Night or or Saturday night but then there might be some changes coming up man there might be some changes coming up I can’t reveal too much uh a little too personal but there might be some changes and if there is um I’ll I’ll let everybody know what the schedule would
Be moving forward but uh but yeah man uh so real before we get started on just discussing things talking Maverick things um what is one thing on the top of your mind as far as what has happened or transpired this week whether it’s a narrative whether it’s someone’s hot
Take what is what is something that uh you would like to clear up right if you were you were a casual and say you didn’t like this narrative about the Mavericks or you or something positive it could be whatever you want to talk about man what is the one pressing thing
That uh that is that is on your mind for the Mavericks this week uh I just want to talk about the fact I’m enjoying uh Draymond Green calling out Grant Williams man I think I like that part man uh really you know still had some some I
Know quote unquote mad fans who for some odd reason revisionist history is crazy you know it’s like they they forgot how trash this dude was he’s on the team and now it’s like oh we should have kept Grant Williams like really nobody remember the zeros the multiple games of
Zeros you know and it’s just like that’s the part that get me about some of these fans man it’s like it’s so reactionary to everything like how you going on a seven game winning streak looking dominant bro and we still we’re still harping on a guy who was giving us
Zeros that makes absolutely no sense to me man but you know it is what it is um also too man I know King’s always been telling me man just kind of waiting your turn to come type thing and I’m one of those people man like I see the the
National media starting to kind of sway now with the m and also with uh Luca and the whole MVP talk you know I that’s fine but it’s like I I feel like man with the national media they react with their feelings instead of with facts yeah and that’s the most frustrating
Thing ever and this is like bro like look man like what do you see on on the TV like or or in person or whatever like what do you see like break that down you know with the analytics or the stats or or whatever or just in general in
Basketball like how like what do you see let the folks know what you see and a lot of them are conversating and commenting on things that they don’t not they do not see yeah like you know like the fact that Luka don’t play defense like how many games have you watched
Obviously you’re not watching any games because with the ey test and with the analytical numbers he’s playing defense like that’s a fact that’s not your feelings that’s a fact and so when you got these guys who in the in the in the National media who judge everything
Off of feelings for for example you know this for a fact you even covered this before the fact that Stephen A has a grudge against Kyrie so that’s going to sway his opinion in a certain way against theer yep so that’s and that and I feel like man with that that also
Hurts people’s pockets I brought this up before because you know you get an MVP or you get a a six-man or you get a all NBA vote that stuff can determine if a person gets you know 30 40 50 million or whatever under this contract or whatever
Like like that type of stuff matters and when you’re not doing your due diligence you’re affecting somebody’s livelihood when you do that and they don’t care about that they put their feelings into their opinions instead of just looking at the obvious facts you know and and and to to add uh
Add another layer of context to that I think um I think what some people don’t recognize right like and and I I felt victim to this as a as a young young uh fan of of sports right you you you go to ESPN because you trusted them because
They were the worldwide leader in sports right and and you give them the benefit of the doubt we we’ve given ESPN the benefit of the doubt and and the majority of national media we’ve given them the benefit of the doubt and now as you know you learn the game over what
I’ve been playing since I was like what 11 10 um not saying I’m NBA or anything like that but I’ve seen enough to feel like I’m pretty comfortable with how I feel about the game and sometimes you you watch some of these things that are being said and it’s just like I think
They’re doing a disservice to to everyone in general when everything’s narrative driven right um and and and when it it is so refreshing to hear someone like Tim legler uh break down the game the way he does and I know right now yeah the Mavericks right we’re
All happy because we finally get some uh some national media uh you know backing but what he’s saying is that things that we’ve been talking about you know yep and it is really refreshing to hear that cuz one it makes us feel a little bit validated one but two it’s like no like
I I would actually like to he and and if you listen to Tim leger’s entire podcast not only does he break down the Mavericks like the way we talk about him he breaks down every single other team that way he watches and and and if he
Doesn’t and if he misses out on things he’s quick to to acknowledge like dang I missed it I’ll go back and watch watch right so to your point man I’m just saying like I wish uh the entire National media was just better um because for for us like for the majority
Of us that are in these uh content creator spaces like we talk mths uh in the chat there or here or anybody else’s right we’re one of those we we’re like the the select few that are sickos when it comes to this stuff right we want to
Hear yeah we want to hear you break down the sport you know and um when you hear someone like Stephen A maybe he’s is so big now so busy that he can’t give that and he he results to narrative driven uh analytics and it’s just it don’t work
Anymore you know what I’m saying you know you know what’s funny tjk yeah I know Kee talk about this all the time and I’ve heard other people say this too I think my pop even said this it’s like sports coverage has turned into an basic mean it’s already an entertainment
In it own in itself right but now the coverage is started becom entertainment too it’s like you got personalities now that’s covering these teams it’s not like how it used to like you said growing up man watching ESPN we used to rush home from school to watch ESPN know
We had ESPN news my TV stayed on ESPN news stay bro stayed until Sports Center came on at like six o’clock that evening bro my TV stayed on ESPN news right yeah I wake up listening to watching sports center you know come home from school ESPN news then you watching sports CER
Again as tick or whatever right like you stayed on it because it was it was informative and I remember um I think JJ reck was saying like was asking the question of do people want to be informed and I’m just like yes we want to be informed this is why you hear so
Many people criticizing ESPN and Fox Sports and all that stuff it’s the the thing is you’re not being informative like I said when you’re giving your opinion you’re doing it based off your feelings like we talked about JJ Reddit going off on Doc Rivers a lot of your
Feelings were in that opinion yeah when we hear um Stephen A going off on Kyrie you’re putting your feelings into that yeah you know or Kendry Perkins you’re putting your feelings into stuff because it’s like made career off of you made a career off of thank you putting his
Feelings into whatever he felt with for LeBron or whatever that’s not what you’re supposed to do because you got so many people out here are misinformed that they’re not going to do their own homework they’re going to go based off of what they hear so that’s why I say
Man it’s very it’s very irresponsible for these people to be doing that man but then like I was telling keing we had the members only the other day man those are the same people that get mad like JJ R made that comment about oh people are attacking the people who are saying the
Things like yeah they’re attacking you because you’re constantly saying these nonsensical things yep that’s why they attack you not you just say one thing and they attacking you you you but constantly getting this from esbn if he was getting tired of it and also like they they um you know it’s just it’s
Because they have such a massive influence um you can you create I mean they created these toxic uh environments for people like instead of appreciating a player like Kobe or Lebron we we’ve we fell for the Trap honestly we fell for the Trap where we
Had to pick a side and hate on them you know like it it just it doesn’t it I mean when I was younger I didn’t know the difference as a older man now I’m just like this isn’t this isn’t the way to build a sport in general and and I
Feel like it’s it’s more heavily driven like that with the NBA because all the players you could see them you know yeah and and I think that I think they create a space to where it makes people like on Twitter and everywhere else it makes it tox more toxic environments to where
It’s always a Counterpoint for a Counterpoint on something that they if they just listened it was it was already counterpointed to to make your counter Point look legit but you just want to counter argue just a counter argue because everyone else on any other site television show they counter each other
For the sake of countering each other like bro y’all are saying the same things y’all are just countering because it doesn’t sound exact same um but yeah man I I just lazy takk lazy takes too like they don’t want to do their own homework bro y like I it go to use the
Timler uh example again like you just said a minute ago it’s not I told ke this it’s not just the fact that Tim legler agrees with what we’re saying about the uh the marcks it’s not that it’s the fact that listen he admitted he was wrong when uh
JJ R called him out about the whole Luca defense thing he admitted he was wrong and he started paying attention and watching so that’s why whenever you hear him say have his takes on the Mavericks you like damn he spot on why is that because he actually watching the game
Yeah that’s your job is to watch it and assess it and give your opinion on the game and a lot of these people don’t do that so that’s why I say man like it it’s very dangerous bro when you play because you playing with people especially nowadays when a lot of
People’s bonuses and and super uh Maxes and all that stuff are tied to what the narrative is nowadays which is not fair but we’ve seen so many players you know get shorted on money because of what a narrative was was uh was saying right you know what I’m saying so I don’t know
Man I just I like I said man I want the Mavericks to just keep doing what they’re doing ignore the outside noise focus on what you’re doing because they they heading in the right direction we already see that yeah you know we we already see these the additions that
They made them making an immediate impact we saw what D was doing before the trade it was already starting to pick it up starting to get healthy we saw Kyrie finally healthy and finally getting into a rhythm Lucas looking like God mode out here you know so I just
Want them to focus on that man ignore the noise and let the chips follow what they make if Luka wins the MVP man I’ll be happy for him but you know let’s just focus on let’s get the let’s focus on the the bigger goal let’s get that ring
Man facts facts you know um G Gina just commented this uh right here it’s a great Point she says ESPN creates narratives and it’s sad and they have voters like Stephen A Smith and Perkins who could sway some of the media which is wrong then they don’t take accountability when they’re wrong nope
In addition to this in addition to this Stephen A has been kind of pushing the the Jason Tatum uh for MVP narrative and his his main argument is the best player on the best team and and while while it’s cool I don’t mind it like if you’re
You’re for Jason Tatum I think he’s a great player but if that if that was the criteria I would not argue it like that’s the criteria but if you’re saying that’s the criteria then we should look at who you voted for the last couple of season seasons and over the last like
Since he got his vote he has never voted for the best player on the best team and it’s like one can you call yourself out for that hey I know I’ve never voted for the best player on the best team but it seems like this year it makes the most
Sense to do it right like that’d be that’d be different like all right cool I get you whatever but but why suddenly when you got other MVP candidates uh that that meet the criteria that previous ones have met like yic and Westbrook and then now embiid where you
Ask for the MVP and they’ll give it to you it’s never been about the best player on the best team I I don’t remember the last time that was the case and um that’s that’s the most laziest reasoning right there tjk like oh [ __ ] play the best team like you’re not gonna
Try to do your homework or anything that mean you didn’t watch any other the games you just want to make a quick vote so you can go on with your day yeah and so that’s lazy bro I’m like damn so um so when so if say I I could only imagine
If Luca was on that the best player on the Celtics as the best team would he still say that you know like I I I I ponder that and uh you know it takes me to this point right here I want to show you this I don’t know if you got this to
Check this out but Tim legler again the great Tim legler uh broke down his MVP uh for for luga Donis and he did such a great job breaking this down check it out because I I’ve always hated the MVP discussion especially the October November MVP discussion it seems like it
