Gafford's strength and Lively's height give Mavs solid 48 minutes of center play. So grateful for that after watching Dwight Powell getting killed in the past few seasons.
Kleber and Powell are the 2 worst bigs in the league. I'm thankful to have the Landlord and young Dlive with the team thats for sure!!
@rigelorquia6384 Klebers 3 ball has recently been cooked, but he can be a useful stretch 4/5 + decent shot blocker if he ever comes back to normalcy.
Gafford and lively provide some similar things but gaffords lob threat and rim finishing mixed with lively's short roll passing ability and IQ make the usual blitz luka strategy completely null.
@@anikalra1427 Powell (Mavs) and McGee (Kings) came in during "garbage" time. Last year they were the Mavs #1 and #2 centers. What a difference a year makes.
If Daniel Gafford is "The Landlord," does that make Dwight Powell "The Squatter?"
Legler believing in the Mavs on national TV, thank you very much. Best Non-Mavs-Podcast.
As a Mavs fan this is by far my fav podcast now!!! Gallagher and Legs been believing in the squad
I like Leg's as an analyst. He's very thorough and gives fair criticism.
great to fly under radar though, ala Heat recent seasons...GOTTA keep chip on shoulder too!
It’s refreshing to hear real basketball people talk about the Mavs instead of the national media who just repeat the same non sense all the time
You mean that they are threat and Irving may be the Batman?
Luka went nuclear for 2Q’s, Kyrie went Batman in the second half, Gaff and Lively went super smash bros. PJ had Sabonis in PJail. Life is good.
Luka only a couple minutes in the 3rd
Shoutout to Tim Legler for believing with Dallas since the deadline. He never change his stand with the Mavs even though they were struggiling before this 9-1 run he stayed with his take and believe with the Mavs
Legs is imho the best and most REAL analyst on tv
And he knows how to pronounce successful. No offense to Perk or his fans but for the love of god please just find another way to say it. Get a thesaurus. C’mon man, I’m from Alabama and even I could do better if someone was paying me to talk.
For real, no BS, actualy watching the games and good analysis. Basicly only analyst that saw what every mavs fan did. The team that clearly lacked size and athleticism in the frontcourt getting exactly that at the trade deadline, even if not in form of some superstars. Mavs are legit as long as KIdd does not troll with lineups and defensive schemes.
Legler and JJ Redick are by far the best, the rest especially from ESPN are just clowns that don't have clue.
Legs is the MVP of nba commentators.
Luka the mvp. We need more people in the media pushing this.
The difference was Lively dominating the paint in the 3rd quarter. Sabonis got locked down multiple times.
Gafford and Lively II in the middle and Exum as the third ball handler has completely transformed this Mavs team from pretender to contender. Washington's length, defense and rebounding just adds to this amazing turnaround.
I never thought Exum would have such an impact, when we picked him up. I kinda figured he would be around Frank's level of play.
@@ClanDWoolz....me to. He's been so much better and we're all much happier because of it.
PJailed Sabonis and locked him for 12 points only.
@@larrybrown9883 Hell yea
Don't forget Derrick Jones Jr starting at the 3 and Green who isn't ban yet. Mavs are loaded.
Just a reminder ESPN gave Dallas a 'D' for the Kyrie trade, resigning Kyrie, and for the Gafford/PJ trade. I appreciate Legs because nobody knows the Mavs less than whoever is writing for ESPN. It takes a lot to be that wrong
Tim McMahon covers Mavs. Not the brightest.
It is impossible to express how much mavs fans love Tim Legler!!!
Boom! Luka doesn't fit ESPNs agenda.
Finally! A podcast that acknowledges the Mavericks and their legitimate chances at making a run!
With an expert with actual equity and ball knowledge who no one in the media can question
No one was talking about the Mavs 2011 before the playoffs 😂. They were the underdog.
Mavs winning with Defense, what all my hopes and dreams are made of.
As a Luka and Mavs fan I was so hyped for the win. But I was also happy we made Tim proud. I was embarrassed on behalf of the team during our rough stretch, but we are back baby.
finally someone who actually watches the games. subscribed
Gafford never misses buckets. He is a pretty good passer too.
