Also the fact the not forcing Maxi into lineups with other centers. Keeps speed as the space isn't shorten with Kleber being slow and forcing that next to a big with no jumpshot. Allows Grimes,Dinwiddie, PJ, and Naji to attack fast.
I swear y’all look for reasons to nitpick. They talked about Klay. This is a MAVS podcast. They’re going to talk about the entire team. Give it a rest Jesus.
Spencer Dinwiddie +24 setting the tone early attacking, getting to the FT line, timely buckets and driving + dishing to teammates getting them clean looks. Very impactful but undervalued lead Mavs guard.
And Mavs pretty hard match ups ahead during that period. It's really unfortunate, but i believe in them. If they really stay fully healthy for the second part of the season they will climb back up to atleast top 6
Grimes and Pj have a ton of chemistry and will carry the team while Luka and Kyrie are out! (I know it’s a tough schedule I’m just trying to be optimistic 🥲)
Great win by the Mavs. Gotta give Dinwiddie credit for how aggressively he started that second half. Help keep pressure and being able to attack the paint alive. PJ, Naji, and Hardy also had good games. Klay with the 3 point barrage at the end of the second quarter also shifted momentum. Lets also shout out Quentin Grimes tho. 23 points ,6 assist, 9 rebounds, 1 stl. Great basketball from him. Gotta give him an extension as the Mavs are 5-1 this season when Grimes has 20+ points. Great win by the Mavs.
If I was Grimes I wouldn’t sign shit until after the season. A good defensive player who can put up starter numbers? He had a real shot at a $15-$20 million contract on a team he can get 30-35 minutes a game. Why would you sign a role player contract behind Kyrie? Kidd is going to have to find him consistent minutes and Nico will have to find him real money or he’s going in free agency.
@SDesWriter He'll sit behind Klay not Kyrie but I get your point. Although 24-27 minutes a game with a pass maestro like Luka isn't much different than 30-35 minutes a game with whoever. But yes at the rate he is going he's earned 12.5+ million per year at this rate.
@@beastscale1892 Grimes is a shooting guard. He’s too small to play SF except against a handful of players. Offensively it doesn’t matter that much, although he does like to shoot above the break and in the corners, and he’s very limited in the paint. But a really good player in this offense. If he stays healthy putting up these numbers, I think he’ll be closer to $20 than $12. I wish the Mavs could have locked him up before the season, but I get that Naji was the first priority and I get Grimes believing he was worth more. Just have to hope winning solves problems and he looks at Kyrie and Klay nearing the end. He and Naji would look really good for the Mavs long term beside Luka and PJ & Lively.
@SDesWriter He'll still be SG. The Mavs roles change in lineups from offense to defense. Luka is listed as a Point Guard but matches up to SF/PF on corners and wings. Kyrie listed as SG but is a PG and usually matches up with other point guards on ball or SGs on the elbow/wing. Klay is listed as SF but is really a SG who either matches up on ball, switches, and has some match ups in the post vs SFs on a few occasions. The same would be for Grimes who will be an on ball defender or switch defender on the perimeter and elbow while Luka/Kyrie are hidden away from too many on ball tasks on the perimeter while being on the corner or wing.
Hey Nick and Slightly--whatever you do, DO NOT EVER recognize nor credit Spencer Dinwiddie; the guy who drove and dished for clean looks beyond getting his own, dishing to Hardy 3x threes, getting Naji his only wide open made jumpshot, and really the only getting and 1s getting to the FT line. That's the unspoken rule of this clan; no kudos to that man Dinwiddie but instead keep lobbying for Grimes, Hardy, and Marshall who are often the beneficiaries of Spencer's playmaking 😂
Freeze. It's not about ever given credit; read between the lines. It's about parity. Spence has been a dynamic engine for the team when given anywhere near the usage rate and reps of early 2023. He creates his own shot off the dribble, draws fouls, hits FTs, elevates the offense of his teammates hitting them on the money (yall railed PJ Washington's 3 pt % the early part of the year. Guess when he started drilling long range shots? When Dinwiddie kept driving and dishing to him for clean looks. His 3 pt % skyrocketed). Dinwiddie elevates the confidence of his teammates on offense with those crisp passes and clean looks. Not just praising his teammates for years during interviews. And he sets a good example of being available/ready to play despite visibly being injured all season (I am certain yall have noticed that device he uses on the bench against his quad/hamstring over and over all season). The best ability is availability. Something our supermax franchise guy should heed because he has been injured several games each and every one of his 7 seasons. Dinwiddie is a great leader and based on the way he plays/facilitates and talks about his teammates--seems like a genuinely good dude. So why do yall dump on him so much, undermine and mischaracterize his game & contributions/impact, and refuse to be objective and grasp the notion of parity? You can be 1,000% biased for Grimes and Naji (heck even Hardy), but that doesn't mean you should be anti-Spencer Dinwiddie/be a total unobjective jerk on your platform about him and leave him off the discourse. That's a bit junior high and yall seem too old for that. Why do you dislike Spence so much? Why the cognitive bias? What did he do to you? Go MAVS!
