The Mavs Get a GUTSY Win - Mavs-Clippers Game 5
What a crazy game! We break down the Mavs' win, their crucial 3rd quarter run, and what this means for the series.
Everything Hurts and I’m Dying [Mavs-Clippers Game 3 Reactions]
The Mavs lost Game 3, which sucks. We talked about some adjustments the Clippers made that helped them win this game. We also talked about what went wrong for the Mavericks and what they need to do in Game 4. (Fair warning: If you’re a Kristaps Porzingis fan, it’s probably best to not listen to this episode. It’s not all Kristaps hate, but I do think that was a key to the loss.)
The Clippers Are All Name, No Game
It's been a while! But how can you not talk about the Mavs right now? We took a break from the pod, but we're back to share our totally biased fan reactions to what the Mavericks are doing to the Clippers right now. We talked about Luka being all kinds of a jerk to the Clippers while putting on a show for the fans. He is KILLING them. We also talked about comments from the Clippers, Clippers fans, and head coach Ty Lue. They are some arrogant dudes over there. We also got into how important Kristaps is in this series, Tim Hardaway Jr's hot shooting. We just addressed everything that everyone has been saying and broke it all down to explain what's going on and what's going to happen in Game 3.
Thanks for listening!
Mavs-Spurs Post-Game | Doubling DeRozan, the Mavs' Final Shot, Does Kristaps Deserve More Trust?
We talked about the Mavericks' loss to the Spurs, why they didn't double-team DeMar DeRozan, if they could have gotten a better shot to end the game, and whether or not Kristaps deserves more trust. He's asked for more shots, specifically in the fourth quarter, but has he earned that right? We break down the numbers to see if Kristaps shows up when his team needs him the most.
Well, That Was Not Fun - Mavs-Rockets Post-Game
Yeah, that game pretty much sucked. We talked about why. We also announced the winners of our Homage.com t-shirt giveaway! Listen to see if you won.
Mavs-Jazz Post-Game
These Mavs are legit.
Mavs-Knicks Post-Game: A gritty win; Josh Richardson was key; Are the Mavs one piece away?; Does KP only show up in meaningless games?
The Dallas Mavericks gutted out a tough win against the Knicks. A lot of things went wrong, but a lot of things went right. We talked about Josh Richardson and Jalen Brunson's key role in the win plus Kristaps' utter trash of a game. Does he only show up in meaningless games? It's a theory we discuss. We then pose the question of whether or not the Mavericks are only one piece away from contending. I know that sounds crazy, but hear us out...

Where was Kristaps in the 4th Quarter? Should we be worried about JJ Redick's comments? Why the Mavs shouldn't rest players on back-to-backs
Luka was ballin' tonight. We talk about this big game and some weird things with Kristaps, as usual. We also talk about the JJ Redick quotes about he didn't want to be traded to Dallas. Should we be worried? We then looked to the upcoming back-to-back and try to guess which one the Mavs' will rest Luka and Kristaps on, plus why we dislike that plan so much. Lots to cover, and a rant. Thanks for listening!

Pelicans Reporter Mason Ginsberg on What Mavs Fans Can Expect from JJ Redick and Nicolo Melli + What's Up With Redick's Heel and Will He Ever Actually Play?
Sydney talked to Pelicans Mason Ginsberg and got the scoop on what JJ Redick is like at this point in his career and if Mavs fans should be worried about his age and his heel injury. We also talked about some ways Nicolo Melli might surprise Mavs fans. It's a good interview all around with some interesting nuggets.

Dr. Raj from 3CB Performance joins the show to talk about Kristaps Porzingis' knee injuries and how it's affecting him on offense and defense. I know no one wants to hear about KP's injuries anymore, but Dr. Raj explains some really important details about these injuries that reflect issues we're seeing on the court. We also talk about when we can expect KP to actually be himself again. In this episode, we talk about the Mavericks' improved offense, some adjustments Rick Carlisle has made, and the first results for NBA All-Star voting.

What Makes Luka Doncic Such a Good Scorer? In-Depth Breakdown with Noah from TheNBAUnderground.com
Sydney had on Noah from thenbaunderground.com to do a deep dive into how Luka scores so efficiently. This one is pretty in-depth, so get your thinking caps on.
We talked about

- How he uses his weight and his ankles (yeah, we talked about his ankles)
- How Luka can improve his 3PT%
