@@HoopsFinityGreat question, and and I think there's a second part to it: while they're burning all that mental and physical energy trying to lock down the most unstoppable duo in the league, plus the lob/dunk fest of the Mavs, how much energy are the Clips going to have to get much done on offense for a 7 game series?
Imagine how different the ratings would look if Brother Irving hadnt been injured. May the Lord protect the Mavs. Show the league/haters your Number 1.
Imagine if we're as healthy as the thunder. The thunder who has high draft picks albeit young. Glorified grizzlies when Ja and them were winning all these games. FOh. Sick of that narrative
If the NBA had better leadership, they wouldn't allow the media to maintain such an objectively bad take on one of its biggest stars. They should be promoting him.
@@rep227 well you clearly don’t watch Luka and are just repeating asinine things that Stephanie A. Smith says… The best play of the year is Luka playing defense… Take your trash takes and I hope SGA last long enough in these playoffs to let Luka drop 50 directly on SGA’s “defense”…
@@rep227 “+/-“… hmmm you picking MVP off plus/minus… i knew you were a GD 🤡… So the guy playing with different dudes every night vs the guy playing with dudes for years… Is penalized for dragging his subpar team into the 5th spot? Get tha F outa here with your St F’in nonsense clown boi…
I've been saying this for a while. In team building, the absolute hardest thing to accomplish is to get a pair of superstars. You usually have to draft them or have a slew of first round picks & some young talent to trade. Signing one in free agency, especially if you aren't in a big market city, is extremely hard. The Mavs drafted Luka, and they "bought low" on a troubled superstar in Kyrie. If it wasn't a gamble, they wouldn't have gotten him for ONE first round pick, Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney Smith, and a pair of seconds. Just look what Utah got for Gobert & Mitchell. When you have your two stars, you then have to ask yourself what are their weaknesses? I would say Kyrie's weaknesses are lack of size and weaker defense. I would say Luka's main weakness is his lackluster defense, not being "athletic," and has to be ball dominant. What is the overall team's weak point after that? Rebounding & Rim Defense. Now go out & get players to compliment those weaknesses. They drafted Lively & traded for Gafford. Both players have size, atletism,and defense and thrive catching lobs from your two stars. They can grab boards & defend the rim. Biggest team need is fixed. What kind of players compliment Luka & Kyrie best? 3&D athletic forwards. They went out & signed Derrick Jones Jr & traded for PJ Washington. Both are athletic forwards, versatile enough to gaurd multiple positions, and good enough 3pt shooting to demand attention when they stretch the floor. They also signed Exum is another 3 & D guard with ball-handling abilities. When all these guys start clicking, with solid role players like Tim Hardaway Jr, Josh Green, Maxi Kleber, & Jaden Hardy, the Mavs are going to be tough for a lot of teams to beat. In my opinion they are one piece away from being feared title contenders. They need a wing player like OG Anunoby, Herb Jones, Mikal Bridges, Keegan Murray, etc who excel at defense would fit perfectly as the team's third scoring option.
Let’s be real, the Luka/Kyrie experiment was not really working up until the Mavs acquired Gafford and Washington. Anyone who tells you differently hasn’t been watching mavs games. Mavs fans are excited because finally, after two years, this team has finally figured it out over the past twenty or so games.
Kyrie was just the first piece. How can any team run without a solid front of big men? It was a plan and a process orchestrated by Nico Harrison. You can’t just go pick up 4 good players randomly. Good things take time especially when you’re putting a well rounded nba team together. The plan worked and is working even with so many injuries
@@brookemonroe618 Are you saying Kyrie and Luka were fitting together well prior to Kyrie’s injury? I would like to hear you try to justify that argument given that we were in the lower half of the western conference prior to the trades and Kyrie’s return. If you can’t justify it then my initial comment stands. We didn’t even make the playoffs with Kyrie last year!
I’d let OKC win tonight if I’m the Mavs. Of the three teams jockeying for first place in the West, I feel like OKC is the least threatening of them all and right now they’re the #1 seed. Keep them there! 👍
Its pretty obvious think abt it, they were a conference finals team that CHOOSE to miss the better to add depth. Since that conference finals they added kyrie, lively, gafford, etc
The problem is when you have two weak defensive players you need to surround them by 2-way players that are very strong on the defensive end. The Mavs have address these problem plus other role players are more developed at this point in their career than prior
As this is the first video I’ve seen from you i must say, This was a very well put together video! Very easy to follow and understand and informative. It flows well and i even learned a lot about some players i didn’t even know were such a factor! This was great! Definitely subbing for more!