Starts up November first and we’re doing all this stuff um but I think that now is when it becomes interesting right now is when you can start to really say like okay it doesn’t feel like a hot take it doesn’t feel too early we can start to
Look at it and Luca I’ve been hesitant to put him here not because he hasn’t been having a great season but just because again historical precedent about seeding and everything else I do feel like you need to have some kind of guide rails or I should say principles they’re
Not necessarily rules hard set rules you have to be a top three seed I think that’s silly but I do think that there are these principles that hey if a player is a seven eight N Seed you have to ask how much of an impactor they
Making and how do we are we sure we can quantify that but now that they’re on a seven game win streak in the six seed a game out of the five seed four games out of the four seed and with the way he’s playing to your point he looks Slimmer
Than ever he looks confident step back looks better than ever um his defense looks better than ever I’m looking at it now and going The Usual Suspects joic Shay now at the top Tatum those guys all have a case as well Luca if we just put
In a vacuum and forget the context of the record is right there or even above them and now the record’s getting up there to where that’s becoming less of an issue so what do you think of Luca’s chance here to to take the MVP and before Tim uh uh shares his thoughts R
Do you know the the the gentleman to the left of of legler uh no he is from if I remember correctly I correct me in the chat he is a Suns fan he’s a Suns fan bro and and the fact that you have someone like that the way he just broke
It down talking about you know you want to have guidelines or principles and this and that I totally agree with that he’s like oh being the top three SE is kind of silly like you know whatever the case may be and talking about how the stats of Luca looks like and then now
You know pairing it with the the record and they’re six seed and they’re one game out of Fifth and however however many many games out of a top four SE like that that’s the context that I be wanting from from everyone right and it’s like um you always hear me say my
Favorite word what you just say what was that c word context you always heard me say that bro I’ve been saying it for years it’s always about context and I’m glad he said that bro put it into context a lot of people don’t do it they don’t look at things on the
Surface yeah and and and leading up to that question like I I thought he did a great job you know uh breaking down even Lucas MVP candidacy without even saying he should be the candidate right the the the the ongoing favor but uh here goes Tim legler sharing his
Thoughts if my internet loes up I actually going to put him as the favorite for me now and it’s because of based on my belief of what Dallas is going to do the rest of the year and and you’re 100% right look president been set by the way it’s not it’s not common
But if I recall was Oklahoma City like a six seed when Westbrook won that award when he Aver a triple double I think they were six seed that year and he he won it because I mean you know Durant had left them he was there by himself he avered a
Triple double and and he you know I think they won if I recall I think they were like 45 and 37 that or maybe it’s 47 to 35 there’s something like that and they were like a six seed and he won the MVP so it’s not
Common typically you do need to be up there like near the top three I wasn’t sure earli despite the numbers Luke was putting up were they going to get to the number of wins to put him in the discussion and I think now there’s a good chance they will I mean listen one
Thing to do have they have played six more home games than Road games so schedule wise they’re about to go on a four game trip right now now but they weren’t playing like this when they went on a four game trip earlier in the year this is man this internet Tripp different
There go so they they’ve played 56 games they’ve got 26 games left you you go 20 and six let’s just thr throw that out there like something like that you’re at 50 you’re at 53 wins you’re probably at that point gonna be pushing up onto the
Three and four seed um you’re not I don’t think you’re ultimately going to get up there in one and two but you’ll probably you got a shot at like four if you’re top four and this is what everybody pay attention to what Luka donic is doing right now because because
I I didn’t know I had the researcher look it up because I knew it was up there you heard that real he had the research and look it up yeah yeah had the research and look it up all right let’s see what he’s about to say that’s just crazy and this is
Actual assisted field goals this isn’t like okay he’s averaging 11 assist a game so that’s just uh round off a number no this is actual points that he’s gotten on assists combined with his scoring It’s a combination it’s 57.4 points per game direct offense from Luca scoring or assisting and guess what
That is the most by any player in the history of this league in one season no player has ever done it tiny archal had the record in the early 70s when he led the league in scoring an assist now a three-point shot wasn’t there so that
You know maybe he would have been higher but he’s not bottom line is Luca is playing in modern basketball but that’s the extent to which he is dominating right now he is basically responsible for half of the points they score every night you heard that imag imagine being responsible for
Half of the of your team’s points man and that’s that’s why uh I know King always talks about this man we talk about best player in the league right yeah when people start talking about like a Tatum and all those guys like that what Le just said with him
Generating the points that he generates playmaking is goes into that too it’s not just about scoring matter of fact tayum went was it one for 10 no he went 0 for 10 with one point earlier in the game today he was a thirdly score for the Boston Celtics tonight against the New York
Knicks with with 19 points we’ve seen too many games where where Tatum has done that where all all they’re asking Tatum to do I said this the other day man on the show what people are asking T to do for that for that team is just
Pretty much just score ubr are are heavy lifted with the scoring you got guys on your team that can facilitate for you you got guys on that team that can rebound for you you know what I’m saying you got other guys around you that help you with the defense you’re not like
That’s another thing too about Tatum he’s a he’s an overrated Defender I’m not saying he’s a bad Defender but he’s an overrated Defender they talk as if like he is this lock down Defender bro it’s not true so pretty much I said this before bro he’s a more he’s a more officient Carmelo
Anthony you add a little bit of Defense in there he’s a more efficient Carmelo you know saying like carella wasn’t asked to facilitate he wasn’t a super duper great rebounder because guess what luuka averages more rebounds than Tatum yep so that’s why I say like when people
Start just because he has the best record in the league it’s like but you could take Tatum off their team how much are they struggling we know if you take Luke out the Mavericks it’s a rep we know that so that’s why like I said context TDK is
Always about context bro and that’s why I like because with these numbers that like legs have been throwing out here over the last few days it adds to what we also see on the court which helped shape the context of what we’re trying to get people to see out here man and so
Like I said appreciate him man for doing that man and I the fact that too that you know legs has a voice so with him saying that people are going to listen and it’s like he’s the first one who kind of started that train and now a lot
More people started to kind of jump on board of that right so y thank you legs man we’ve been asking for this we’ve been asking for somebody beat the voice I know King always say he it should have been Tim McMahon we already know that’s not the case Tim McMahon doesn’t give a
Damn about nobody man he just he just wants to be that he needs narratives man yeah so it should have been him man he could have been Lucas’s guy I guess he refused to do that but anyway so yeah man I look I know just not not me from just
Being a MK fan bro it’s just me basketball wise like Luca is the MVP bro he should have been the MVP a couple years ago the year went to the West Conference final he need to be the MVP this year if you looking at the context of things y it’s not like he’s
Completely out like like leg say not like he’s completely far away from the 4S yep we we’re steady winning games we’re up there now so yeah I I I would uh I would add that um you know in regards to like you know Tim legler like I I just how would I put
It it’s you know it personally as a fan like I think it’s cool that we get to hear that now on on ESPN and the fact that he put his top four as like contenders for the championship that’s even like higher praise but my biggest thing is like you
Know not not to personalize it but when when you do these shows like this and I’m speaking for every other show there’s going to be a lot of backlash on the takes that you do have because they might not match up with what the ESPN narratives are right because there’s
People out there that don’t know enough that kind of lean into what ESPN is saying so then when they see what you’re saying they’re like what the hell you talking about you know like you don’t you’re not making any sense so for me personally speaking like uh my thing is always about
Being as uh as on top of the of of what my takes are or even my opinions and always try to base it on what what is right you know what I’m saying not what is right for me but what I think is right for the team and seeing
Someone like Tim legler who does have the background who has played in the league and who has a very very respected opinion you for the most part you look at him and there’s not many times I’ve ever been like man what he said just pissed me off because he’s so wrong
Right he’s right most of the time and I just felt like what he said what he’s done this week has validated all of you know all of mass fans one cuz you look at the chat for from for the majority of everybody’s show everyone in the chat everybody they all have that same
Mindset like no we need we need bigs we need like everyone knows exactly what we needed including us and it’s just it it validates our takes and and invalidates our basketball mind so uh I look at it from from that perspective as well it’s just you know celebrating that we know
Our stuff you know but but it is also very refreshing to hear that um couple things PK I’m probably have to get ready to go I my wife wonder where I’m at uh so a couple things to kind of peek it back on what you said this I told King
This before this is why I find channels like this this is why I find you know Dean and freezy them guys you know the lake of Fast Break guys Empire Jeff all those guys that’s why I follow those channels Y and the re you know because
We know for a fact like you just said casual people are going to you know flock to the ESPN because they’re ESPN they’re the worldwi LE Sport so they supposed to know what they’re talking about so like you were saying if they throw an opinion out there then you
Throw an opinion out there and it doesn’t line up with theirs then you look like the crazy one like you don’t know what you’re talking about how can you go against this this entity that’s supposed to be fixated on on on Sports worldwide and so that’s why I say man I
Don’t I’ve stopped watching ESPN and Fox Sports and all that and I find channels like this to get because I know they’re not tainted by and I know like you said they’re they strictly focus on this specific like we focus on the Mavericks or like Freez focus on Nicks like I follow those
Channels because I know that they took the time to do the due diligence man and learn about these teams and know the ins and outs about these teams because there A lot of times I would listen to something on ESPN like for example uh Trey young you know rumor he want to get
Traded okay well let me go till we talk Hawks and let me see what they talk about because I I trust I trust dear’s opinion enough yeah to to to to you know agree you know see what whatever he says I believe it and he’s one of those kind
Of people like you know how we do on this channel man we get the research and stuff we we get the Articles we show everybody what this article says and what where people getting this rumor from he does that on this channel so if I Hearn saying that hold on let me go
Check what we talk H to see what they talking about because this might sound a little fishy and so that’s how I usually get down man I try to find other channels like this to get my info man on the different team and and I always I
Always find it cool that that even as like uh content creators like even I go to other channel and I ask questions yeah and that that’s the other thing like you get to talk you get to connect with people right and versus ESPN you you really don’t you know and not saying
That they should but it’s just well I I think I think we’re both getting to the same point we just want better coverage not not heavily heavily narrative coverage like just give us legit coverage man you know coverage yeah think about this well you know the last
