plenty to like about this team. And there are some things that could be better. We discuss the win, Luka Doncic getting MVP chants, Kristaps Porzingis’ role in the offense, Seth Curry’s free throws, and why Dorian Finney-Smith keeps getting minutes.

After starting the season 2-0, the Dallas Mavericks went 1-2 against the Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets, and Portland Trail Blazers. 

Despite two tough losses against the Lakers and Blazers, there are still a lot of things to be happy about. But there are some things that can be fixed too. In this episode of Dallas Hoops Fancast, we react to their recent loss to the Lakers and discuss the little things they can learn from.

We also look ahead to November and discuss the Mavericks’ most important games of the month.
