Will and Jaren talk about an insane and when I mean insane, I mean insane 60 point triple double by Luka Doncic as the Mavericks have a crazy 9 pt comeback win with 27 seconds left in regulation as they were able to tie it up via a Luka putback for a 126-121 overtime victory in what was likely the best game of the year for the Mavericks and the best single game individual performance in Mavericks history from Luka Doncic.  

In their first YouTube episode, Jaren and Will take a step back and make up for some missed pods by analyzing overarching themes one can pull from the Mavericks season thus far through 34 games such as the Mavericks recent injury riddled 5-5 10 game stretch, Christian Wood's future on this team, some trade target teams the Mavs could negotiate with, the archetype of player this Mavericks team needs, the Mavericks feasibility to pull off a trade with limited assets, the next 10 game stretch for the Mavs as well as how essential the ensuing stretch till all-star break is and much more!

After an extremely long hiatus that Will and Jaren cite their reasons for in the introduction of the podcast, they get into the Mavericks 124-115 victory over the Lakers on Christmas Day, how the Mavericks LITERALLY lived and died by the 3 and Christian Wood and Luka Doncic's 30+ point performances. They then dip into news that dropped during the podcast such as Luka Doncic winning player of the week in the Western Conference, AJ Lawson being signed to a 2-way deal for the Mavericks and the Mavericks subsequently letting go of 2-way player Tyler Dorsey as well as the revealing of the beautiful Dirk statue that the Mavericks unveiled on Victory Plaza at American Airlines Center on Christmas Day!

In a solo rendition, Will goes over the volatility of how the Mavericks played versus the Thunder and how they need to improve vastly on that front, while also recognizing the importance of a win at this juncture in the season where the Mavericks were on a 2 game skid coming into this game. He talks about the greatness of Luka Doncic and SGA as well and their ability to manipulate the defense respectively as well as how each team's role players fared in this one. Lastly, he looks ahead to the Mavericks matchup versus the Cavs and how the Mavericks are going to have a tough time countering the dynamism that persists in the Cavs front-court and back-court.

Jaren goes into depth into 2 rough losses for the Mavericks over the Bucks and Bulls respectively and the Mavs flaws in each of them, as the first one saw the Mavericks fumble the bag in the closing minutes and the second loss versus the Bulls seeing the short-handed Mavericks struggle mightily defensively en route to a 30 point blowout.

The Mavericks edge out a game in yet another clutch time scenario and Will and Jaren dissect THJ being "back", the Mavericks offensive and defensive tactics versus this Nuggets team, Luka's triple double, Dorian Finney-Smith's insane game capped off but the go ahead 3, some trade talk, what this win means for the Mavericks despite their adverse circumstances and it being an ugly game, and much more!

Will and Jaren get into an insane positive regression shooting game from the Mavericks who went 24-61 on 3P en route to a guns blazing second half in which they spoiled Jalen Brunson's first game back versus his former team as well as unsung Tim Hardaway Jr. shooting lights out on 8-13 3 point shooting. Is Tim back? Can the Mavs sustain this shooting and was the beginning of the season just a rough start? They answer that and much more on today's podcast.