Time ESPN I really trust the ESPN’s opinion on different teams you remember when ESPN had the sub the sub channels well not sub channels but the sub uh websites like ESPN Dallas ESPN LA y ESPN Chicago that’s the last time I trusted ESPN because they actually had people
Who were fixated and and their job was to to cover this team the city or whatever right so whenever they were were writing articles and stuff about that you actually felt like you were getting Insight on those teams yeah nowadays you don’t get that because once they started doing those pay cuts and
Started cutting those folks and all that stuff they started you know going real cheap with it they got you know one uh writer covering like six teams you know like timy man not only covered the marriage but he covers you know Utah he covers Denver he covers uh I think it’s
Memphis and Oklahoma City damn so you don’t really get that intimate coverage like you you need like you know if you’re ESPN you have the resources and you also have this person who can give you the Insight but we don’t have that no more yeah which is why I go to
YouTube and find Channel man then they also covered the the bigger teams what’s going to get them the ratings everything has become rating based um and and not not the not the trash on 1053 The Fan it’s because they’re they’re they’re one of the bigger ones right uhuh a lot of
Their coverage is Cowboy coverage man and whenever they do talk Mavs it’s like a segment that we’re all going to miss if if we were tuned in I don’t I don’t I don’t really tune in anymore I I love them I’ve been listening to them since
They were live 1053 you know way back in 20092 2008 when they started when it was new scrubs and Richie W and all that I I was locked in since then and I’ve gotten away from that because I don’t want to hear about the Cowboys 247 and that that
Is what it felt like but they talk Cowboys because that’s what moves the needle and and I’m just like I just wish there was a better balance and I know there’s other radi they cover am it be like real generic real generic yeah very very very surface level and
And I saw uh Mike uh bassic uh and and Company they did a a Maverick segment and there were some people criticizing them they’re like what were these takes and I I like them uh but maybe because they’re so caught up into like cowboy stuff and Mike bassic knows his his
Baseball stuff so I trust him with Ranger stuff for sure that I don’t know if they get enough time to pay attention to what’s going on with the Mavericks and you would think they would when you got a generational talent in Kyrie Irving and that doesn’t even beat the
Cowo it’s just that’s where it’s like where do I find my Maverick stuff right and that’s why that’s why I’m glad we got we talk maths you can talk about locked on bibs and Mavs Outsider you could uh Maverick’s digest all these channels Mavs All pod Maverick Kirk
Henderson Josh bo uh whoever else man now we now there is like this whole network of people that are creating their own their own content but they they’re doing as good of a job as anyone else would be you know so so yeah man I ain’t trying to hold you
Up much longer but let me know yeah I appreciate it man I had I had to hop on for a little bit man and talk little MK with you I know I promise I was gonna do it I didn’t think we was gonna be out this
Long we all way out here in the far uh well we in Fort Worth on the other side of for worth man almost towards just came back from I just came back from for worth too man oh he passed me up okay yeah I was flying I was flying on that
Highway I was like no I said 10:30 I know I was talking about I might postpone it but no I got to stick to it so stuck to it the it was a party going on and there was some influences there and I was like
Damn should I I I had to leave I had to leave but all right ttk man I’m I’mma probably keep listening to you man while I’m in here all right man be good bro appreciate it man yes sir all yes sir uh yeah slightly biased as well man
Slightly biased bro his his uh when when he does like his opening Skits the the PJ Washington Joe one Bravo man that that that was a great one great one uh let let me uh try to get back up here on the top of the comment
So I can read as many comments as I can uh if y’all got if y’all got a second man if y’all don’t mind dropping a like on the actual video um goes a long way again uh we’re just just trying to build the channel whatever the case may be um
So let’s read let’s read a couple of comments and then I got this video I want to show yall I think I saw King mention it when you’re talking about Charles Barkley and uh and the Maverick so we’ll get that in a second Richard K says what’s up watching the last air
Bender tonight it has been surprising good so we’ll be here looks like a looks like a late night yeah man little little late night show I haven’t watched any shows let me know if Airbender is worth checking it out I think uh Halo dropped uh the season two
Right and uh I watched Halo season one I know people criticize it but I I somewhat enjoyed it maybe because I’m a Halo Fanboy but y’all let me know if you’all seen Halo 2 yet I need I need to go or Halo season too I need to catch up
On that Gina Kim what’s up Gina Kim she said hey tjk I had to get here early before Noah came missing Mavs basketball but thankfully it’s a early game tomorrow so I don’t have to wait yeah tomorrow I won’t have a pregame show n I’m kidding I’ll have a pregame show I’m
I’m ready to go Man 3 pm tomorrow man I can’t I’m glad we got a early game I’m glad we got an early game because like if you gota wait till Sun like 7 pm. on a Sunday like bro I gotta be at work the
Next day man like put this in the middle of the day right Noah says I’m surprised I’m awake at this uh time J Kim I had to wake up at 4:2 to watch elimination chamber that was Noah I had to wake up at 3: to get to my friend’s place in
Rette uh and I didn’t get there on time because I stopped to get some food but I’m tired bro I’m tired today I’ve been up since 3ish three three three-ish around there had to drive 30 minutes came back home took like an hour nap then went to go uh practice uh
Baseball cuz I join the co-ed team so I’m over there like running batting all this stuff getting getting ready wor myself out I got practice tomorrow tomorrow I got a I’m gonna go hit a golf range in the very early in the morning I’m tired man but here we are and I
Attended a party today like it was a very productive day today very productive day today n said hey tjk how are you doing tonight as you just heard I’m tired but I’m good uh excited about the game tomorrow hope they do well Nancy what you looking forward to
Tomorrow against the Pacers let me know what uh what about that team you’re looking forward to and uh what specifically you want to see the mass do junior Kim says uh seems like media is on our side got to thank legler for starting the movement Kevin oconor has
Some nice things to say but uh getting Perkins and Brian to praise Luka was surprising yeah it very much was um I don’t I don’t know how they’re gonna maintain that moving forward Kevin o’ Conor I’ve been kind of critical with some of his takes too much I’m like bro
Like just do a little research you know um but Perkins and Brian I I feel like it hurts them it hurts them to give lukea praise right it feels a little forced sometimes right like the way Brian will say things I don’t know if y’all noticed it but Brian
He’ll be like uh when he was talking about the the the Phoenix Suns and the Mavericks he was like well right now the Mavericks are better constructed to compete um maybe give it another trans transaction cycle and we might have a different discussion like but that’s not the question like we talking about
Another transaction cycle if anything the sun’s got worse with their latest transaction cycle you get the Mavericks another trans Action Cycle what makes you think that it’s GNA be different Nico been actually cooking bro it’s a it’s official Nico been cooking I think a lot
Of us were were convinced of it but I I think a lot of us were waited for this tread dayline to be like okay he has officially been cooking because uh I mean if you like a basketball SLE you know he’s been cooking he’s been improving the team little by little with
What he’s had available to him but this trade deadline put it all together he put all the pieces together and he’s officially cooking so you want to talk about giving the the two teams another transaction cycle and you might have a different outcome all right
Cool try it try it KD getting older Luca getting into his prime all right go go ahead go ahead anyway but that’s what I’m saying like whenever they do get praise they always want to add like this little nugget that’s like well right now it’s good but give it another off season
Come on bro come on Noah says uh Jason kid has been coaching good on this uh stretch not great but good he is using his timeouts at the right times as well very true very true I think there was a timeout that he called with like 3
Minutes and 39 seconds against uh the Suns and it was like one possession and after a timeout and he called another timeout or or a timeout at the time and I was like that is a damn good timeout like yeah at that time Kyrie was sitting there was already a timeout they come
Out of the timeout they had a possession he immediately calls the timeout I felt that was intelligent and great because coming out of that timeout you’ve already extended Kyrie’s time with with sitting and allowing him to rest as you know five to 10 minutes whatever the
Case may be total time now it’s time to put him back in and not much of the clock has ran off to where you can ensure he’s back in in there in enough time to be able to impact the game and uh he ended up hitting Luca for that
Dagger three and then the game was over so those timeouts man they matter they matter you got to use them Jen Kim says uh I’ve been watching a lot of math content and went to watch what some s Suns fans had to say and it seems like a
Majority is scared to play us in the playoffs they don’t want to smoke very true uh I’ve been watching the sun’s uh podcast as well salute today man I I think they have a really great format um the the Phoenix podcast I I believe it’s with the the panel where they sit and
Then like ones on the laptop whatever the case may be the one guy with the hat he’s like a super Suns fan he’s like uh he wants to see us in the playoffs like he just he wants to see like uh all of the the the great you know shooters that
Are and players that are on both rosters he’s like he’s like you got to embrace that chaos everyone else they’re like nah man I don’t want to see Luke uh and I think for them it was more like how toxic it would be between a fan
Bases and some of them have like PTSD I understand I think for us as Mavericks fans I’m not going to lie I don’t care who we face I don’t I’m not scared of anybody and the reason for that is because I’ve been I’ve been very on the
Side of get in the wing and getting a backup big and we addressed it and now I’m just like I don’t care who it is I don’t care who it is Luca and Kyrie are going to do what they do and and I’m excited there’s no one I’m afraid of at
All I don’t care who it is hom latte what up that tjk TV after the mark mask content goated yes sir yes sir uh Gina Kim says uh can I ask you a few questions for your opinion all right shoot uh one I’ve been seeing this question get asked a
Lot what is the math ceiling for me I say anything is possible get back to the Western Conference finals and go from there uh T ask your question the MTH sillings for me this is for me I think it’s Championship like point to me on our
Roster what is weak right think of it what is what is weak on our roster and then you think of it and you’re like ah Tim Hardway Jr def defense IQ you know bad moments uh inconsistent shooting and then think of the rest of the roster right I think we
Have like a top nine uh nine man lineup dep chart that a kid is going to utilize and Tim Hardaway being like probably the weakest link as your X Factor as your six-man it’s not ideal but I feel like Tim Hardway one is one of those guys
That when it’s like a pivotal moment he’s going to hit that shot you know what I’m saying so but you think of it you got two back of bigs yeah one’s a rookie but you know that he’s mentally not a rookie you got kba PJ Washington
That could cover the four four spot PJ Washington has hella hella how would I say um flexibility when it comes to be able to guard positions from like the two to the five like you you got someone that’s versatile versatile as PJ Washington it’s great same thing
With kba kba is coming around I’m glad he’s coming around this is where I like to be wrong I wanted to say this remember I’m not GNA say I remember because not all y’all watch every single show I do but there’s been times I’ve said max CA cooked man he’s cooked he’s
Done and I always say I hope I’m wrong right I hope I don’t want to be right I don’t want to be right all the time hell I hope I’m never right and I hope whatever the Mavericks organization does is better and smarter than me that’s my
Hope I don’t want to be the smartest person talking basketball when it comes to the Mavericks I would love to be outsmarted by them they kept maxic kba they stuck with him and right now he’s looking like or he is having a Resurgence he’s looking amazing and I am [ __ ] glad I’m
Excuse my language again this is midnight madness we can cuss here but I am [ __ ] glad I’m wrong thank God Max EBA is what he is right now it helps it helps so much that he’s able to be a peace out there that could defend and be
