Great energy win. Kyrie real rusty with a bad shooting game but he help lock up James Harden which is always a good factor to have from your star player other than his offense. Gafford and Lively played better tonight than the last game. Glad to see Gafford get more minutes in the 4th to finish this off. Klay playing good rn(had 4stls in this one) and Grimes went off in this one. Naji looking better. Great to be able to rest Luka without panicking about not competing to win in such games. Hopefully he comes back soon and more healthy so he can continue to build continuity with Klay. Great bounceback win by the Mavs.
I think Kidd deserves a little more credit for the player acquisitions... sure Nico is the GM signing guys and making the trades, but Kidd is the guy who has made it work so Nico can look like a genius... plus, I imagine that Kidd has quite a bit of input regarding which players the Mavs will go after.
loving the bounce back from gafford and lively the most. In a matter of one game they went from disappointing to outstanding, it shows their grit as well as confirms they can both turn it on to be elite. You asked what could take the mavs' defense to the next level, im now fully convinced it lies in the bigs maintaining their strong presence and altering shots
The Mavs seriously need to improve the perimeter defense. That's where the team struggles. They don't want to keep putting pressure on the bigs to bail them out. Won't work in the playoffs.
Kyrie didn’t shoot well, but his presence and his gravity definitely made a difference, which led to 8 Mavs players in double figures. He also step up big on defense against Harden. Solid team win!
It doesnt matter the price... MONEY IS NOT A FACTOR!! We gotta keep Gaff/PJ/Lively/Kyrie in Mavs jerseys until they retire. IM NOT PLAYING WITH YOU NEW OWNERSHIP DONT MESS THIS UP! RIDE THIS TRAIN TILL THE WHEELS FALL OFF
Good win! I also think that Maxi played great except with his offense. If the Mavs decide to trade before the trade deadline it should be a backup forward. My best choice would be Larry Nance Jr or DFS (without sacrificing a first round pick)
Imagine being such an amazing team And then having modern day Kobe/Pierce (Luka) to throw in I love ❤️ the Mavericks They gotta do everything to Pay/Keep Lively/Gafford/PJ
Maxi had a couple good defensive plays, and seemed ready to shoot rhat one. Isaac way to harsh on Gafford being micd up. There was plenty of him yelling out defensive calls
Bossman,don't ever underestimate what Klay T can do,aways remember, he plays as the coach directs,he plays as the game comes to him based on his experience. Go Mavs❤!!!
I want DLive to look to shoot first when in the paint. He gave up 2 good easy scoring opportunities kicking it out… granted, it turned into assists for converted 3s…but still!
think I came to a point where I can accept the intro music. it’s not bad but it’s obviously not the old one. but honestly Nick, we need something extra to let it ride
From Europe, Estonia : great TEAM WIN as 8 (!!!) players where in double figures. About Kyrie poor shooting : it took from Clippers enormous effort defending Ky, helping from others on him or throwing on him (and occasionally on Clay) doubles . If Ky would of not took the leader responsibility so seriously and tried to get himself going after pause and passed the ball around, it would of been even worse slaughterhouse for LA. Im not sayn Ky did anything wrong and it took heck of energy limiting Harden, cudos for that to him. Thompson took exactly what Clippers offered for him, did not force anything in the way he has done in some previous games ( i understand, he is still figuring things 100% out ) and hes statline in this game ended being exactly the nr-s I expected him having here when the signing was made. What this game showed about Zubac, he is vulnerable - a) with aggressivety in offence and right positioning against him from our bigs b) team def work and cooperation playn against him. And again - officiating, looking from Europe, compared to officiating for example to Euroleague, was in certain episodes pure joke and not in a good way - for example def fouls against Gafford , Ky and Winwiddie ( won challenge ) where just laughable, especially compared how LA is playn def with sticky hands 48 min all around. In another episode u guys asked, what is wrong with NBA. My top 1, 2 and 3 are - OFFICIATING. It is NOT CONSTANT. It is NOT THE SAME line for EVERYBODY. It is literally a joke. Has been a long long time. And it should not be for the league who takes itself seriously. God knows, that im not. Have not for a long lon time. Thank u guys for the effort covering Mavs in this 24 y and sure thing will be sticking around in 25 ✌✌🤝🤝. Merry Christmas and Happy New Y to everybody , especially to Racoon Squad! 😎😎
Context. While Lue had some truth to what he said. He did say that after beating the luka less mavs and the mavericks having their worst offensive game of the season. Grain of salt.
Where are the immediate post game podcast videos available? The guy with the radio voice who sounds classic? I listen on Apple Podcasts, but is there not video and not loaded on RUclips?
I feel like, they set up Lively to one day in the future to do a step from the top of the key in the direction of the basket to collapse the enemy defense and then pass out to 2 or 3 wide open shooters. 😅
No Isaac, no. Mavs relying on "IF" Maxi can be that stretch 5 and shoot the 3 is just dumb. Maxi is a shell of his former self and can't be relied on. They need to upgrade that position by the deadline
It feels like Luka is slowly becoming Maxi. Luka has already missed a quarter of the season and it’s barely started. I hope this isn’t becoming a trend with his missing games.
Mavs 12-4 in games Kleber plays, 4-0 in games he plays 20 minutes or more. It’s the intangibles that matter in basketball. That’s 6-6 in games he didn’t play. All this in a season where he’s 9-30 from the field, 2-11 from three. Kleber knows how to pull it out and finish lol……he’s a career 35% from 3. I’m not worried about him. He is what he is. No trade at the deadline would be justifiable. He will play his 15 minutes a game behind PJ and we will be just fine.
@ yes. Him being on the court makes his teammates wanna do better. They would’ve lost again if he didn’t play. He didn’t have a good game but him being on the court was what they needed.
“Pull it out and finish” - Issac Harris
"Pause" 😂 No Diddy 😂
Need a time stamp 😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gafford who also, just as lively, bounced back from the previous game and gave really good minutes.

