The Dallas Mavericks 120-101, congratulations, beating a team that's actively trying to tank
00:05
to get as many ping pong balls as they possibly can get. The Brooklyn Nets now sit on the season
00:09
23-49, but the Mavericks at 35-37 pull into a virtual tie with the Suns to try to get the
00:16
10th spot, which is the play-in-round games for their franchise. This was a team just a
00:21
few short weeks ago, that should go back a month, let's just say, where, you know what,
00:24
we got superstars on our team, we're happy, our fans love us, can we make a run?
00:28
Luka Doncic leaves, Anthony Davis comes in, he gets injured, Kyrie Irving gets injured,
00:32
and the sink to the bottom continues. Now, I'm surprised by this, Joe, because I didn't
00:36
think Anthony Davis would get back onto the court this year, because most smart franchises go, well,
00:41
he is going to be the linchpin of our franchise for the next couple years. This season is done,
00:46
whether he comes back healthy or not, we're not winning anything, we might not even make it into
00:49
the play-in-round, and we know the injury history on Anthony Davis, so him coming back here to help
00:54
the team ruin their draft position to maybe make it into the playoffs, to get knocked out in one
01:00
game, to be then sent home. I don't understand, but they're trying to win, and they did last night.
01:05
Well, they did, and you know, to their credit, they have been feisty and short-handed for a
01:12
long time now, and you know, this is not a team that has quit, there's effort every night,
01:17
you know, they lack talent, obviously, because of all the injuries, and you trade away a
01:22
generational player like Luka, but that's a whole different story. And also, do you really
01:27
want to alienate your fan base even more by not making an effort down the stretch to make the
01:33
postseason? So, I love the pieces they have, I think Najee Marcell is a stud, you know,
01:40
they even got Dinwiddie back in action, you bring Anthony Davis, P.J. Walsh, it's not like they're
01:46
void of talent, unlike the Brooklyn Nets, who pretty much have no talent, but Dallas could
01:52
make, I mean, listen, everyone's going to look past Dallas, right? But if they can get in,
01:57
Dallas is another one of these teams where, you know, they're not giving up,
02:01
and they haven't given up all year, and credit to Jason Kidd, too, for keeping this together.