Able to spot up shoot man be able to spot up shoot all right 1026 that’s the next H I get to so let’s uh let’s follow up on this video with Charles Barkley salute to um Greg’s Court Greg’s Court does a really good job job finding these
Things I know I try to do my part for Twitter but uh he does a really good job so let let’s see what um Charles Barkley has said so he put wild card for Mass Charles Barkley I can’t trust I can’t trust anyone other than the Dallas
Mavericks okay I haven’t seen this I have not seen this I don’t know if y’all seen this let’s check it out Wild Card the Dallas Mavericks oh stop it hey stop why why well first of all they already got those two guys I thought other than your
I thought they had the second best trade deadline Stephen A I’m telling you I love what they did at the trade deadline that’s getting Gafford to me is huge H cuz they were too small they needed a bigger body because you got to they need somebody to go against the Joker they
Needed somebody to go against zubas because you got to keep that boy off the board he going to get 100 offensive rebounds if you don’t keep him off the boards so they needed a big body I love what they did uh I can’t trust anybody else in the west other than the M
Huh oh that’s hilarious that Stephen A his immediate reaction he was like oh stop why Stephen A why you know why is Stephen A so anti uh the Mavericks and anti anything positive being said about him like what like y’all heard that right I know y heard that that that
That’s just weird when he’s like oh stop he don’t believe man he don’t believe and if and and what did Luca say if you don’t believe you shouldn’t be here that’s why he’s not here you know what I’m saying uh no it says Jason Tatum has 17 points tonight and he’s and
And he’s the most valuable player if there was a best team award then yeah but his this Jason Tatum MVP narrative is blasphemy damn he had 17 points tonight did they win did they win let me see let’s see what what happened out here in the the NBA streets let’s see
What what’s going on let’s go look at the scores let me show y’all what I’m looking at that way y’all know what the hell I’m just blabbering about that’s crazy I don’t know he had 17 points tonight like I thought I thought Mr Jason Tatum was him you know so’s
See oh they they they they won and they beat the Knicks see Jaylen Brown 30 points eight rebounds that’s a luxury ladies and gentlemen that is a luxury and yet Jason Tatum’s MVP when you got when you’re number two can pick you up I’ll score
You and get a win for you how many times has Kyrie out score Luca you know it’s not many times it’s not many times not not saying that it’s a bad thing I think it would be lovely I would love it where Luca had doesn’t
Have to be the number one option all the time that’d be great you know but you that’s crazy but you they going to say what they say uh J Kim too if the playoffs were to start now how confident should we as mass fans um will uh that
Will’ll go to the finals oh like currently right now oh great question like right now how confident am I of us going to the finals dang that’s a great question Gina Kim I’m not g to lie I think I think whenever I talk about their potential is
Based on how they’re going to come through continuity wise moving forward so you know I’m I’m speaking in future reference but right now I’m confident in them would I say finals right now Dam that’s a good one that is a good one here’s what I’ll say I
Think I I think they could and maybe I’m very biased but be I’ll say this right now the only reason I’ll say yes that they can is because like everyone in in their positions is not difficult to learn everyone is in a natural role now
Um so you all you got to do is go out there and playing basketball you know and in the playoffs you get an extra day or two days off where you could practice and build the chemistry there so yeah I’m pretty confident I’d be a lot more confident if we we keep this
Run going and then go into the playoffs as like as we naturally would but if you were tell me right now the playoffs start right now I’m confident but I wouldn’t be as confident as as I would be when we would normally go to the playoffs right so but again they just
Got playing their normal roles that’s it like it’s that’s the beauty in it they just got to play their normal roles and there’s not much of a fall off after that you know and that’s the great thing about it uh appreciate y’all getting those likes up man damn we’re almost at
30 man appreciate y’all man that’s crazy that’s crazy never would have thought um doing like a second show where we just kind of just talk math stuff and whatever whatever comes to mind now what I thought it people would enjoy this so I I am I am thankful I appreciate y’all
Man for real J G says I have more to ask uh but I want to wait until your guests get here uh about the MVP discussion Luca is still getting disrespected I love how an is confident but we know he isn’t close to Luka yeah we know he’s
Not man we know he’s not and and honestly you got you got to talk yourself up so I’m not mad at him I like ant but uh you know there’s got to be some level of Pride where you can’t be like nah he better than me I’m prettyy
Sure if he asked Luca Luca would have been like no you know an’s great he’s a great player I think if they would have pushed him is he better than you you know like no you know knowing Luca he’s not GNA say he’ be like that’s up for
The media to say right like he he’ll just say he’s a great player so different perspectives you know it is what it is uh knights in the building what’s up ni said what’s up fam what up haters and shambles and the mission is far from over liuk Kai and full effect
Yes sir they are in shambles as you could hear Stephen A when uh Charles Barkley gave the map some love there J Kim says same with Tatum I don’t know why they just randomly started pushing Tatum and ant uh but half of the voters just want to pick them because they
Don’t uh because they don’t Joker or they don’t want Joker to have it and they hate Luca for some reason yeah there there is some weird uh some weird things going on right but I think it’s starting to turn it’s starting to turn Noah says you looking slick little something man little something
First time seeing their hair that’s hilarious I I was at the uh at this party with my family right and um salute to my cousins um but they they normally see me with a hat on they’re like we didn’t know your hair was curly like
This I like yeah you know I pulled it out for you I pause uh Mr Gucci what up he said what up TGK shout out to the to to boy bro shout out to the boy I’m going just go shout out to the boy boy bro appreciate you man appreciate you
Juan says salute what up Juan uh C duub in the building Luca MVP train picking up momentum yes sir what about um Tim marwe junor 6man is is that y’ think that’s still alive I don’t know he’s just we need tsj to have some good games
Move forward G says uh J Kim says I’m not gonna lie I’m a little nervous about the game tomorrow because the Pacers are a faster team and have excuse me that’s the tequila and have great offense but if uh we can stay hot and play good defense I
Feel like we should be fine yeah I’m I’mma save my um Pacers talk and uh dissection of the team for tomorrow I I love to talk Pacers with y’ but I would just you know chop into the the pregame show tomorrow so I’ll save the Pacer stuff for tomorrow
But it is going to be an interesting game we’re talking about Halle Burton we’re talking about Rick Carlow we’re talking about Miles Turner and we’re talking about um um Mr uh Pascal cakam so another matchup for PJ Washington right oh that’s gonna be a fun match up
All right let me stop let me stop Colin morning TGK the MS are on fire what’s up Colin yeah man uh perf Australia looks amazing on WWE 1,00% man I I I don’t know if you from out there I don’t know if I confirmed that last time but uh but
Yeah salute to Australia I want to go over there one day uh Frank says media reacts off of standings and highlights kind of like o great one great great one Frank remember when uh jaran got that that uh block off the backboard and everyone like oh he plays better defense
Than Luca right when they were like comparing them when the whole Jason t uh Jason John Mor’s better than Luca and then you look at the defensive rating and you saw Luca had a better defensive rating than John Mor so it’s just that’s how you know like they they do go off
And it was a great block don’t don’t get me wrong but come on now you know what I’m saying Noah says the whole take with Luca not playing defense or he cries to the refs is just a lazy take they can’t think of anything else except those
Takes they don’t watch maths games AKA Stephen A Smith of course of course they don’t um let’s see see see where’s I at damn Dam almost lost my spot here junior cam says I don’t watch uh too much love from the media I don’t want too much love from
The media because I feel like they’ll try to put High expectation on us but I still doubt but they but some still doubt us so that’s good yeah they’re going to doubt us until we get to like a top four spot then then they’ll change a
Little bit Nick says uh ESPN died when steu Scott Stuart Scott died it’s been a propaganda Channel more than a sports channel ever since let’s stop stressing on what they think about the math yeah no I agree man I agree and uh I think uh you know when talking to real
Tonight it was just is really about for me it was more about pointing out like finally the Mavericks got some coverage but but to in the totality for me it was validation for all of us you know it was validation for all of us when someone
Like Tim legler says what he said today I was like then that like we got legit coverage for once like there was legit legitimate coverage and Analysis on on the Mavericks for once on ESPN and we’re fans right uh Unfortunately they just have so much
Influence but to me it was just we got some validation and I’m good now I don’t have to watch them anymore but I will because I like to call out stuff it’s I’m Petty like that so I will watch their little skits and their little
Segments but I’m off of it you know what I’m saying I’m good to go um no it says I’ve watched a lot of Boston games and they are they are like us they shoot a lot of threes and not a lot of TW and their defense is good but with us um our
Offense is cooking and our defense is cooking also what they don’t have bro they don’t have a Kyrie and they don’t have a Luca donic that creates they don’t have that I think they pass pass pass I don’t watch them enough so you can maybe you can inform me Noah but the
Way I look at the Celtics I think it’s just because they have so many great players you can’t leave anybody open so uh as soon as someone doubles you just pass pass pass and and shoot your three whereas Kyrie and Luca has just a different level of
Attention you know what I’m saying like yeah you got to stop those guys but you’re not and whoever you leave open good luck so I can see that we’re we’re both of the same players I just think there’s different levels as far as running offense when it comes to Kyrie
And Luca as opposed to Drew holiday and Jason Tatum you get what I’m saying know say I remember watching ESPN like cartoons I miss those days bro I remember I remember uh Dallas had a 10 of 103.3 ESPN I’d go to sleep with the radio on I’d wake up with the radio on
On 103.3 ESPN bro remember one day I woke up and they were talking about Quincy Carter got uh let go of the Dallas Cowboys for you know the doing cocaine or whatever the case of may be and I was like I was devastated bro like
I Lov Quincy Carter I was like no man uh J Kim says they want to compare ant to MJ which is fine I think they play similar but ant isn’t doing what MJ was doing Luca is the only player you can compare to MJ with his numbers like kid
Said yep and kid got a lot of uh backlash I don’t think he got a lot of backlash from us in Dallas I think it was I think we all kind of understood what he was saying but nationally I think they were kind of out of pocket uh
Tjk ESP would not want me on the show I would be too real putting my feelings aside and actual and actually speak facts that’s all we want from them man that is all we want from them um uh I I’ll move on from Talking ESPN let’s see any like National media T
Let’s go here Daniel what’s up he said I see us getting to 10 straight wins on the road on this road trip but that game versus the Celtics and Boston will be a true test for us all right great Point let’s pull this up right let’s pull this up the
Dallas I don’t know if yall seen the rest of their schedule I think the rest of the schedule is pretty pretty interesting on how this is going to look like moving forward so let me shut this up cuz you know my computer be there
Goes and now let me show you what I am seeing again if you ain’t hit the like yet on the video man y’all go hit that like get those likes up all right so here’s the Dallas Mavericks they got a four game Road Trip coming up starting
Tomorrow at 4 pm Central Time at Indiana versus the Pacers then Tuesday in Cleveland versus the Cavaliers Wednesday on a back toback damn that’s a back to back on a back to back versus the Toronto Raptors at 6:30 and then Friday night on ESPN ladies and gentlemen 6:30 against the Boston Celtics
Wow that is going to be a game that is going to be a game ladies and gentlemen I ain’t trying to look ahead obviously I want us to take care of business right here I think the Mavericks can beat Indiana I I think they can beat