Hardy should be a designated spot up shooter. Still à defensive liability and Kidd can’t put the ball in his hands to make decisions, where he’s a disaster. Agree with Slightly! First game in months Hardy wasn’t of negative value.
I think Spencer wanted to show his dad what hes missing out on 🙂 I think he must start for Mavs, hes most solid playmaker when Kyrie and Luka are missing.. even with just Kyrie Spencer should be starting to move Kyrie to 2, which is better for Ky . Spence had most assists 8 and biggest plus/minus 24 on the team.. Probably there will be some bad nights, but its the best solution at the moment
@@dustinbarlow1623 were not talkiiing about the same game.. again best +/- of all Mavs +24 , most assists 8, compared to Hardys 2.. theyre not bringing the same things at all.. Hardy cant run Mavs offense , Spencer can.. its not a competition.. Hardy is best as a 2 guard when his shot is falling, as it was last night
Im happy for Dinwiddie. Now, he needs to play like that every game. Not going to lie, tho, we aren't going to play many teams that play that terrible on defense. Klay is an elite roll player!!
I need yall help. So Rumors are we are looking to trade grimes please let know if this is true? If kleber stays and don't get traded is a poor decision.
You can't call this roster the best since 2011 and then in the same breath say they can't win without Luka/Kyrie. We have been told all year how good the roster around them is so we should expect to be able to stay afloat without LuKai...
LuKai ain’t just 2 players. One is the NBAs all time greatest point producer per game. The other is One of the most efficient scoring guard in NBA history. So when you talk about those two, combined with the rest of team, that’s a ridiculous amount of talent
@ this is one of the best supporting casts in the league. They should still be able to win games. Especially against extremely short handed teams like Memphis.
So happy to have Klay here! He's doing EXACTLY what he was brought here to do and all this time LD and Kai are out, he's just getting better and more comfortable shooting 3s in the AAC. Love it!
At least/last it's a win... but the Lakers are badly coached and far from being as good as their current ranking could let you think. So I wait to see if we can start a winning streak.
Lakers sucks, JJ is terrible but it's his first season as a coach.... But ehy, so is it possible win games without Luka&Ky? I thought it's was not possible reading past comments video hahahahahaha. If Kidd avoid dumb mistakes and let play hot guys we have a chance even if we are limited right now. This roster is damn good, with a good coach it will rocks.
LOL AGAIN WITH US BEING THIS DEEP....PLUS PLAYERS PLAY ALL TYPE OF DIFF MINUTES OR NO MINUTES.... VARIOUS PLAYERS WILL PLAY GOOD OR BAD.... TONIGHT WE HIT 3s REALLY THAT SIMPLE
@LockedOnMavericks NOT MAD IF THE COMMENT STARTS WITH LOL THE POINT IS WITH AS MANY PLAYERS & LINE-UPS WE PLAY... INCONSISTENT PLAY FROM EVERYONE IS CONSISTENT
We actually had a good net rating 5 out with maxi last year too, the best net rating on our team during the back half win streak was the 5 out. And you need a 5 out to combat the thunder. Mavs fans are emotional.
@Velveteenvision When that 40 YO is the greatest ever to play and possibly a top 5 player in the league at an advanced age!! Yes!! Luka could learn so much from Bron and make him become an MVP. 🦄
What's 1 reason the Mavs beat the Lakers?
The classic Jason Kidd Small ball is underrated. It worked really well again tonight.
@@jlavigne1155 what about the million times it didn't work... 🤣
@republicofcasuals that'd be an overstatement
Grimes
Also the fact the not forcing Maxi into lineups with other centers. Keeps speed as the space isn't shorten with Kleber being slow and forcing that next to a big with no jumpshot. Allows Grimes,Dinwiddie, PJ, and Naji to attack fast.
Give Klay his flowers. He ignited the Mavs run with his successive three 3-pointers. After that the Mavs never looked back. Nobody ever mentions Klay.
Well he should be more strategic - 3 in the 4th quarter
I swear y’all look for reasons to nitpick. They talked about Klay. This is a MAVS podcast. They’re going to talk about the entire team. Give it a rest Jesus.
They literally talked about him for a couple minutes.
@@reececisneros1622op is probably referring to the fanbase
@@natashakuzmanoska9656yes, strategic and aggressive. I liked Klays shot selection and his aggressiveness on the offensive end last night.
Lukai goated cheerleaders
Spencer Dinwiddie +24 setting the tone early attacking, getting to the FT line, timely buckets and driving + dishing to teammates getting them clean looks. Very impactful but undervalued lead Mavs guard.
Luka and Kyrie best duo even on the bench 😂 great cheerleaders they were hype all game
Playing hard still works. Loved how they hunted matchup to gain advantages.
Can’t wait until we are healthy. Grimes and PJ were awesome
Won't be anytime soon unfortunately. Earliest Luka can play is post-All Star 😭
And Mavs pretty hard match ups ahead during that period. It's really unfortunate, but i believe in them. If they really stay fully healthy for the second part of the season they will climb back up to atleast top 6

