In this episode we discuss the 125-107 blowout win over the Houston Rockets, who came into the game on a NBA-best 11-game win streak. This was the Mavs' 11th win in the last 12 games, which capped an 11-4 month of March for the team. We discuss the two huge wins the Mavs got in Sacramento last week to move out of the play-in and into the top-6 of the Western Conference, and why those games showed the Mavs are one of the most formidable teams in the Western Conference Playoff field. With 8 games to go in the regular season, the Mavs now sit at 5th in the West and now have earned the title of the hottest team in the NBA.

In this episode, we discuss the recent happenings around the Mavs, most notably Kyrie Irving's incredible left-handed floater at the buzzer to beat the Denver Nuggets 107-105. We discuss what the Mavs have been doing well since our last episode, which has led the team to win five out of their last six games, a stark difference from when we last recorded. We break down the Mavs' new identity as tough interior team that can score at will in the paint thanks to Luka Dončić Kyrie Irving, Daniel Gafford, and Dereck Lively II. We also talk about concerns we have for the team going into the postseason, namely their poor shooting and Maxi Kleber's role as a key member of the closing lineup.

In this episode we discuss the recent stretch that has seen the Mavs lose five of their last six games, thanks to the worst defense in the NBA since the trade deadline. The good vibes of the Mavs' 7-game win streak from February are gone, and the team finds themselves in a similar position for the stretch run that they were in during March and April of 2023. We talk about how the abysmal defense and overall recent play from the Mavs indicates deeper issues, largely with head coach Jason Kidd. His inability to make quick adjustments, run more suitable schemes, and overall inability to have the team prepared every night, are all reasons that might warrant his firing unless the Mavs' can turn their season around.

Finally, we talk about how the return of Dante Exum unlocks Kyrie Irving's game even more, and gives the Mavs a much-needed third ball handler.