Cleveland I even think in a backup I mean a back-to-back scenario I think they can beat Toronto and this is one of the rare times where the Mavericks actually have a backto back where the start time from the previous night on the back toback isn’t ahead of
The the star time from the previous night so this is the rare time where the back toback the second game is played even after um the first game was played normally if they played at 700 p.m. uh the the first night the next night they play like at 600 p.m. like it was
Something stupid like that to where they lost time uh when it came to playing it back toback so this is finally you know like the Rocks is finally and then uh Friday 6:30 ESP that’s crazy oh man then next Sunday at noon next Sunday at noon I might be playing baseball I don’t
Know if I be I should be able to do a pregame show but uh next time Monday in Dallas against Philadelphia uh next Tuesday in Dallas against Indiana and then uh not next one my fault then the th the Thursday after that March 5th uh then Thursday March
7th my fault Tuesday March 5th Thursday March 7th here in Dallas versus Miami uh I might be doing a uh pregame show IRL that night I’ll I’ll probably be going to the game or I will be going to the game with the homie cdub salute
To cdub um and we’ll be doing a live IRL there and uh hopefully my equipment will be a little bit better I’m I’m going to change some things on the phone that way the quality looks a lot better but yeah man look look at that uh let’s try to
Let’s try to look ahead real quick right then we got Detroit I think we should take care of that we got Chicago they should be done playing or caring about wins that Golden State game is going to be very interesting damn at home in Dallas oh that was interesting Thursday against Oklahoma
City at 900 p.m huh tickets as low as 13 bucks huh I would love to go to Oklahoma to watch some Ms should I should I take that Friday off and then all right um uh Sunday versus uh Denver 2:30 pm. ABC these three games right here are
Tough three straight games against what I anticipate are going to be really three good teams on fire at that time that’s going to be a tough stretch right here then you got San Antonio Utah Utah Sacramento Sacramento you know we’re going to lose one of those Sacramento
Games then you got Houston again then Golden State again Atlanta Golden State again damn Houston again then Charlotte Miami okay I I feel like you could take care of a lot of these games I think the games that are going to be difficult is Boston uh the next game that might be
Difficult might be that Miami game uh Golden State will be difficult Oklahoma City in Oklahoma knowing that we beat them as bad as we beat them that game might be difficult Denver obviously difficult one of those Sacramento games going to be a loss for sure both of
Those Golden State games and that last and we closed the season with Oklahoma City wow close the close the season with Oklahoma City there might be some might be some uh standing impl implications implcations implications at that time that’s crazy oh man that GNA be a fun
Time uh what else I want to talk about so I got this list right here right so we talked Tim legler we talked luuka MVP hype we talked about ESPN being and shambles we kind of talked about what’s next for the maps and now I want to be
Able to get to this so let’s get into some Analytics ladies and gentlemen I don’t know if y’all like analytics as much as I do but when it comes to the MVP I just wanted to share this I don’t know if I have to say much
To it but uh as you can see uh the the the numbers in bold lets you know which player is better in that category yeah um so for someone that doesn’t play defense he’s getting more steals per game than Jason Tatum and has got as just as many blocks as he does as
Well but uh but yeah you know don’t mind me ladies and gentlemen don’t mind me all right uh the other thing I want to show youall let’s get into some Advanced analytics um let me see if I can uh trying to find scoring or traditional where
Is or line I say lineups no let’s go players players General clutch def def defense box score box shot dashboard defense dashboard overall yeah overall per game all totals uh last four games and then we can look it up this way go PJ or no it’s not going to show where I
Was there we go dang that’s crazy so if you see here right PJ Washington in the last four games that he’s played with the Dallas Mavericks there have been 53 field goals attempted against him only 20 of them have gone in his defensive field goal percentage is 37% um that’s amazing
Bro that’s amazing uh there’s another thing I wanted to see let me see if I could uh refresh it so check this out I think we could go down to I know there’s an other way long as my internet wants to participate there goes players and then per
Mode Dam where where was it uh I know there was a way to separate like the defensive ratings let me see PJ Washington defensive defensive stats well here we go this thing don’t want to work for me today PJ Washington Washington defensive stats with the Mars there we
Go there we go okay that’s a little bit better but I want to See totals I want to see like his defensive rating like what kind of defensive rating do we get when he’s on the basketball court and I cannot find that I don’t think I’m going to nah damn you know some sometimes when you’re doing things live you you can’t
You can’t catch it right then there uh let’s get down here let’s get back to the comments right quick for a second said how realistic is Luca winning the MVP championship and finals MVP this year I say it’s more than 50% that a big percentage right there how many many
Players have done that you know not many not many so we’re talking about Something Real historic so 50% oh that’s crazy uh how realistic I think it’s realistic for sure if we get that top you know four five SE something like that but uh 50% is uh
It’s higher than I would put it for sure Joe in the building says comment for the algorithm thank you Joe thank you Joe um let’s see no King you going have to come up here and explain this you going have to come up here and explain that man free Bingo space
Celtics nah that’s crazy uh Tim legler listens to me Noah says tjk Stephen A Smith saying Tatum is the best player on the best team so it’s so Capp Jaylen Brown has 30 point uh more 30-point games this season than Tatum so yeah I I’m just saying bro like you know
You’re saying it for me that’s crazy you know but they don’t watch they they really don’t watch and that’s that’s the annoying part as well Jen Kim says uh tjk nothing wrong with voting who you want to vote for but at least be consistent his criteria must have just
Started this year and he was disrespectful the Luca when he said who when interviewing ant oh yeah that too I I you know we gotta provide context up in here right so let’s let’s look it up uh Anthony ano Edwards and I think it was was yeah here it goes bro there’s a there’s a lot of stuff there’s a lot of there is a lot of news that I think I have missed because I was at a party on crazy crazy busy day today how does it feel right now nationally
Televised you’re clearly the star attraction it’s been that way throughout the season everybody’s talking about you what’s this season been like for you um it’s been fun man uh I don’t I wouldn’t say that I’m the star of Attraction but um I would say my team is as a team we
Doing it together and um FY doing a great job of putting us in the right spots how good are you feeling about this team compared to what you saw last season um I felt I felt like this last season but we got hurt you know what I
Mean so I feel like long as we stay healthy we we’re trouble team to play so give me an idea if you didn’t get hurt if you didn’t feel like you were 100% if you had been 100% what would y’all have done last year against the now reigning
Defending Champion Denver Nuggets I mean to be honest I’m a competitor so I can’t say what we would have did because I don’t know we lost to them they went have won a championship so shout out to them but we we trying to see them this
Year for sure when you look at this team this year is it about getting yourself set to compete against the Champions or do you look at the entire Western Conference and say to yourself as presently bill we can take anybody yeah for sure yeah we taking it piece by
Piece storm by storm we ain’t looking at the Championship right now we looking at these last 27 and then we’ll figure out the playoffs after that as you look at your game what has gotten you to this level you’re averaging over 26 a game you’re the number one option Carl
Anthony Town comes on TV this morning and says he had to come to you and tell you you’re the best player on the team he talked about that to that our relationship is is like kind of like best friends man um he came to me one
Game and was like look we coming to you at the end of the game I’m pretty sure that Luca part coming here in a bit so stay tuned man you know that’s that’s you can’t teach that man that’s wanting to see somebody else shine I think that’s that’s our entire team LeBron
James was on the record saying that when you look to the Future the guys that are ready to take the man to the kind of young Bloods that we going to look at he brought up your name he brought up Shay gilis Alexander your thoughts about that
I think that’s dope cuz um I think he exactly right me and Shay and Luca for sure right you you said you and who Luca all right yeah how do you feel you guys how do you feel you man he clearly hurt heard it he heard it man that’s crazy that is crazy
Um that’s crazy there is is there any other uh video out there that uh y’all would say is like Maverick’s related y’all want me to look at uh does ant compare to MJ so now they doing ant comparisons to MJ that’s crazy that’s CRA the who yeah
That that’s wild to say but you know it is what it is man um have y’all seen this the whole uh Draymond going off on uh Grant Williams I don’t know if yall saw that check this out what did you uh what was your take on what went down in the last
10 seconds and yeah I don’t really understand why people get so mad at like somebody scoring at the end of the game it’s like this dumb unofficial uh Unwritten rule I’m going share my thoughts about Grant Williams and what happened here in a second but check this out for Content
That everybody get mad like if y’all were winning by 13 points would you get mad if he lay the ball up I doubt it and so it’s kind of like a s loser type thing like uh you know miles is my guy that’s my little brother so
I’m not going to sit here and go in on miles miles can do no wrong to me um but Grant Williams gota stop miles can’t do no all right now stop go ahead go stop it man he he can’t keep being like this tough guy is going
Absolutely wrong for him like he’s a really nice guy and and um for some reason he keep like trying to jump on the unlikable side and I must tell you it’s not always fun over here um it’s not always a good time uh and
So I don’t know man he need to figure it out uh cuz boy I mean talking too much kind of got you out of Dallas like overdoing it and he over there talking too much now so you might want to slow down and stop for all
The tough guy stuff you know you want to be the president of PA and stuff man you can’t be out here doing all that stuff you don’t see you don’t see CJ McCullum running around being a tough guy Chris was tough as hell as as the Players Association president but like CP six
Feet like you got to have some nastiness to you to be that great and be six feet tall I don’t know what Grant Williams out here doing man that dude is uh he in it with everybody this year and then he came over to our bench thought he was
About to have a friend ain’t no friends for you over here my man like you got to go down there and talk to your guys you can’t come over here and talk to us about what just happen with our players like no we support him also there’s a
Two second differential in the shot clock would you like us to take another turnover we got enough turnovers on this game as it is what 22 turnovers you want to get 23 you also cannot not press down 13 with a minute to go and then somebody shoot a layup with 22 seconds to
Go and you get mad like with 240 how long does he go on gra with I I just caught a small uh piece of this I don’t know he kept going F we took our stars out go sit down it’s over that’s crazy game is over go sit down
They didn’t want to go sit down so if y’all still playing then play don’t stop now because there’s 22 seconds left and you finally feel like it’s Out Of Reach clearly we thought it was Out Of Reach at 2:45 which is why Steve took everybody out so now that you think it’s
Out Of Reach it’s okay like oh it ends now like no it doesn’t work like that and so I’m really sick of guys with this like oh you scored at the end like bro you should have did that a long time ago and yeah man pray for GR Williams Ah that’s
Wild that’s wild man um all right I’m be very uh candid with with this uh perspective here I think I’ve always thought Gran Williams I mean I’ve always thought Draymond Green has been enabled um with his behavior um and you know and now that he’s come back after knocking people out and punching
People and choking people um um you you would have thought he’d uh ease up a little bit but he hasn’t and and and again kudos for for him you know good job I guess um but the NBA does give him a lot of leeway I feel like I that’s my
Perspective I feel like he gets a lot of leeway uh Luca could underhand throw a ball to a referee where the referee could catch it you know where it’s not that fast where he hits him in the face uh and gets a tech whereas as opposed Draymond is chewing chewing the ref out