I universally love anything Tim has to say about basketball, always a great take
Tim legler best analitic on espn 100%
Him an JJ Redick, especially when they are together pure gold Basketball analysis, the rest is trash.
The 🏀 community eating good because of y'all. 💪🏾
BIG SHOUT OUT TO LEGS ON CALLING OUT LABRONS ANKLE “INJURY”
What's funny is Luca didn't have an eye-popping night lol. Look at the first half he had 26 points like six assists in like eight rebounds already. He didn't need to do anything in the second half. Like he had 26 at the half...
He didn’t play in the 4th.
@@Pjdmffl And in the third he didnt even try
He should never have an eye popping night. That would be selfish being a ball hog. Now other teammates can contribute and they win this way.
@@plumeria66 That is not true. For some teams and at certain games everything is going to be very difficult for everyone except for the superstars. And it is at those moment when you have to pop off and bright if you are special in order to win those games. We could mention a list of the best players in NBA history that are able to make that difference and Luka is among those names.
@plumeria66 umm that's not right to say. SOMETIMES, especially ON THE ROAD, especially IN THE PLAYOFFS, you need stars to be stars. People need to stop saying he is a ball hog, his passes have litterally been in THE TOP THREE in misses IN THE NBA. Until this year HE NEVER had a legit lon threat to get easy baskets, and now he has 2. He was hold the ball for a ton EARLIER THIS SEASON, because KYRIE missed 22 games, GREEN has missed 24 and counting, EXUM missed 2 months, LIVELY missed 2 weeks. They never HAD this team UNTIL the deadline, and they haven't had any LUCK with health until RECENTLY. As a matter of fact they just hit over 150 possessions with ANY STARTING LINEUP. Health and Chemistry matter. Funny thing is just look at the standings. The healthiest teams LITERALLY are in the top spots, and the bottom is filled with the unhealthy teams. Fact is KAT got hurt earlier in the season they would be around 6. PARODY is real BESIDES DENVER, who is clearly the best Western team. Any other teams besides them could lose. If you don't believe that just look at last last year the PLAYIN Lakers made the WCF, and the PLAYIN heat made the FINALS.
It’s not just Luka’s show . Kyrie is as important to what they are doing as you can see in the 3rd quarter. He literally took a close game over.
Not sure Ky quite as important as Luka, but in certain contexts he has been/can be.
Not his best numbers but he didn't even play in the 4Q though.
A triple double in 3 quarters.
He’s injured
I've been following luka since he was 16, this analysis of the mavs and especially luka you two just had in this video are the absolute best i've seen by far and i have a very similar feeling when it comes to luka, but the mavs as well, they're a top2 team in the west right now, i'm not sure murray and jokić play that bad in the playoffs, maybe 1 game, but definitely not 2 in a row. After the trade the mavs started playing a different scheme in D where everyone rotates around Luka (and often THJ) while they stay stationary and point to others where to go, I'm assuming it's to hide them, to reduce their weakness exposure as a team. They're fine with Luka defending 1v1, but they don't want him switching, he still has some closeouts and help to do, that's where I still see some potential improvement, but that's to be expected. I wonder how this will work in the remaining games and especially in the playoffs, they still have plenty of time to perfect this, but it's already looking very promising. Also these same adjustments could've been the reason why they had that awful stretch of games where the D simply wasn't there. Anyway, regards from Slovenia! peace
Love this podcast!
Glad to hear it!
Now that most people starting talking about my mavs im still gonna listen to Legler since he was with us when were ass
These games slow down. As the playoff races speeds up. This is playoff Luka…when he can control everyone’s pace on the court.
This was more than a statement win for Mavericks.
"A signature win" great way of putting it!!!!!
I am really confident Sabonis is Regular Season Merchant, something like Embiid but on much lower scale.
Nah I really feel like he's being asked to be a hybrid when he would shine as a traditional PnR screener with a shot. He's stat padding boards cause he wants tf outta Sac.
Luka sat out the whole 4th quarter
Subscribed!!!!!!
Love this podcast ! Gives the Mavs the respect that’s been missing the whole season from all other talking heads. The acquisitions of Gafford and Washington made the Mavs a complete team. They can now match up with any team in the playoffs. I love that our bigs are a 2-headed monster that can afford some buffer in case Lively or Gafford gets injured. Together with the presence of Kyrie, this is the first time since Luka arrived that you can say that the Mavs can go head to head with any team on equal terms in a 7-game series. 🏀
My problem is that you guys are not giving Kyrie enough credit.
