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.
