00:00The Mavs and the Kings, let's finish this off.

00:03The second play-in game, the 9-10 game tonight in the Western Conference.

00:08Mavs, of course, we know what kind of year they're having.

00:11And the Kings, 40-42, they will host the game tonight.

00:15They're minus 5.5.

00:172-13.5 is the total.

00:20It's got to be like the end of the horrible book on Clay Thompson's nightmare journey to Dallas

00:29to play for the Mavericks in the season that he just went through, right,

00:32where they traded away Luka Doncic and his battery mate, your boy Kyrie Irving,

00:39blew out his knee, right?

00:41And so everything has gone wrong for him.

00:43All he had to do was play for his father's team, the Lakers,

00:46and he'd be in the playoffs, going for a ride, maybe winning a title,

00:50watching banners get raised like he did in San Francisco and in Oakland.

00:55Okay, so I think it's the end of him.

00:59I really do.

01:00Like, this is on, like, he doesn't even matter anymore, but it's still on him.

01:05The nightmare that he's been through in Dallas, you can't tell me that dude likes

01:09the decision he made to go play for the Mavericks.

01:12And this is what you get.

01:13He got it served up real nice and cold.

01:16The only way they have a shot in this game tonight, as far as I'm concerned,

01:19is if Anthony Davis has 40 and 25, literally, and I'm not even kidding.

01:26He's got to, like, dominate like never before in his entire career for that team,

01:32I think.

01:34Now, look, I don't think the Kings are that good.

01:37I really don't.

01:38I think they deserve to be in a 9-10, right?

01:41But they're at home, and they got DeRozan, and they got, you know,

01:47a bunch of guys that can put it in the hole, like our boy from Chicago.

01:50You know what he's going to do there.

01:53So the bottom line is I think they got, you know, too much for the Mavericks.

02:01I'm with you.

02:02I'm going to go Kings tonight.

02:04I'm going to lay it at 5.5.

02:06I think they're just better in there at home.

02:09I think that this Mavericks season deserves the proper ending,

02:13and the proper ending is probably a double-digit loss in Sack or Tomato.

02:19That just seems like the perfect way to end this Dallas Mavericks season

02:22is if that's what goes on.