Just subscribed yall are excellent
Love it! Welcome!
Been listening to kg paul pierce podcast, jj Reddick and others but no one hardly talks about My Mavs!! Lfg!!
Jalen was that good here. He just didn't get the minutes to show it. Look at the games Luka sat out in the bubble playoff run. Jalen was amazing.
Jalen Brunson didn't play at all in the bubble playoff run and completely disappeared the very next year in the playoffs vs the Clippers. He was great in the '22 playoffs vs the Jazz/Suns though.
Luka is MVP
Should be said more.. I thank luka is learning alot of IQ from kyrie rn
LuKai 71 ❤
I love what JKidd is doing with these lineups!
He's finally starting Gafford and that's made the difference.
@dk6173 I think Josh Green needs to come off the bench.wyt?
Lively 2nd year man. He might just turn into 3rd option and a DPOTY candidate in 2-3 years
This last game of this weird scheduled Back-to-Back to 5 day spaced Back-to-Back could be that GAME that gives this Mavs team that preplayoffs boost toward the finals
Luka has to win this MVP and each day it is easier to see it.
That was not the Bucks worst loss of the season!
Mavs are on a mission and luka and kyrie smell blood. Luka will show why he is the best player in the world. He will not let kings rest he will attack and pass on genius level.
yeah nica that he puts numbers on the board in the first 6 min - would be nice if he would have still have energy at the end of the game and score than^^ scoring at the start is for role players !
If the Lakers play the Clippers 1st r, Thunder 2nd R, Warriors Conf Finals and Bucks in the Finals... they are the next champs. Congrats LA!
“Just getting carved up”
LOL.....28 TRIPLE DOUBLE AND DIDNT PLAY THE 4TH
He didn't have a triple double :/ But I'm glad he didn't need to! 132 points and Luka and Kai combined for only 52 points? Heck yeah.
@@williamkent2446 MY BAD YEAH THAT WAS GAME BEFORE
I’d like to see their take if kings win on Fri. Seems crazy to be so conclusive from one game
If the Mavs get to the 4 seed and Luka still doesn’t win MVP they need to change the voters of something 😂
The Bucks are going out in R1 again.
Luka is amazing. Just imagine if Labron had developed a jump shot like Luka how much better he’d be
Miami yesterday was playing 1 on 5
Dalls deep dive. I see what ya did there
He says thay Luka is 28 years old and It IS normal to think that way based on what we are seeing. But the man is only 25 which IS amazing
Sabonis is a regular season stat merchant that Dallas win is absolutely no surprise
TO BE 100.....LUKA IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE NBA
The only thing that can stop the Mavs right now is Luka's Achilles or some other unexpected injury.
Notice that McCollum takes a lot of shots in the final stretch without getting Zion the ball. People act like CJ is a really high iq player but he leaves some to be desired in the clutch. Make the right play.
So when the celtics blew a 30 point lead in atlanta without either of their starting guards in 2.5 quarters their season is deemed over, but when the bucks blow an arguably more safe lead in less than 8 minutes while fully healthy, at home, and unlike boston without their playoff seed locked its "oh the bucks will be fine." Make it make sense.
So if the Mats lose their next meeting with Sacramento is it still a statement win?
Oh for sure. The Kings are a good team too, but the Mavs didn't just beat them they were blown out.
Now imagine if they had a good coach
How much of this success is related to Jason Kidd coaching? I feel like his basketball genius may be underrepresented when people talk about the Mavs.
They only talk about him when they are losing and when they are winning its Luka😂
Mavs can beat anyone , you can’t say that about other teams beside Denver. There defense is elite last 10 games and When their 3s it’s over
Cs!!
Lu dirt got an open three due to a missed carry by Shai
Thanks for giving some positve media to Luka and his Mavs Tim. A lone positive voice in a mainstream media driven by false narratives.
Hope they stay out of Denver's bracket until the wcf
Kings had a really bad night and mavs had a great night. We will see what happens fri.
