In this episode, Jay is joined by his girlfriend, Shaili, a Warriors fan to recap the Mavs' 126-102 loss to the Golden State Warriors. They discuss how Jimmy Butler gives the Warriors a new element they were lacking before, as well as some of the notable moments between the two franchises over the years: The 2007 "We Believe" First Round series, Harrison Barnes joining the Mavs, and mist recently, Klay Thompson signing in Dallas . They also discuss the implications of Luka Dončić being in the Pacific Division, with the Lakers and Warriors having to play 4x per year. Finally, they talk about how different NBA history would have been if Andre Iguodala had signed with the Mavericks in 2013, instead of signing with the Warriors, kickstarting their dynasty.
