In this episode we react to the Mavs' STATEMENT win over the Sacramento Kings 132-96, in a game that has propelled the Mavs into sole possession of 6th place in the Western Conference for the time being. We talk about the incredible shooting performance the Mavs' had as a team, converting on 22 of 39 three pointers. We also talk about the dominant defensive play from Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively, shutting down Domantas Sabonis in the paint. We also discuss the Western Conference standings and the opportunities the Mavs have to move even higher with 10 games remaining in the season.

In this episode, we discuss the recent happenings around the Mavs, most notably Kyrie Irving's incredible left-handed floater at the buzzer to beat the Denver Nuggets 107-105. We discuss what the Mavs have been doing well since our last episode, which has led the team to win five out of their last six games, a stark difference from when we last recorded. We break down the Mavs' new identity as tough interior team that can score at will in the paint thanks to Luka Dončić Kyrie Irving, Daniel Gafford, and Dereck Lively II. We also talk about concerns we have for the team going into the postseason, namely their poor shooting and Maxi Kleber's role as a key member of the closing lineup. The Mavs have 14 games remaining in the regular season, with still much to be decided in the Western Conference standings.

In this episode we discuss the recent stretch that has seen the Mavs lose five of their last six games, thanks to the worst defense in the NBA since the trade deadline. The good vibes of the Mavs' 7-game win streak from February are gone, and the team finds themselves in a similar position for the stretch run that they were in during March and April of 2023. We talk about how the abysmal defense and overall recent play from the Mavs indicates deeper issues, largely with head coach Jason Kidd. His inability to make quick adjustments, run more suitable schemes, and overall inability to have the team prepared every night, are all reasons that might warrant his firing unless the Mavs' can turn their season around.

In this episode we talk about the Mavs' 136-125 win over the Toronto Raptors which saw PJ Washington have his best game as a Maverick with 23 points in addition to another monster triple double by Luka Dončić. We dish on whether PJ Washington is capable of being a true third offensive option for the Mavs. We also discuss some of the defensive issues that have plagued the Mavs these last few games, and talk about how the Mavs can overcome them going forward, namely ways they can keep Dereck Lively and Daniel Gafford on the floor longer. Finally, we talk about how the return of Dante Exum unlocks Kyrie Irving's game even more, and gives the Mavs a much-needed third ball handler.

We also give our takes on what kind of ceiling the Mavs' newfound depth gives them.