In front of his face won’t stop chewing him out and nothing happens um you know Dre Draymond always he’s he’d be doing some stuff and I I just I don’t get it why there’s like uh I don’t get a lot of things I just noticed I don’t get a lot of things I
Don’t get why Draymond just gets this free pass to knock people out and stay in the league like I get it people don’t like nurkic um I don’t care too much for what he does as a for as a phoenix son especially but you knocked the dude out
Bro like you acted like you were fling your hand anyway the Grant Williams part I ain’t got no issues with Grant Williams I just know he didn’t play well for us uh Luca retweeted him a couple like I think yesterday it is what it is man I I I
Think I think Grant Williams is being himself he’s been talking trash he likes is doing it um the whole scoring rule I do think is dumb as well like just stop him from scoring um but no man I think I think we’re piling on Grant Williams too much
As M fans I think we should be thankful that he was here enough to be able to get us PJ Washington right without him we we don’t get that deal done guess I needed a first round pick but I I think for for us we can’t be
Um we shouldn’t enjoy it right but we should be happy that he’s no longer here he got us PJ Washington hopefully he figures it out but uh but Draymond Green it’s like shouldn’t throw stones if you live in a glass house right and you got a glass J
Anyway I thought that entire thing was just kind of crazy uh ma what’s up says salute TGK salute salute uh Gina Kim says legler even convinced me when he said he had Luca for MVP and I was already on the Luca train legler made a great argument and more people should
Use it totally agree totally agree Noah says uh why ain’t nobody talking about how Luca has outplayed Shai twice head-to-head matchups it’s confusing to me but PJ got his number facts what can he say here Charles barley told Stephen A Smith that he only trust the Mavs other than Denver and
Lac hey man and you saw how Stephen A responded he like oh come on yeah man they want to hate on the map so bad or they do hate ruy what’s up ruy said yo tjk what up telling you man I drank too much today he said dude we going to the
Finals this year Luca MVP TGK 50k Subs TGK 50 50k Subs now let’s go I’m drunk by the way I’m drunk by the way too man uh let me let me get down to the the more fresher comments the these are like 40 minutes ago anything y’all want me to
Go over bro I’m I’m g go till midnight we got about 13 minutes left if y’all don’t mind commenting anything yall want to go over does anyone anybody want to come come up here and talk for a little bit yall want y’all want King to come up
Here or y’all want anyone in the in the in the chat to come up here uh let me see I’m I’m G post the the link in the YouTube comments we we got again we could we could chat for the last couple minutes I appreciate y’all being here man I know
It’s late as hell but well we’re all we’re all Maverick sickos ain’t we uh let’s see let’s see let’s see what what did King say King said uh k accepts the role of Batman I saw that tweet salute to who sent that tweet I I
Just I can’t find it but it said uh you know Kyrie shouldn’t be the robin to Luca Batman right Kyrie is Batman and Luca is Superman I thought that was great I thought that was great now I agree I I don’t think Kyrie is a robin
If not that is the greatest Robin of all time no one says I admit I was wrong about Luca I was I was made uh I Was Made I guess to feel we traded trade for Luca because I watched Trey a lot in college or oh you said I was mad we
Traded Trey for Luca because I watched Trey a lot in college and he was great but think thank the lord we got big eyes so LCA dones agreed man I don’t I don’t want to be right when it comes to the Mavericks uh like I hope I’m not always
Right like I I would love for them to to do their due diligence and be better than I am and when it comes to analyzing basketball like that’s my perspective um again I put that that link uh below if anybody’s interested to come up here yeah I could force King to
Come up here and defend his uh bingo space take when it comes to the Boston Celtics um but if not I’ll I’ll fill in the gaps I was able to hit all of the points I wanted to talk about today the advanced analytics things didn’t work
Out for me today I will take talk Indiana Pacers but I’m G save that for the pregame show tomorrow um let’s see oh and tomorrow tomorrow the uh this thing over here this thing will be back in full effect this is uh my soundboard so tomorrow I’ll be reinstalling my
Uh my software that I utilize to where I could connect my microphone and U myh soundboard together we’re going to try it again we’re going to try it again I I miss the soundboard so much man I I think the soundboard is so much fun uh
So hopefully we can bring that back uh J Kim says not only is Luka getting disrespected KS to I love how he’s been saying he wants to chip being injured in the the past playoffs has people saying he’s not good enough I I will tell you this Mavs won a
Championship I’m gonna take a couple days off from work and I don’t know what I’mma do but I’mma Be at the parade I’m not missing the parade this time I missed a parade in 2011 for a job that I gave my all to and uh
They treated me like trash uh J Kim says I’ve noticed as I watch some Suns games is easy how it is it is how I can’t read tonight I notice I’ve noticed as I watch some Suns games how easy it is to guard KD just trap him and watch how hard it
Is for him to pass the ball yeah unfortunately that’s one thing he’s never become really great at you know LCA Don gets blitzed non-stop L LCA Don has found a way to be able to make adjustments lot of those roles and KD hasn’t bro and uh even the the Suns
Podcast they were going over that they were talking about that as well oh we we got a guest up in here we got a guest up in here hold on what’s up Joe div’s ball what’s going on man not much man just here talking talking mass mass
Basketball so was it espalone or was it Don Julio 1942 I mean what what what what what what was going on man it was uh it was Don Julio it was uh a clear bottle with the black uh like the Black cover or black the rep
Uh I’m a no it it was a clear and then there was another one I think it was Jose quille I was drinking out of and that’s my my cousins man they’re they’re very influential they’re like man just take it to the head so you’re not like pouring anything out you’re literally
Taking it to the head and uh yeah you know because if you don’t take a shot they start calling you all sorts of names you know oh you’re a [ __ ] and this and that so it’s like oh here we go being peer pressured so so um man that
Was kind of the thing like uh Westside Fort Worth where my kids played Little League that was like a big deal like you know there’s a lot of Latinos over there a bunch of Hispanic families and they’re great great families wonderful people and uh so they would invite me to
Different different things um you know I was single at the time and all the stuff and man I’d go over there and we would have the best time but if you weren’t careful you would get lit yeah yeah that’s why whenever I go to for Worth to
Hang out with my cousins I’m like man I I need to I need to have a plan when I get there I need to have a plan to exit and I need to have a plan to get home but they they be telling me I could stay
There and I’m just like nah do they have do they call so there’s a thing it’s called an Irish goodby which basically means you show up to a party then you just kind of sneak off you know do they have a do they call that something is there an equivalent in the Hispanic
Community I couldn’t tell you uh um how would I put it because we’re we’re such a tight-knit group um if you just kind of leave unannounced that you get slandered for like man bro what the hell like is there a problem like what’s the
Problem you know uh uh but no I I I couldn’t tell you about you know ducking off of parties like that it’s happened before but it’s like it’ll be someone that got so drunk they just they just end up leaving you know so yeah you find them they’re like passed out in
Somebody’s bedroom yeah yeah yeah oh we got another guest in here hold on hold on what’s up what’s up big Jay what’s going on man what’s up man what you got on your your mind for the maths or anything you want to ask man what’s up uh oh Big Jay
Froze the stage is too big for him man dang Big Jay can you pick us can you hear us probably probably probably connection went crazy there yeah uh Noah said if we win I’m going to the parade I’m from Charlotte so I will take a road trip I
Gotta save that money yeah man can you hear me yeah I can hear you now what’s up up actually I was going to say I just saw your boy uh omx I was at the the Legends game tonight oh nice oh yeah he
He he got uh he got sent back uh to the the the Legends how’d he do he I mean he’s he’s doing okay I mean the thing is he still got to learn to get a little bit more on the flow he’s still a little jerky in his movements I’ve been
Noticing and not 100% confident in the shot but they they’re trying to promote him and push him up to you know have him take the majority of the shots when he’s on the court he kind of flares his elbows a little bit sometimes when he shoots threes so you know yeah like I
Said he’s not 100% smooth yet but he’s starting to get a little bit more comfortable but like I said that’s why they’re trying to feed him more down there make him like feature him so he’s he’s kind of doing the same thing they did with Jaden Hardy last year when they
Sent Jaden down so much just Jaden excelled I I think he’s gonna really benefit from an off seon where he’s going to they can kind of rebuild his shot from the ground up and then you know what happens in those situations is that that the real discipline is using
Your Technique that you learn in the off season and a practice in games because so easy to go back but once he does that he man he can get to be like a 36% three-point shooter oh man gonna be great player I’m super excited about him
I’m tell you he’s I think he just has to put it together because physically he’s the most he has the most NBA ready body of anybody down there like it’s it’s his night and day when you see him standing next to everybody else it’s just he has
To put it together you know so what do we think he weighs now he’s probably about 235 you know he’s about 69 610 about he’s probably about 235 somebody was saying they thought he was gonna grow some more I don’t know that he’s gonna grow any
Because he’s uh you know he he was in school for a long time he not like he’s Derek Lively who’s 19 20 years old so yeah I think think it’s goingon get uh how would uh uh I’ve never been to a Legends game I think they’re they play
In fris right yeah I got I got season tickets I sit quarts I see them all the time what that’s crazy how would uh how would you um how would I say how would you ex or describe uh games over there uh whenever they uh they get like some of the NBA T
To come down there so the weird thing is I’ve talked to like I I used to talked to all the guys I talked to uh what’s his name Taz and all that before he left uh you know they traded him off the team and I’ve talked to a bunch of the
Players you know straight up because we have events with them and stuff where we hang out with them and and so wow um so you got you kind of get you know the perspective plus you get to talk I talked to the executive so I hear what they’re saying about you know the
Different players and what they think about even the big team because they I talked about uh Dwight pow earlier on the season I’m like you know like why y’all forcing us to hate Dwight P about putting him out there you know like I’m sure he’s not a bad dude
But I like everybody hates him because you force us to hate him you know because you put him in a bad situation where he he struggles and he he’s not you know he’s not a center and so you can’t play him at Center every time you do everybody just gets frustrated
Because we know he’s gonna slap the ball to the other team 50% of the time instead of just grabbing with two hands for a rebound and all that but as far as Legends games the energy is usually pretty good uh the only thing I’ve noticed with some of those the players
That’ll never make it to the NBA is sometimes they get negative and you could see that kind of keeping in you know talking to them like you know they they feel bitter like cuz I talked to next like some of the guys on the team feel that they should be playing in the
NBA and you can even tell about the way they act on courton so it’s it’s sometimes it’s it’s disjointed for those players that feel that they should be the star they should be the feature but you know it is what it is like I mean
Like I saw Theo out there you know he’s playing down there right now and a couple of times I’ve seen him where he’s gotten frustrated and he just kind of like gave up on plays because you know he thought he should have got a call and
He didn’t get a call and then he just stopped playing you know damn you know it’s got gotta be really frustrating for those guys because they have such a singular Focus for so much of their lives and to be that close and you know there’s so many different factors that
Goes into who makes the league and what fewer than 5,000 people in the history of the world have played the NBA like that so well the crazy thing is I mean they just got to learn because like they just called Justin Jackson he just got signed by the uh the
Timberwolves so you know he was down there with the with the Legends up until last week so you just got to play you know yeah yeah that that’s awesome though big J I I I did not know that uh you got the you got like inside sources
