00:00 Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic look to lead the Dallas Mavericks back into the postseason
00:06 after missing last year.
00:08 Do you think these two, this duo, can help lead the Mavs deep into the postseason?
00:14 I'm glad you said help because yes, obviously.
00:18 We've seen games where they're in sync and they're playing.
00:21 They can combine for 80 points.
00:23 Yeah, that's 70 winning streak.
00:25 Which is what?
00:26 80 points?
00:27 They do it.
00:28 70 points a game is nothing for them, which is just mind-boggling.
00:32 They made two kind of under-the-radar trades.
00:35 They got rid of Grant Williams.
00:36 That was right about Grant Williams.
00:37 It was wrong about the Celtics.
00:40 They got rid of him.
00:41 He was a sourpuss that didn't play hard, wasn't in shape.
00:44 And they made two smooth moves to get P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford.
00:48 And NBA fans are like, "Who are those guys?"
00:52 Daniel Gafford is just a big-body, traditional back-to-the-basket center who doesn't need
00:59 a play run for him and will dive on the floor and set picks and get rebounds.
01:03 Think of Javon Clooney for the Warriors.
01:08 He's that version of Daniel Gafford.
01:10 He's exactly what the Mavs needed.
01:11 As soon as they made the trade, they've won the 8 of 10.
01:14 All of a sudden, they're playing great.
01:17 Make a run is so subjective.
01:19 A year ago, do we think the Miami Heat would be in the NBA Finals?
01:22 No.
01:23 The Mavericks, with those two guys, if they're healthy and hot and get that supporting role
01:27 from Gafford, P.J. Washington, they could be in the West Finals, 100%.
01:31 West Finals, I like that prediction.