Joker leads the league in PER, win shares, box plus/minus and VORP. Per 36 mins joker and Lukas stats are pretty evenly matched other than Jokic is doing it way more efficiently. Luka still has some catching up to do if he is gonna win MVP
Luka shot more then 21 more points then Joker when they played.
@@Truecolors326 I agree luka outplayed him head to head but there was that entires first half of the season too against other teams
Luka shoots way more 3’s than jokic does though, 10.3 a game compared to jokic’s 2.9 a game. Ofc jokic will be more efficient fg% wise.
@zukusenryu Luka carried a injury prone Dallas team in first half which is HARDER then a Good Team Carrying Joker.
@@greakfreakmyboy9822 Luka shoots more 3s because he believes he has talent to make them. Takes Faith.
I knew all along that the Kings weren´t for real. I expect OKC and Minnie to fold as well in the first or second round. The Lakers and Suns will go passed the Kings in the play-In
Based on one game? What a normie casual take
No, based on how they were front runners in the beginning of the season and now they are falling apart losing key games. If they were "for real" they wouldn´t lose a key game by almost 40 pts. They also lost against almost every bottom team (except SA) which should tell you something. What a normie casual reply I´d say@@tonyfauci9963
Bucks just couldn't hit a shot in the 4th quarter. Not to say they didn't play some sorry defense at times.
No, his best team will be playing with Wemby!
Please stop whispering “yeah” and “right” into the microphone when legs is talking. It’s super annoying
AD fouled giannis on that lob. Probably twice. It's a joke how the league officiates the Lakers. They outshoot everyone they play from the ft line by a mile. The league clearly has to help them make the play in..kind of sad
Mavs Celtics finals! SPOT ON Legs! conference finals AT LEAST! Same ol Bucks last nite! Boston head shoulders above all the east...NOT CLOSE!!! ppl wish and cry on!! GOD KYRIE ANDREW IRVING ABOUT TO COOK IN APRIL - JUNE! BEANTOWN BOMBERS BABY!!
Luka is not the only leader here. Kyrie dont answer to him just fyi
Ramadan Kyrie! Irving is a true leader; beyond talent but a brilliant and composed human being. Refreshing to have genuinely good examples out there. Yes, it has been popular for centuries to misrepresent, denigrate, fabricate lies about Islam (not so-called followers/fake muslims/cultural practices, but the faith itself knowing most people won'tdo their due diligence), but the reality is that following the virtuous lifestyle of Islam leads to inner peace, balance, contentment. Going past the material aspects, prioritizing spirit, gratitude, virtue, patient perseverance. Live in the present and engage in the world but focus on the Creator and the Hereafter.
Legs, you can never give the Lakers credit without doing some bad remarks at all?! You give all the credit in the world to the Flippers when they are playing good, but Lakers praise always comes with a backhanded remark SMFH 🤣🤣😑
Bout time someone within the ESPN network spoke a couple doubts about the Lakers honestly 😂
@@ashtonalexander2431 The Boston media mafia is not enough for you?! Tim Bontemps, Zach Lowe, Tim Legler, JJ Redick, are all Laker haters! Especially those damn Celtic fans Zach Lowe and Tim Bontemps!
Are Kings really a statement win?
Yes. Kings were 6th, tied with same exact record as the Mavs who were in 7th. 6th is automatic bid to playoffs. 7th is play-in tournament. Also, Kings own season series 2-0 vs mavs coming in. So, to come in and WIN BY 30 in a must win game to get to the play-offs. It's definitely a statement.
Sir you watch the games 👏👏👏 great answer @@ryansatchell2302
@@ryansatchell2302the fact that the mavs have won against the kings after being 2-0, really shows how this is a different team
@@ryansatchell2302important to note this is their first matchup after the trade line AND I believe at least 1 or maybe both of the 1st two matchups were without kyrie as well. It’s a statement because the mavs are trying to prove they are better than their record and that they belong in conversations with Denver rather than with kings
@@ryansatchell2302plus it was back to back
Luka for MVP.
Lol not his best game...28-11-6. In three quarters....with a sore Achilles...he's him
Wait, so you aren't saying Doncic "does too much" and "doesn't make anybody better"? An above average IQ nba podcast? Wow
Kings are so bad at home. One of the worst teams in the west
