00:00what is the one reason that you're excited about the Mavs season that could
00:20go in any different number of directions I'm gonna tell you this my answer not
00:24Luca but you always know that guy yeah you always want to try you just what no
00:30I know hell no Andre Aiden no yeah I said Luca is the best player in this
00:37draft who was the kid from Duke the King lefty Magoo Bagley yeah that's who you
00:43wanted no that's Marvin Marvin Bagley's the next start Danny Ferry all right so
00:54well at least hear my answer out before you crap all over it one reason to be
00:59excited about the Mavs season what is yours all right I hope this makes sense
01:04this roster that the Mavericks have is better than the NBA Finals team is this
01:11roster better than the championship team who I'd have to think more about
01:17that just because of how different they are I'll I think that's worth
01:23conversation for sure because I don't know that crazy that it doesn't seem
01:29that long ago but it's a totally different yes exactly you're right about
01:3214 years ago so you didn't have a player that had what Kyrie Irving has on that
01:38team by any means let alone Luca you had Dirk which was very unique so when
01:43you say better than last year's team yes I agree and and that's my number one
01:46reason like obviously I understand if a lot of people say Luca that makes all
01:50the sense in the world to me but to me we've seen Luca be the man and still
01:56struggle because the pieces around him were not very good so I'm excited that
02:00this roster on paper always got to qualify it with on paper looks like a
02:04better roster than the team that just made it to the NBA Finals I agree with
02:09you there doesn't mean you're gonna make it the NBA Finals true but I think the
02:15great thing about this question is you could probably have seven or eight
02:21answers oh absolutely that's why we're doing it I guess it's it's regular
02:25season but I'm wondering can this team take the defensive philosophy that
02:33happened after the trade deadline where right or wrong right I'm not a Gilbert
02:38Arenas fan at all but I've watched some of his stuff like he's like this is a
02:41joke this is the worst defense in the NBA and I'm like they're in the NBA
02:44Finals nimrod like you can say like Boston has a way better defense or this
02:48and that but they've done something to make the NBA Finals I get they're
02:51getting killed by Boston right now but don't tell me they're not good the stats
02:55and he's like stats don't mean anything and they don't mean everything but they
03:00do mean something can the Mavs this year be a top five to seven defensive
03:09team all year last year they were considered by statistical measures the
03:15best the last I don't know eight weeks of the season yes can they consistently
03:21be considered throughout the year hey this is a really good are they better
03:26than Boston maybe not are they better than Oklahoma City question mark but
03:30like can they be in the conversation I'm like I'm telling you that's a good
03:35defensive team to me that's a very interesting thing with Luka and Kyrie
03:39and Klay Thompson can they be a really good defensive team
