00:00Well, you mentioned Minnesota Julius Randall did have a solid

00:05game. He was very good yesterday and what was

00:08effectively a blowout of uh the Mavericks in Dallas. Twenty-three

00:12points, ten rebounds, eight assists. You maybe say, what

00:15do you mean cough? Like it was a blowout. Six-point win. Yeah

00:18but you know, Dallas outscored the Timberwolves by sixteen in

00:22the fourth quarter to make that game look more respectable

00:25than it actually was throughout the majority of it. Kyrie

00:27Irving went for damn near half of Dallas's points. He was

00:30awesome. Thirty-nine points in that game especially at locked

00:34in after Luca went down uh but that's the story. You know,

00:38this team that was in the NBA finals last year, the Dallas

00:40Mavericks, Minnesota of course on the other side was uh a

00:43hopeful there fell short in the Western Conference playoffs.

00:47Luca Donchic expects to miss considerable time. That that's

00:51the fear anyway on the part of the Mavs with this calf strain.

00:54How much does that change the dynamic of what we've seen so

00:57far out of the Mavs this year? Well, it's not the first time

01:01that he's going to miss games, right? But it's interesting

01:04with this Dallas Mavericks team. Uh they are very deep.

01:08They are very consistent. They have been here and done this

01:11before with Donchic. They have more than enough talent and

01:15firepower to hold down the fort until they can get him back

01:20100%. Maybe a month, maybe a little bit more but Dallas is

01:24not. I'm confident not going to fall off a cliff because

01:27Donchic is no longer available to him. I think they're they'll

01:31be fine. Just get him healthy at the end of January and

01:35February and they'll be uh they'll be ready to make

01:37another run.