@@OneWingedAngelsBand u seen that video of Luka walking yesterday? That’s all I needa know, we winning that chip 😭🙏🏾
Ain't no way this team pulled off such a convincing win!
PJ laughing at the other team is a highlight every game, love it

Go MAVS!
Much needed
Nick always has good jackets
This one is an Isaac Harris Original!
Man I hope they can keep pulling wins out like this until the team is hopefully healthy again
Finally a win, what a relief 🙆♂
Hardy should be a designated spot up shooter. Still à defensive liability and Kidd can’t put the ball in his hands to make decisions, where he’s a disaster. Agree with Slightly! First game in months Hardy wasn’t of negative value.
They are in every game and they’re going through the toughest stretch of the schedule. Just stay afloat. We ride in April!

You and me both brother 😂
I needed this!
Kidd outclassed JJ. Simple as that
He outcoached a podcaster

Gotta lock up grimes
Once the mavs know never to sit klay once he’s hot they’ll be a scary team
Portland,2 Denver games and Nola.
3-1 would be amazing
When slightly said no snow only ice i felt that in my texan core.
Luka and Kyrie should be on the sidelines until they come back from their injuries. Their presence even off the bench was huge.
Yes agreed. Just their presence and cheering for the team seemed to give them energy, extra motivation and confidence to win
nice jacket, Nick
Thank Isaac for getting them made!
Make or miss league. Overall good shooting
MAVS WIN! MAVS WIN!🏀💙
Reggie Miller gets the MVP. He was working overtime to sell the TV audience amazing Lakers basketball.
gag worthy 🤮 esp Lebron lol
Reggie was out of his seat cheering a mediocre dunk by Lbron.
I will continue to say this. Nick, please stop interrupting Slightly. Please. Love this show just please.
You noticed that too ??😁
Sometimes I feel sorry for Slightly, as he barely have no room to speak.
Let him cook!
I need yall help. So Rumors are we are looking to trade grimes please let know if this is true? If kleber stays and don't get traded is a poor decision.
Let it rideeeeee
No timeline for Exum yet? last thing i knew that it was 3 month recovery.
Sign QG!!!
LESSS GOOO
Chuck was right about JJ LOL
"you can't put no makeup on that pig" 😂😂😂😂😂
Why can't these guys be more consistent without Kyrie and Luka .. so easy to blame the best players ..
Because they’re Role Players. Inconsistent is kind of in the definition.
Nick, I’ve noticed you’re now rocking that locked on Mavs x Carhartt fleece, can u leave some women for the rest of us please?
Sorry but for the last five games when comparing scoring to efficiency to minutes played, Dinwiddie should not be playing over Hardy.
Watching Lebron play ole defense is just a joy 🙂

no Kyrie no Luka no problem
Im still pessimistic. Too many injuries.
Nah man stop letting that music ride.. 😂.. bring back the old music and let that ride
