The Dallas Mavericks suffered their ninth loss of the season on Tuesday night. In their quest for the NBA Cup, they fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road, 118-104. It halted their seven-game win streak and likely left everyone who watched it feeling a bit bad about themselves and the Mavericks. Josh and I recorded a show after the game and then I talked with Mavs fans for well over an hour.
We begin with a quick summary of how Dallas lost, essentially boiling down to a vanilla game plan, low energy, and sloppy play. The Thunder outworked Dallas and it was clear from early in the game that Dallas was in trouble and Oklahoma City put the clamps on Dallas in the third quarter to effectively close out the game.

After a live read from our sponsor (please visit BodySpec and use code PODMAVS45 to get $15 off a DEXA scan full body scan), we do try to hit a few high points, including O-Max getting some quality playing time and Luka Doncic playing the roll of actual screener and roll man. This was an ugly game for Dallas and to some degree I recommend everyone just forgetting about it. Without PJ Washington their defensive effort was not the same. Following Josh and I’s show, I talk with Dallas fans for over an hour about all sorts of things, ranging from MVP, to Jason Kidd, and more.
With Dallas having a few days off, we need to figure out what to podcast about!