You could put the ultimate team together... and the coach RUIN it... Ask Kyrie, Kevin, and James....
@@ashtonalexander2431eh I mean that was mostly injuries but fair
Very true. Kidd did convince Nico to sign Javale McGee to 3years
@mr I was just about to say that lol

INSANE depth would have been to win without Kyrie and Luka in the first game.

Spencer been surprising me with his passing. Ngl.
@@beastscale1892he now has that luka-like inbetween game
Wow. The Luka hater trying to justify his favorite players terrible game.
If Luka played like Kyrie did last night you would have been all over him.
Klay has really started playing well
Yep!

Laughed out loud after “pull out and finish”
Maxi had a couple good defensive plays, and seemed ready to shoot rhat one. Isaac way to harsh on Gafford being micd up. There was plenty of him yelling out defensive calls
Mavs overall PACE this season is 100.93. It’s 101.75 when Luka is on the floor.
My favorite "D"allas mavericks came back. Their defense was so good tonighy
Bossman,don't ever underestimate what Klay T can do,aways remember, he plays as the coach directs,he plays as the game comes to him based on his experience. Go Mavs❤!!!
I want DLive to look to shoot first when in the paint. He gave up 2 good easy scoring opportunities kicking it out… granted, it turned into assists for converted 3s…but still!
Kinda felt the same, but they did go down. Either way would have kept the spark going
Nick Angstadt was never to be seen after that podcast
My opinion is that we may be great in the regular season without luka... but we need him in the playoffs and finals
The Luka as he exists now? That's debatable. Luka has to move the ball, get in shape and play faster.
@@pfunk42say the same when we face boston, Cleveland, okc, Memphis
Just having Luka or Kai playing seems to lift the teams spirit.
Y'all should listen to what they had to say about Luka on NBATV. It's almost like they haven't watched a game since last year
I understand Isaac’s argument for Maxi needing to be stretch 5 but the counter to that is Naji and PJ at the 4 and 5
Yes but Maxi is 6'10. The height makes a big difference
Maxi stretches nothing right now, would rather see Dwight chucking 3s
think I came to a point where I can accept the intro music. it’s not bad but it’s obviously not the old one. but honestly Nick, we need something extra to let it ride

This show is good for a reason 😂👍
Honestly pretty good 2 games against the clippers. The Zubac destroyed our bigs in the first. Tip the cap. Nice game tonight. 🦝✌🏼📤
Congrats on the hype squad!
Zubac has a lot of energy when Luka is not around 😂 Luka used to drain him whenever a switched happens
Interesting how Lively's box scores were pretty similar in the two games but the actual performances were night and day.
Idk man😂 now that Issac is back in kinda miss slightly biased 😂😂😂😂
Agreed. Slightly has more spin on the ball than Issac.

Maxi being a “stretch 5” does not help because he is scarred to shoot it! Every team knows it now
No One is Dying ❤mffl!!!

All Rebounds Matter - put it on a tshirt
What went down at concessions, Nick?😳
🎵 HOW DEEP IS YOUR LO.. BENCH 🎵
The mavs centers really made up from the previous game where they basically got punked
🦝🦝
Kyrie presence won them this game.
Seriously?
@ yes. Him being on the court makes his teammates wanna do better. They would’ve lost again if he didn’t play. He didn’t have a good game but him being on the court was what they needed.
PJ’s team.
Issac playoff maxi cannot stretch anything if he want shoot and his defense is horrible
Kyrie was trash
And that game isn't won without him