All right now as a Dallas Mavericks fan who got see two games this season youre getting me hyped as hell about my Dallas Mavericks making it to the championship!! MFFL
Nuggets aren’t that great. Mavs will expose them and MPJ and Murray are defensive liabilities.. especially Murray. Trust me, Mavs will expose this issue. 💯
A healthy clippers team and a motivated confident Russ scare the bejesus out of me. Not have Kwahi will be a problem and I wanted to get revenge from the clippers anyways. Should be a damn good series.
STAY HEALTHY AND THEY CAN SHUT THE HOUSE DOWN. GAFF AND PJ WASH BOTH FEARLESS. THJ AND EXUM ADJUSTING TO ROLES AND DJJ IS AN UNDERRATED DEFENDER AND PASSER. LONG WAY TO GO BUT THIS IS A SCARY TEAM IN THE MAKING
the thing about the mavs is, you got a really skilled team who all have a strong bond and chemistry with each other, they listen and respect their coach, and they’re humble and focused. they encourage their role players through thick and thin. that will take them very far
Please don't show clips of ESPN basketball "analyst". I come here specifically to get away from that garbage and I don't like to be reminded that they actually exist.
They will get their rest. The playoffs starts in a weeks time. don't know what you are on about? Mavs should beat the Clippers first before the fans start thinking about WCF.
1:09 “Kyrie who’s been the main man most of his career”…what career? Which Kyrie? When has Kyrie been the main man? 3 seasons under Lebron, 3 years under KD, 2 years under Luka. Kyrie has been the main man once in Cleveland and once in Boston. He’s been the 2nd option MOST of his career and damn near every team he’s been on.
okay? I can tell you've never done anything competetive in your life. this isn't a dc comic book where its one man versus the world (american mindset : superman, batman, aquaman, Man etc) its a team game.... have you ever done a job and one person is brilliant and the other teammates are average? you don't go far and the brilliant person gets exhausted. Get a couple of brilliant people together and the skys the limit.... Get off your keyboard and go live life lmaooo
@@RafaelangeloDeNazareth Kyrie was a total f***ing loser in Boston. 1st year the young stars went all the way to ECF without him (injured). 2nd year he was a massive egotistical a$$hole, ball hogged and hindered more than helped. "led" the Celtics to a 2nd round FAIL. facts: Cs were better without him! thought he was the only man (avg. 21.4 pts & +/- of -14) ... was never the main man ... then he f***ed off to Brooklyn for another disaster.
That's the Lakers problem, they wont get a big man. Same with the warriors. You need a defensive big man. You guys have tons of players that can score. But no big man
Imagine Joke having a Partner of Kyrie Caliber it would be Game Over next 5 Years, in the End of the Day Balkans Region gooing to have 5 out 6 Possible last MVP no matter what The Balkans winnning :)
If you've never played ball and won championships, you have to have roll players!!! Plain and simple....I owned a semi-pro team in my 20's and 30's....we ran off 28 championships in a row!!!! I would give the 7 foot trophies to my uncle and when we had a couple hours until our next game.....his wife would make us lunch ...and we would sit and I would say......look that's what we did!!! His entire living room was filled with trophies!!!
The only thing i dont understand why in the hell are they spiking the ball into the 3rd row on a block? Just tap it gently to your teamate and keep the ball......
@@Davidstone568 and what message would that be? Here's another chance to score on us? Because thats what you're doing spiking the ball out of bounce. You give your opponent a second chance :D
11 days later: clippers vs mavs is already a minimum 6-game series & looking like 7. the mavs probably ain't winning against OKC, but let's say they figure out a way, it will take 7 games. the mavs ceiling in 2024 is the WCF, they won't get passed the nuggets or the wolves (the other western semis).
Mavericks just look to good but I lol remain humble. But we’re like that believe that. We have two players who avg over 25 and 30 best duo in the league best clutch team in the league. Top 10 defense top 10 offense and top 10 3 point team It’s really insane. We’re number one in defense since then also. And top 1-4 in offense shit us crazy and Pj can go for 30 and gaffers can for for 25-30 and thj can go for 15-30 lol any given night you can get blown tf out.
i done with the mvp for luka ill face it jokic will get the mvp ,but not even NBA first team shit nba... oh and duh jokic is a center center has most % to grab more rebounds than point guard/guard but maybe because he's is been most disrespected all this time luka will shut em up by winning the chip this year
it’s different now kyrie accepted the Robin role unlike the time when he was with Bron, but if he accepted the Robin role with Bron they can get 3-4 Rings 2 of the rings maybe he can be the Fmvp😢
Kyrie was disrespected and underappreciated being brons sidekick. Kyrie is just balling, that's it. None of the bs narrative and a supportive team environment.