Like that that’s dope man oh man I used to talk to Donnie all the time i’ I’ve been knowing Donnie for since 2010 is when I first met him I was down there like I I got pictures of me holding a trophy in the locker room when they won oh
That’s damn that’s awesome that’s dope man I mean you you G have to start giving us more insight when it comes to like these our g-league Squad man that’s dope well even that like I said I know some stuff about the MAV from you know back in the days from talking to Donnie
All the time man I was there when when we lost kid in the offseason you know after the Championship and all that I was I talked to him I was at his house that weekend you know so there’s a lot of stuff I I got all kind of old stories
From that from those days man oh wow damn well I mean we gonna have to figure something out man that way we could give you a a little platform here so you could fill us in um like I tell people people hate on D like I said I know some
Of that’s warranted for some of the decisions but like I’m going tell you like people don’t remember that D was the one that was trying to get Giannis on the team yeah when he because he wanted to draft jannis and and Mark overrode him because he was trying to
Save cap space to be able to go offer the mondy to was it DeAndre no to Dwight Howard that that summer so that’s why he moved us down and we took Shane Lin because he wanted to save the money instead of drafting Giannis he said if
We save the money by moving back in the draft we’d save enough to go get Dwight Howard and then we never did Big Jay you know how much money that was that he was trying to save by I thought it was some like it was
Like a maybe two or 300,000 it wasn’t a lot yeah it was $200,000 yeah he was trying to free up that much yeah that’s crazy uh hey D what’s up DV I mean uh DV what’s up you got anything you want to say or mention um nothing in
Particular I feel you man I feel you uh being on shows like this you probably like you know I had an idea but it kind of just went away you know dud DB’s like it’s on playback he’s just gonna weigh in every like 15 minutes or something all good it’s all
Good big you gotta come on playback man yeah yeah man okay okay it’s just a lot of times I’ll be watching the games so I’ll be focused on actually watching the game so I don’t hop on the playback sometimes buty I big J great great point
Because I’ll be like I I’ll be in the game um so then I I’ll you know I’ll talk a little bit but then I I lock into the game I’ll be like quiet or then I got to go make myself some dinner so I get where you’re coming from but uh it’s
Fun in there man it’s fun in there for sure I listened a couple times but yeah like I that’s the only problem like I actually get you know in it so I like to pay attention sometimes yeah for sure yeah we we have some good the people
That don’t necessarily come on to the stage and they just offer commentary and so we’ve got really good fan base and play play in playback so that you get lots of quality content in there so yeah I know I just didn’t want to get I thought about getting in it before when
They had uh was it uh Johnny Bravo before with some of his stuff man yeah it’s easy to it’s easy to get off playback whenever you get somebody that tries to come in and just dominate the conversation so I appreciate that yeah hey Noah Noah Noah was in here for a
Second said I got that Spectrum Wi-Fi is worse than th hey man I got that T-Mobile I got that T-Mobile wireless internet so don’t don’t tell me Spectrum better now or or Worse that’d be crazy uh Rich K says uh TJ big J uh I’ll be into a g-league
Podcast J that’d be dope man especially if you got like you say you got season tickets you get access like that I that be pretty a yeah dude I got pictures man I got pictures me and Nick Van XEL I got s them sing I’ve been I’ve been around
Them guys forever so uh used to talk to sagana [ __ ] when he was down there coaching and Eduardo nahara all them dudes I met everybody man that was awesome I need to go to one of those games man I’ve been wanting come down I see the court side if you want just let
Me know you sit with me all right I’m gonna take you up on it uh yeah I do I do want to see uh omx like up close and personal cuz I I would say this there was one time I got to sit probably as
Close as I could ever get to a cour side and um Russell Westbrook was like in the prime of his career and it was against it was when we had Rondo and and I was probably about like 10 rows up but just to see Russell Westbrook run down that Court like it
Put fear in me I’m like hell no like you going to stand in front of that like like this see the physicality of the players up close it’s a whole different Beast man it’s it’s different and like I said the cool thing is we get to talk to
You can talk to the players after the game cuz they stand on Court and you can walk up to him talk to him ask questions and then like last night I was at the game last night we had uh Michael finer was sitting about 8T from me and then uh
Alvin Gentry’s been there the last couple nights because he’s he’s involved with the uh the Kings and there that’s who we were playing what D Michael Finley be there too Dam that’s crazy yeah SP webs there all the time because he’s a the vice president on the team so if you ever
Want to see SP all them guys are there wow Harris are are you on uh Instagram or Twitter or something like that so I could follow up with you bro that’ be yeah I’ll shoot you something all right yeah hit me up man that’s dope no I see
You here what’s up Noah yes sir hello tej K doing good man how you doing good good yo man I’m so tired but woke up 4:00 elimination chamber crazy ridiculous man yeah man I I don’t know why we do that to ourselves I went to a friend’s house they were doing a watch
Party for the elimination chamber I told him it was fun but I don’t want to do that again when tonight no it was this morning bro it was 4 a.m. in the morning oh I saw you you were at some reveal party tonight no yeah so this morning at
4:00 a.m. I was at a watch party then 11:00 a.m. I was practicing my baseball skills and then 6:00 a.m. I went to the reveal gender uh gender reveal party man killing us with that background noise is it is it good now yeah yeah
It’s been it’s been a long day man so uh let me go around the room before I I end up uh closing the show that way I I that way I can get some sleep man I ain’t G to lie uh we we’ll start with you Joe uh
What are you looking forward to tomorrow uh against the Pacers man what is one specific player or thing you want to see I want to see on the on ball defender on Ty uh on halberton I want to see how we do with that because I think that’s a
Translatable skill that we’re going to need in the playoffs because you’re going to get really good guard play in the playoffs so whoever picks up Tyrese halberton and how we defend him is something I’m interested in seeing yeah that’s going be fun to see that’s what be fun to see does does
Anyone remember how the Lakers defended them in that in season Tournament game we need to do something like that bad that game they disrupting him I need go back and watch it um big J what you what you looking forward to tomorrow man and uh what’s what’s one thing uh that that
That you thinking about tomorrow like what you want to see what player anything man honestly man I just want to see a little bit more Hardy because I know he’s not going to probably get any burn tomorrow but I think in reference to what DV was talking about I think
You’re gonna see more of um I think it’s gonna be uh Josh guarding halberton and probably gonna see um PJ guarding um seak yeah does y’all think XM comes back tomorrow I think so I think they I heard he he’s ruled up but they said he should
Be they think he he’ll be back for Cleveland so that’s the next game yeah yeah he he’s on the road trip with us but he’s not playing in Indiana uh what about you DV what you what you got for tomorrow man what you what’s on on your mind for the m versus Pacers
Um I want to see well I want to see more the defense how we deal that they’re not the best offense right I want to see that how we obviously I know Luke and krie can can match the offense I want to see how we handle it defensively that’s
Why on this seon yeah I think they’re one of the best offenses right with Tyrese but is he still on minutes restriction I think he’s still on minut restriction injury he might be off it now not sure uh before we get the king I see you King
Uh Noah what you got for tomorrow bro what’s on your mind for the MS versus Pacers oh yes sir so like so like we are on a win streak but I do want to start off fast this time instead of slow then it’s like trying to come back and win I
Just want to start uh fastest game and and with the rotation I want to see the rotation with PJ Maxi on the four see how that goes because that rotation is pretty good so you know I’m glad you said both of those are real good points
Cuz we have kind of started a little slow with every game since uh we got the the trade minus the Thunder game every other game we kind of came out a little slow uh but I don’t know if you saw where Lucas stated the the lineup
Between him Kyrie PJ at the three CRA at the four and uh Gafford at the five you look at it like that’s a big ass lineup uh so so yeah that that’d be interesting to see man king what’s up King not much TK what up bro two things
Man two things I need you to to explain this free Bingo space of the Boston Celtics one and then uh uh let me know what you’re thinking about this Pacers and Mavs game tomorrow what you want to see tomorrow well I didn’t have much time I
Just wanted to H want to say a few things but I’ll answer those questions okay uh one wanted to say this is an excellent show K keep doing what you doing bro aome midnight madness madness we got a bunch of mad fans to be up at all crazy times just wantan math content
So shout out to you for doing that shout out to the IG gas everybody that’s talked uh DV Noah Joe Joe you already know DV Noah big J the homie out here showing off I wanted to say he was showing off talk about him letting everybody know what he all about but
That’s love big J you can always on play back to get a VIP pass I want to let you know that um you can watch the game you can decide who you want to mute and so on and so on but um yeah yeah I got you man just let me
Know man Johnny BB on one sometimes but you gotta have a skip Bist man you see how ESP work man yeah but um trying to take that Ro too yeah he tries to he tries to uh but TGK free bingo space Boston man um I don’t think we really realize I keep
Saying it how good we really are the talent is maybe one of the most talented teams in the NBA I really feel like the Mavericks have um Luke has always been that dude we always talk about him being the greatest equalizer he’s worth two guys two superstars in my opinion always
So really we got three Superstars and we have a guy that now eliminates other folks from uh just in general off the floor uh in PJ Washington we got Rim Runners with Luca we have Maxi CA that can play the five stretches in the fourth quarter um I don’t think
The Celtic can stop us bro I think EJ Washington decides between Jaylen Brown and jayen I’m sorry Jason Tatum who he wants to take out the game I think KP is GNA have a harder time he better make his threes to stretch the floor because if he not knocking down his threes he’s
Not going to get anything in the interior um and then I don’t think the Celtics can stop LCA Don and Kyrie Irving at all I I really think we have the best offense in the NBA and we already have one of the best offenses when Luca Don is just on the floor so
With him and Kyrie we have the best offense in the NBA I don’t think anybody can stop us and now we wanted the better off the better defensive team to n be I really believe that so with that combination and Luca dones and the kyri IR and like that’s Championship level
Teams so hey hey King will you preach to the congregation about those dogs oh I’ve already you know we got dogs like nobody’s G to be trying pun luk anymore because we got guys that are fight for like that’s just a different dimension people AR understanding what
This trade did this trade has literally put everybody in their place they’re playing with energy they’re loving playing their roles like I’m not afraid of anyone we can go big with Denver now with Minnesota like we can play whatever style another team wants to play and we’ll always have the best player
Because that’s what I believe in Luca so when you had that combination now was time for luuka to show he’s like Michael jordanish kind of like with kid has been saying so it’s all up the kid man playoffs is a different story I’m going be disappointed if we lose the series
Because of Jason kid but man if we just go on talent for talent man like we should beat anybody I don’t see anybody beating us four out of seven I don’t see it like that’s a hard thing to do against Luca Don if Kyrie’s healthy obviously health is a big thing we’ve
Been dealing with injuries all season but if we got a run man and we we help guys you know just as long as we should have as far as being out Jason K has given guys PT out the yyang we talk about that all all the time and um
Hopefully it’s for a reason so if that happens man like I really I’m not afraid of the Celtics we beat the the OKC Thunder we were worried about them we beat them it didn’t look like it was a problem we worried about the Phoenix Suns like not we may not be really
