Mavs Step Back Podcast

On this episode, Dalton and Matt talk about the Mavs 142-94 blowout win over the Warriors, as Luka Doncic continues to put up monster MVP-like numbers this season. The Mavs are now 9-5 on the season, and will look to go 4-0 on their current home-stand against the Cavs on Friday night. In the second half of this pod, the guys are joined by Andrew Bishop Jr., a.k.a., Six Six Drew, who is a hip-hop artist and part of the Mavs Step Back Pod family. Drew has created all the intros for the podcast, and in this episode, he talks about how he thinks Doncic is already heading to the Hall of Fame, plus gives us some insight into his new album called "Save My Soul," which features his track, "Luka Doncic." Thanks for listening!

In this "instant reaction" pod, Dalton and Matt recap the Dallas Mavericks' disheartening 106-102 loss to the New York Knicks on Friday night at American Airlines Center. Despite Luka Doncic's massive 38/14/10 triple double, there was no sugar-coating this one. It was simply a bad loss in the Mavs' eighth game of the season, and the guys believe that the issues at hand start with head coach Rick Carlisle and his inconsistent starting lineups and rotations. Come vent with us, MFFL. Thanks for listening!

Dalton and Matt start off by recapping Mavs Media Day and the opening week of training camp. There is a renewed since of hope and confidence all around this Dallas Mavericks franchise, and the guys dig in to all the reasons for that. The next topic revolves around Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis, and what those two must do statistically to be All-Stars this season. The episode wraps up with an in-depth discussion on the seemingly underrated importance of Seth Curry and Delon Wright for the Mavs this season. Curry is an elite three-point shooter, and Wright could potentially be an elite perimeter defender. The Mavs missed out on their 3-and-D target, Danny Green, this past offseason, but is it possible that they got two guys, who can do some of the same things as Green, for the price of one? All of our thought are here in Episode 38. Thanks for listening!

On this episode, Dalton and Matt start off by giving their thoughts on where ESPN ranked Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis on its NBA Top 100 list, while also raising a red flag on a few non-Mavs players in the rankings as well. Two weeks ago, the guys talked about Sports Illustrated Top 100 list as well, so they compare the two lists as a whole to try to determine which is more accurate. From there, the conversation shifts to the NBA starting to crack down teams by requiring them to get the certified height measurements (with no shoes on) and ages of all players on the roster. We're so sorry, J.J. Barea. We still love you, though.
