Transcript

00:00In the NBA, certainly in the NBA West,

00:04the more things change, the more things stay the same.

00:08Now, we do have a change right now

00:10in the way the NBA is going to be covered,

00:11but Woj announces his retirement from ESPN,

00:17a brilliant career in journalism.

00:18He's gonna go back and work for his alma mater

00:21at St. Bonaventure.

00:23We wish him well.

00:24The rest of us are gonna keep hanging around the NBA.

00:27I'm Mike Fisher, by the way.

00:28We are in Dallas, where in the NBA West,

00:31Warriors undergoing changes.

00:33The Spurs with Wembley, clearly arrow pointing up,

00:38but who is upsetting the apple cart of the Dallas Mavericks?

00:45The Mavericks figure to be better than they were last year

00:48when they went to the NBA Finals, of course.

00:50Now, we've been down this road before.

00:53Mavericks have excelled in the Luka Doncic era

00:57for a moment, and then the roller coaster

00:59took them back down.

01:00That's still possible.

01:01But when the Boston Celtics talk about them,

01:05their pursuit of a repeat, go back to the NBA Finals

01:10and win it again as they did last year

01:12when they beat Luka Doncic and the Mavericks

01:16and Kyrie Irving and the Mavericks,

01:18when they forecast who their opponent's gonna be,

01:22they think it's gonna be the Dallas Mavericks.

01:24In the NBA West, as much as other teams

01:28are banging on the door, it's the Mavericks

01:31with Kyrie and with Luka and with a program

01:37that's still building and a program that's still young

01:40in so many ways, it's the Mavericks who are

01:42inside the house.
