Gafford looking like a prime Tyson Chandler in that uniform....They both are AMAZING additions
We have two tyson chandler now
Fr bro man.. and lively too
I didn’t realize how good the mavs announcer is
He has done some World Cup and college football games for Fox. No disrespect to Burkart but Mark Followill (Mavs announcer) should be the number one play by play guy for Fox during the NFL season with Greg Olson, Tom Brady and Erin Andrews. I would love to see Followill call Dallas Cowboy games.
Followill, Harp and Wade are one of the best commentary crews in the league
He's so good bro
@@yamchimovits9227 Followill is the goat! “skin” and harp are horrible down right bad commentators
Followill is a hometown legend already. Dude was born for this
As a bulls fan it’s really nice to see Gafford on a competitive team that can utilize his talent
I admit i dont Like Bulls(rivaly reason) but i really fell bad for yall, that FO is full of retarded people Butler, Laury and now Gafford, good luck🙏🙏🙏
Yeah, I was happy for him.
And DJJ too... 🎉
They both had a great Mavs debut. Hoping we see a lot more of this. Finally a center that Mavs needed
He was going to waste in Washington. But now he is with Washington and they are happy.
Instant chemistry with new guys, i like it!
Gafford highlights are actually insane Luka assist numbers gonna go sky high
Fr if Luka had Gafford his whole career he'd prolly average 12 assists per game on God
We will win the chip if we stay healthy i see Mavs in 6 vs Knicks

@@Adj8llkI see them in finals too but I see Knicks in 7
@@CARBONHAWK1 I CANT WE GONNA WIN IT ALL IF WE HEALTHY
Finally two guys that can rebound and score 🙌 👏
Gafford is an ok rebounder. Below average defender. Great finisher around the rim though. He's been a top 10 FG% guy for a few years now.
@@jsnell126idk man, i wouldn't call him a below average defender. He is one of the best shot blockers in the league and also is great at contesting. Also you have to consider that he has been playing for bad teams his whole career up to this point. If he really plays like that, he's 100% an above average defender, if not more.
And an okay rebounder? He's a solid defensive rebounder and a really good offensive rebounder.
So overall i think it's a perfect fit for the Mavs...
@@jsnell126nah bro finna get dummy rebounds in the west wit all da slim bigs like Chet
@@nizzle3926 Agreed. Even if he was a "below average defender", it's refreshing to see someone who at least tries so hard to grab all the rebounds, contest shots, and go for blocks. That energy is just contagious
@@jsnell126lol he got 17 rebounds this game lol
Going from Luka leading an injured depleted mavs squad to THIS is absolutely ridiculous! Beautiful game today.

@@flamewolf5156
That is indeed, a crazy statline.
So happy for Gafford, finally will get his recogniction, and will enjoy playing basketball again.
Both of their first points came from Luka's lob is fitting.
Well first basket yea but pj got his point off a free throw
It's interesting how so many of both newcomer's points came off of Luka's assists or hockey assists!
Gafford was playing with Poole, and Washington was without Lamelo. This must be heaven for them!
DALLAS MAVERICKS ARE 2024 NBA CHAMPIONS
We wish that happen🎉
Cap
Not yet bro , but it’s a good start. Don’t jinx my Mavs 😂
As a Mavs fan i hate these type of posts. Be humble you dumb fool. We were blessed with a historical Suns humble moment. Don't jinx the Mavs
@Cryptonicmx lol right , jerry PAY attention you gotta make those trades and deals to improve and not settle if you " wanna go all in " smh but let's go mavs hopefully they build of this and keep it going
*THAT IS THE MOST OUTSTANDING DEBUT I'VE SEEN IN THIS LIFETIME!! LETS GO MAVS!! LUKA IS GONNA BE SO HAPPY PLAYING WITH THIS TEAM!!❤*
Some big time additions for the Mavs, no one else really made moves either while they got much better imo. They knocking some teams off in the playoffs
Damn PJ Washington looks like he’s in phenomenal shape. The Mavericks are going to be hard to beat.
i agree
That Gafford-Luka combo about to be 🔥
THIS IS WITH NO CHEMISTRY, IMAGINE THIS IN ABOUT 10-15 MORE GAMES 😮 GONNA BE SCARY HOURS IN DALLAS 😢🔥
Ohh man I hope so brother everytime I think I'm over that chokeboys game something new comes up too much drama even after the loss but hopefully the mavs can give something to the dfw to cheer about again
DG is Real Big-man
I think with the quality in depth they now have, luka is looking to be top scorer, top assister and be top 5 seed to get MVP
Impressive duo 👀🔥. A center and small forward dominated clearly OKC. Dallas Mavericks really needed that energy.
