Kings why don't we watch it one more time nobody watching that sabonis sabonis and the Kings trying to fight with Luca and the Mavs for that vaunted six spot winner has the edge as we get closer to the playoffs Luca on fire in the first half yes and so wow oh my goodness where are you going crossed up it's obvious from the score the Maverick's wanted it way more than the Kings did oh my goodness and why did that play work cuz ain't nothing over there because his pivot foot was his right foot tha
nk you yeah I didn't know that part you a going DK it though no he ain't dunk it Luca had 26 points in the first half here's three more left step back the 13th time this season he's had 26 he only had two in the second half why but it did not matter because Kyrie said oh he's still dunking radon Kyrie how about that still having the energy Mavericks going on a 15-2 run he does inside he does outside and we know he does it's alive K it's alive Luka Luka loved it Kyrie with 24 and eight assists 10
of 19 from the floor six man year Kyrie had 12 in the third quarter Malik monk undoubtedly Bobby pis was Sixth Man of the Year he's final four cand yes they are undoubtedly in competition but it was too much Kyrie it was too much Mavs Kyrie Luca and Tim Hardaway Jr all scored over 20 points they hit 223s which is up there for their second best performance of the season and this is tied for the biggest loss of the year for the Sacramento Kings you do not want big losses at this point of the Year
132 to 96 a 36o win as Shaq plays some music on the outro but sabonis does get a double double his 55 55th consecutive double double statement wise does this mean anything in the big picture for Dallas 36o win over Sacramento I think it means more to them than everybody else and and now with Kyrie and Luca having their flow their teammates have learned how to play with them as well and that's what made the team the the maps dangerous because they're not playing your turn my turn basketball they
're appreciating each other and elevating each other and playing off of each other better which puts everybody on the road and the rooll side in their natural position to be role players 34 assists tonight yeah 34 assists and a lot of it is because you have two of the best one-on-one players in the game and so you're able to break down draw two and find open Shooters and people with mismatch mismatches I mean you look at this game and it's like right now well before tonight there were three team
s with 42 wins it's like you never know how this game can impact your playoff right matchups whether you have to do the plan whether you get rest so it's like from now on games on these nights matter and so for the Mavs to be winners of eight of their last nine games I think that they are making a statement and they play again on Friday in Sacramento so they'll get revenge quickly and these were playoff numbers by those two like you didn't see 45 and and 38 like these they had 37 attempts combin
ed every every Point meant something they played possession basketball they played it like approached like it was a playoff game question for the panel yes please if you're Dallas right now you're number six so playoffs start today You' be Minnesota or OKC or Denver or do you try to go out to the Clippers and play the Pelicans in the first round how many games back are they at the five seed right now out of the five seed two games out out Clippers 27 losses Dallas 29 losses CU if playoffs starte
d today Denver OKC or Minnesota would be a tough first round so do you try to move up and possibly play the Clippers or the New Orleans Pelicans at that five seat or do you stay where you are well how about this how about we watch a game between the Thunder and the Pelicans and we see how they look and then we can judge in fact they did play tonight another game like our first game Lakers Bucks had had a series of runs early on Oklahoma City was doing whatever they wanted Josh giddy floater down
the lane then Zion thank you that's what I want to see yes and he's looking spelt s spin pull up jum MVP 248 assists for him J dub 26 points for him that was AAL comat get over here SGA spin One More Time same apparently that's in the back so Oklahoma City up 15 at halftime SGA trying to add to it makes it 16 hit him with that Nash and then here come the Pelicans a 14-2 run nji Marshall knocking down the triple right big dog put that Z Zion had 29 Points point 10 assists five rebounds he's been
balling Zion the touch over the long stretched arm of ched olgren Trey Murphy check out the bench react on this they're loving it now they're up three after all of that with three minutes left and a floater from CJ McCullum they're up five oh right back at here come the Thunder SGA ties it for three then Jaylen Williams the dagger so Oklahoma City went off huge Pelicans come storming back and then the Thunder answer and knockout punch look at the score like I'm loving seeing the scores because
that tells you they're they're all getting ready and gearing it for the playoffs getting ready for that second season 119 to 112 that means every Point matters every Point's hard fought this is what you want to see at the end of the season no I just think that if we look at like the way OKC is built I feel like they have have a closer in SGA that we knew to start the season that's who that guy was but to me is Jaylen Williams I mean for to watch him and they're starting him in the fourth quarter
now he's kind of getting the ball in his hands he's the playmaker you got Josh giddy um coming in having great numbers tonight I think for me the Pelicans I mean they're missing Ingram right that knee injury with that knee injury so I wonder what that's looking like but Zion looks good let's give him his credit because he's he's really playing well and CJ McCullum I mean he's he's making plays as well and we talk about the Western Conference teams all the time Shaq to look down and see the Peli
cans at four they quietly up there they were not being talked about for a number of weeks and now they're sitting there not even just trying to get in the play in but locked into the playoffs listen they're playing well Zion's playing well again you know they mention one of the the main key players but to go back to jump on the cand point what what impressed me about the OKC game had the lead let the lead slip Bo didn't Panic right regain their composure was able to close the game out that's sca
ry for a young team not to panic and be able to regain their composure and close the game out watch out for OKC yeah I don't I don't think they think they're a young team anymore I think they just think they're one of the better teams because they've been that all season long they they're not looking like I just saw something I think the average age of North Carolina maybe is right around the same same as okay but they don't see themselves like that they see themselves as having as good chance a
nd Jay dub is nice just like Candace said and their coach coach dagal is good too I one follow-up question cuz you guys always tell me it's a league of matchups you're looking at Oklahoma City they're at the two I'm looking at the sevens the eights the sixes what are the good matchups for Oklahoma City of those bottom teams and what are the scary matchups for those teams you don't want to play Phoenix you don't want to play Lakers you don't want to play the Lakers they do the Lakers scared Oklah
oma City Dallas Okay C is getting worked by the Lakers you a got to be scared to to OKC struggling against you know what I need to rewatch The Lake we're going to come back we're going to watch the Lakers highlights and then we can discuss Lakers are then we can figure it out OKC ain't scared of nobody no you on the bandwagon shouldn't be jdb and SGA MVP you think they have what it takes to win a championship though we're going to need to write it on a Post-It note on Thursday this year you thin