Worried about him because it’s it’s that rival we we talk about all we wanted to see if the Mavericks really were GNA do what they did and look the same way they looked and other games against the Phoenix Suns and they H the Phoenix Suns in check and that was probably their
Worst game they played in the stretch yeah so like I’m not worried about Boston Boston is going to be a next a next victim up like it is what it is and we’ll see what happens when the ball goes up in the playoffs when JK has makes adjustments
That’s all I’m worried about right now but thank you guys so much TGK like I said I don’t want to take too much of your time man thank you for letting me on it expressing my opinion and you guys are doing an awesome job man peace appreciate it
Bro oh yeah but uh I do want to say this about Denver I watch a lot of Denver and uh they have not been looking the same at all like they’re bench is like not not that good in the offseason they lost a lot of players like Bruce Bryan and
All that so I think we can and um and uh Jamal Murray might might get injured in the playoffs you know so I think we can beat I think we could beat Denver so I don’t think Denver is that big of a like a juggernaut well they they lost when they
Lost Bruce Brown that was their six-man with so that’s they haven’t replaced that at all this year that was a big loss big Los yeah and the the backup center doesn’t really obviously DJ and whoever else they have when yic is off the floor that team is
Cooked yeah I uh I mean you think of those lineups man and I know yic will probably you know out physical Lively or whatever the case may be and then then Gafford will be a little bit of a different pace but I I like the idea that we have cers
That could make it somewhat difficult for him you know as opposed to you’re running Dwight Powell out there it’s just a massive difference you know I think it it increases our chances to to win when you got centers that you go throw out there and and feel somewhat
Confident that they’re just not going to get bullied like uh anyone else that we would have thrown out there like a ran Holmes Dwight power even kba at least Mak at least make uh uh Jer work man that’s has easy games where he’s not even really taxed whenever he
Plays us here’s the other thing you know you can make him work on uh when he’s on offense but Luca he can make him work on defense ISO it up get yic out there in in coverage if you could do it because it just depends on the kind of pick and
Roll coverage right like if you going to pick and roll and and if he’s going to play Drop coverage then Luca could take advantage of that but if if he forces yic to come and guard him yes his best friend but look bro you need a
Championship you know like so I I could see him making yic work on both sides and tiring him out on on a on a different scale even Kyrie Kyrie could do it too you got two people here’s the beauty of it you got two people that can expose another like offensive Juggernaut
And make them work on both ends of the court and then you have your defense to make him work as like it it’s just I don’t bro I I I have to stop myself sometimes because I get so hyped because it’s like the team is is so well
Balanced now that you could do so many things in so many aspects like the game within the game that a lot of people don’t um reference the game within the game is so massive even from pickup to NBA the game within the game is so underrated and I think the Mavericks now
Can really take advantage of that game within the game yeah thank thank you Joe thank you but all right man I ain’t trying to keep y up here I uh I think what uh I’mma try to do moving forward is like you know I start at 10:30 go all the way to
12 I might I might do the last 30 minutes and just kind of open it up right I think that makes a little more sense as opposed to like the last 10 minutes thanks for doing the show tonight thanks for doing the show start we had a week off of allar
Breaks and we’ve only had one game it’s like I’m having MB withdrawals so I appreciate you taking care of us giving us our fits tonight yeah some content yeah everybody we got the pregame show tomorrow so so I’ve been trying to like not talk too much Indiana Pacers but uh
We got y’all tomorrow appreciate y’all hopping up here man I really do I appreciate everybody watching um and uh yeah man it’s been your boy TGK this is your Midnight Madness uh episode two hope hope you had a good one I’m about to jump in this bed and go straight to
Sleep but uh appreciate y’all man you have a good night all right you too y take adios amigos we let me answer a couple of comments right quick before I get up out of here uh Gina Kim says are you satisfied with the m rosters do you
Think we need one more piece I’m satisfied I think uh the the the ma main piece next year is going to be that four spot I think PJ could be your three who’s going to be in your four spot it shouldn’t be cber you got to find his
Replacement uh seems like the media and other fans can’t use old Luca narratives uh so to create new ones that don’t even make sense very true they they’re they’re they’re trying to find something uh Jen Kim said Boston game is a statement game I wonder what the
Narrative will be if the Mavs beat them and lukai goes off that game that’s a game where Luca has yet again proved he’s the best player and it’s on ESPN or ABC one of the two uh J Kim says yeah my nuggets have been underwhelming but I
Don’t even ever count them out a big concern for the Nuggets is their bench and health uh Richard case think about the g- league thing I will bro H that’s tough though man it’s already tough just covering the Mavs you know uh I’ll think of it I I it’s because there
Might be some changes coming up personally so I have to see how things look then but I I’ll I’ll get into it but uh salute the Big Jay man uh I’m GNA try to follow up with him on uh on those seats seeing seeing the game up close like that it’s completely
Different bro it’s fun uh good night and great show thank you thank you oh uh can you answer my question about Lively I want your opinion where is that question um where’s the question at uh Jun Kim should I think I think om no that’s not lively send it one more time J Kim now I answer and I’ll get up out of here or unless I find it I’m trying to see if I can find it now luai Booker r um I might have missed it might have
Missed it junim if you get that comment in before I head out I’ll answer it but I give you a couple of seconds dubs appreciate you DV I I need to I feel like I need to try to get like U you know like we talk M they have the
Trash can uh juice Emoji where you could utilize in the in the the chat I need to come up with some here you know come up with some cool I could use some kind of emoji but uh I don’t know I don’t know how to do that I’m going have to talk to
Real about that how to do that but again man appreciate y’all being here and uh say it’s a few comment above the one you just read all right Boston game Luca Revenge Game uh s roster create trying to find it Gina can there’s a lot of comments think omx will be important makes sense for Kai and Batman now that Luca and rivalry it’s not lively I might find it shortly will I find it oh I don’t think I’m finding it Gina
Kim is this it kind no no Lely in that either I can’t see or I’m just sleepy as hell you know what I’m saying uh who bullying the building what’s up hoop he say show your hair more you have nice hair appreciate it man I’ve been growing
It out bro all right here here’s where where is it at where’s that okay right normally I I rock this hat right normally I rock the hat for pregame shows the reason I’ve been rocking the hat is because when you’re trying to grow your hair out there’s that there’s that that
Point where like the hair is ugly or it looks ugly because it’s like it’s not long enough to like curl and it’s not short enough to look like it looks presentable so I’ve been rocking a hat just to let it grow where I don’t have to show it but right now it’s it’s
Presentable now so so we might see a little bit more uh Gina Kim says TGK are there any uh concerns for lively in the playoffs ah ah yes the awkward stage 1,000% there you go appreciate that I’m sleepy as hell man thank you uh are there any concerns for lively in the
Playoffs I was say yeah he’s a rookie he’s a rookie you know like think of it from from this perspective we’ve been relying on exom and Derrick Jones Jr and Lively as starters with Luca donic you know how crazy that sounds now looking at the team now now
The team is is now the team looks great but we started the season with relying on exom Dereck Jones Jr and a center 19-year-old Center a rookie 19-year-old center that is crazy when you think of Luca donic thankfully Lively mentally sounds like he’s 24 right like he has probably
Even older than that like he’s very mature for his age I think he’s going to be okay in the playoffs he’s gonna have some growing pains with certain moments because the competition is GNA be way better it’s gonna be even more difficult but as long as we can survive that first
Round I think he’s going to be good just like I think after the allar if you if you go back and look at some of my videos always said by the time we get the All-Star break we going to know what we have in Lively and boy do we know
What we have in Lively so yes there’s going to be consensual Lively because he is a rookie but I think the Mavericks now have a easy game plan like we have a easy game plan I think it’s real simple for him to know what his role is all he
Got to do is stick to it and I I don’t think there’s going to be that much pressure on him uh I asked are there any concerns uh we should have for the playoffs how do we think ly will play gotch you got you uh what do you think
Of the M’s new ownership I heard they raised ticket prices to 10% and there are Casino tycoons Nicks what a great comment and I totally forgot to talk about that that was a massive part of this week and I totally forgot D my fault man I stay on longer to talk
About it but then I would’t get to sleep I’ll save it for next week I’ll save it for next week I I’m gon write it in my notes let me write in my notes right now maths ticket prices because that’s always going to be a point of discussion
So it’s not like we’re missing something if I don’t talk about it now oh I gotta sneeze ah crap uh black nor says is live still the third most important player on the team oo it’s a great comment man oh man that’s great that is a great
Comment because I think of PJ Washington and the impact he can have guarding wings and the the the opposing team’s best player oh that is a great one because now you have a backup center that helps Lively so you kind of don’t need him to
Be the third best player I don’t know I hope I don’t sound crazy saying that I think PJ is the third and most important because if he goes out or if he’s not available your your Elite Defenders dwindle in comparison to what he could do so dang that I hope y y
Ain’t mad at me for saying I think PJ’s a now the third most important where Lively used to be I thought Lively was second most important at a certain point this season but I think Lively now is fourth for sure that don’t kill me uh Daniel says hopefully
The Maris continue this when she facts hope so too man I agree I think it depends on the matchup and also how do you feel about the Cavs game I saw some fans concerns uh will’ll lose well we’ll get there when we get there I a’t I ain’t trying to get too
Ahead but I think we’ll be all right tickets raised by 35% yeah that’s wild uh I’m glad I found real and king and you because I was trying to find math channels who speaks the truth and act like everything is all right with the
Team so thanks I no I thank you bro like I I I think just like you I I don’t I’ll say this before a head out I don’t like to think like my opinion is above anybody’s because it’s not I’m just a mass fan bro at the end of the day I’m
Mass fans I’m a math fan I love talking about the maths because they’re my favorite team bro I’m passionate about the math I was watching Dirk’s retirement speech like uh when he was in the last home game that he had like after the game where he
Starts talking I was was watching I was in my Fields bro cuz I never thought I would never see Dirk play for the Mavericks again and there I am watching this video where that was his last home game here I was at a bar watching that you know like it it’s different the
Mavericks are different for me bro and I live in Dallas you would think I’d be a Cowboys fanatic I am but Mavericks Cowboys Rangers Stars I’m just crazy about the Mavericks but it’s it’s my favorite team man I love the sport uh that slightly bias about him in P Jail
Uh or PJ jail for going two to 13 from the yeah that was hilarious man salute the slightly for that video hilarious dogs uh great show tjk I’mma head out thank you bro I’mma head out too man uh I’m also glad I found you I first
Watched you because you were on we talk mths keep grinding salute to we talk mths man this show these shows wouldn’t exist without we talk mths I’m always going I’m always going to give them flowers man salute to them um maybe Lely and gaff combine our third most cuz we need that Center
Still I I could rock with that I could rock with that I could rock or we could combine liuk Kai as one Gafford and Lively as two and PJ Washington as three that’s such a cop out way to do it right all right man it’s been your boy TGK
Appreciate y’all so much y’all have a good night get some rest catch y’all tomorrow at 3 pm central time for the Dallas Mavericks pregame show and I’ll head out with the Mavericks pregame show signature adios good night get some rest guys