This a superteam lowkey 👀
It highkey isn't 👀
Athleticism and talent through the roof
Lakers sign diwindie 😂😂😂
@@adeyemosimon1523 I know 😄, every team is looking like a superteam now
No, I don't see it's a superteam. They just have a good team chemistry. They embrace their every role and Luke and Kai let it roll.
gafford always play high energy 💪🏽
So pumped they have Lively, Gafford and PJ now good bigs, I remember last season and many seasons before when they only had Dwight Powell😭
You forgot kleber
Totally agree..their weakness is at the center..teams just keeps banging them years ago..now they have a legit center!
took them 6 years off lukas career to finally realize they need a big man 💀
@@clover8778 Kleiber is serviceable, but not as a starter. I don't mind him as a third string center or a stretch 5 on specific situations.
MAXI also have 10 rebounds this game 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lots BIG GUYS that healthy what MAVERICK needs
Gafford is gonna flourish with luka and luka is gonna average more assists. Mfer score 19 on his mavs debut eventhough their were two nba greats playing alongside him. Gafford must be loving it.
Not to mention in only 17 min
And he only played 17 mins😭
Nah Luka gonna be hopefully averaging lower numbers, because he won't need to hard carry. Expecting any dude to average a damn near 40 point triple double on 38 minutes per games without any load management is insane. We know Luka can do it, it's just not fair to expect that from anyone let alone a 24 white less athletic dude from Slovenia
@@johnwild8217 Luka had like 35/9/7 and his average went DOWN lmao.
He only played 30 minutes. First time in 4 games he's played less than 40.
@@toob_noob4381 Thats what Ive said, because in reality Luka can easily average a 40 point triple double if he played 40 minutes so a solid 30+ 9 9 game in 30 minutes is awesome to see
The way green boxed out/hockey checked Lu so Gafford could dunk was why he is a unique player. I’m so glad we held onto him
Fr, NGL I thought Nico overpaid his extension. Turns out he lives up to his huge bag so far. Long may it continues
@@TunjungUtomo I just saw he’s shooting 47% on corner 3s in the last 15 games.
the rebounding ability is so reliable. This is what the MAVS need. Kyrie and Luka will orchestrate the plays with smoothness,
Loving the vibe of Gafford and PJ! 😄💪💯💯💯
This is the game where I knew we were going far. Now one more win until the finals! Wow!!
Fr bruh i said if we wanted to be a title contending team we would have to make multiple trades without loosing height if we had kept that same team b4 the deadline we would’ve been first round exits
So happy for Gafford, I always knew he has potential, hes gonna be happy playing in Dallas getting lots of touches.
and from that day on, they dominated
Gafford playing for the Mavs is gon be crazy
They were awesome!
As a long time mavs fans. this is what we need a solid bigs after getting lively and now washington and gafford, goodluck NBA . luka at 1st half and 4th quarter Kai, This is a legit contender
HERE WE GO BOYS WE READY FOR THAT CHAMPIONSHIP 🤙
As luka said, he has been waiting for 3 yrs for a good backup center, damn scary times for the mavs
The Bulls really pooped the bed letting Gafford go 🤦🏽♂️
😂😂😂😂
Like most of our draft picks in the last 5 years at least.
He's one of those players that I don't get why the bulls traded.
I imagine the Bulls front office looking at Carter Jr. Markkanen and Gafford and thinking what could have been had they've been patient enough
@@jaybee5315 😂😂😂😂💯💯💯💯
Congrats on the win/moves dallas. Bad day to be an OKC fan. #thunderup
Please, please, please, please do not give Maxi and Dwight more mins than Gafford PLEASE.
Maxi is legit.
Gafford will get more mins as time goes but now that the Mavs have more option some pressure will be offloaded from Maxi and I think he will perform better as well
maxi finally does no tave to play the 5 no more, at the 4 he is an amazing help defender
@@jonpetter8921Yeah and we won't need to play him that many minutes at the 5 too. Will probably help with him staying healthy.
Exactly 12 and 12 today last game 4 blocks @jonpetter8921
I remember watching this game and being like👀 we’re different now. Four more to the ultimate goal.
This team just got scary good. One of the best backcourts in the NBA and now upgrades at the SF & PF/C postion. PJ and Gafford gonna get the easiest points of their career on the Mavs, expecting a deep play-off run 🙏
I believe in my heart Dallas will reach The Finals this year... I have the same hunch I had in 2011
good thinking!
Those long passes 😭 goddamn so beautiful
Luka didn't even need to play in the 4th quarter. Crazy.
This is exactly what Mr. Magic was missing….the mavs offensive power is now unleashed….
exactly if we want go deep in the playoff with definitely need to go deep on our roosters, and it starts to looking good 🎉🎉
Mavs fans will love Gafford. He plays hard every game. When we got him on the Wizards back in 2021, we made a run and reached the Playoffs. He played very well with Westbrook. Now, he's paired with one of the best offensive players in the league. He's going to feast with Luka.
2:00 thats why they sign him!! lets goooo
Luka getting two additional lob targets must feel like he´s in Disneyland
Gafford was my favorite since while.
