In this episode we react to the Mavericks’ 125-92 loss at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs, led by a historic 40-point, 15-rebound performance by Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama. We discuss everything that went wrong for the Mavs, and why this validated our concerns about this team’s defense, playmaking, and general offense. We spend most of our time discussing the Mavs’ abysmal offense and how the team’s construction limits their ceiling on that end. We also talk about how despite possessing two vaunted shot blockers, the Mavs paint defense was nonexistent, which surrendered a whopping 68 paint points to the Spurs. We talk about why Cooper Flagg will be fine despite his lackluster 10-point NBA debut and what the Mavs coaches need to do to help him grow into the role of an NBA star.