But didn't expect so good in Mavs.
i love the enegy he brought to court.
Gafford is a beast
If this team stays healthy they can win a championship, PJ and Gafford are perfect fits.

Dont listen to lot of pretender nba analyst that dallas made a wrong decision to exchange these guys for 1st round picks on trade deadline. 1st round picks are for rebuilding teams only, and luka is in mvp and... championship mode now, so you should support him the needed players now. Great job gm harrison.
Don't worry, we Dallas fans definitely know it was an exceptional trades and it immediately shows.
The picks can't replace 'now' talent. Nico was genius for risking it
Well Grant Williams was great at the start too so lets not jump to conclusions too early, I think that Gafford trade was a steal for sure, but I feel like we gave up too much for PJ Washington, but I hope he proves me wrong. Either way its a good couple of days to be a Mavs fan.
so fn happy for the mavs. they flipped grant williams/richaun holmes for pj washington/gafford. tell me which duo you'd rather have
WE IN THE FINALS NOW BABY JUST HAD TO THROW BACK TO WHEN IT ALL CHANGED
I can't take off this smile from my face
1:35 Beautiful ball movement all around. Reminds me of Warriors championship era
As a Mavs fan this was so nice to watch. Gafford got me hype asf
GAFFORD remind me K-MART, the energy and body language. LUKA finally get the help he was asking for. 🔥
This was a good freaking Game.
0:40 DAMN that's from PJ! That dunk was insane
I want to see a Luka, Exum, DJJ, PJ and Gafford on some defensive possessions.
PJ Washington is playing without emotion. I like it! 😂
Lakers needed Gafford man. Great pick up by Dallas
Lakers cant get everyone, Dallas needed a decent center since the beginning of Luka’s NBA career so I’m glad we finally have 2 of them. Lively is just too injury prone and inexperienced to be a starting center IMO.
Whoo boy Gafford is a big fella
It's ridiculous how players are improving when they're playing with Luka, Luka4MVP
I was rooting for gafford to be in dallas since his time with the bulls. Really good fit with luka
This team is now called: A problem!
the end of the 3rd quarter offensive rebound hyped me up
Lively gets back in, Mavs are locked as a top 4 team in the NBA.
Yup!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO MAVSSSSSS
not going to lie im so happy for washington and gafford and dallas has a real shot to win the west with new additions.
Luka and Ky might actually get this chip…
EXCITING!!!!!🎉
Dallas bout to go off
ITS SO NICE SEEING DALLAS HAVE BIGS WHO CAK DUNK THE BALL NOW THEY CAN STOP PLAYING YOU KNOW WHO!!!!🎉🎉🎉
ESPN yesterday - "Mavericks are the losers of the trade deadline"
You're lying. They said Dallas are the biggest winners.
@@theemotionalremixlike what 😂
Yeah those "analysts" from ESPN are a bunch of clowns 🤡
@@pre2222 you can search it up yourself. ESPN actually praised Dallas for being the winners of the trade deadline. The original comment made by @zeyork7297 is a lie.
bobby marks had dallas as the winner of the trade deadline
Now we are talking , let's go mavs!
Scary Mavs. If the Warriors get these players instead they will be good too but this is primetime in Dallas.
This is beautiful
With those Luka going to average 20 dimes
1:05 Gafford wanted to take the rim down with all his power 😎 He is now a Maverick...
Last time mavs had a center this good was in 2011 with Tyson Chandler. Their rebound potential just skyrocketted.
I wanna see Mavs vs Nuggets WCF!
Gafford had Poole never received passes like this 😮so now dude is gonna eat with Luka
He had Tyus Jones*
I’m back here because this is the second round matchup I wanted !
Fak yeee! Luka, take these guys to victory, they are here to give it all!!!
and someone said our trades on deadline is a failure. lul is just one game but u already see they doing the basics right and finding the luka and co passes and adding size in the paint.
1 more win and they're going to the NBA Finals!!!
Luka first ring?
nd kyrie with d 2nd ring?
@@kwnrvagrsr217 yep
I dont think this is the year, but I see them going deep in the playoffs. I think next year Luka will get mvp and finals mvp when all players get healthy.
The Dallas has been so bad in rebounding that when Gafford got his first offensive rebound it totally got the game narrator by surprise you can feel and hear the change in his voice on the play 😂
Mavs can win a ring if they commit to defense, they have all the scoring, playmakers and outside shooting they need!
We got an actual 2 young good center that actually good at rebounding 😭😭
I am a lakers fan BUT THE DALLAS GM WAS SO NICE. THATS THE LAKERS WE NEED LIKE 2 BIG MAN. DAMN DALLAS S GOOD
I wasn’t really a fan of Dallas’ trade deadline. But I think I was wrong. These are two guys that fit Luka really well. I think they were more doubles rather than a home run but hitting doubles constantly is ok. Lol
Showtime
0:36 That pass to PJ was sick 😵
