Joining me, as always, the post game prodigy for the great Slightly Byis YouTube channel. what did you see from the Dallas Mavericks this afternoon slightly biased 28 more 27 more 27 number

27 right that's what I saw it's like the jail it's like the jail cell of just

put not just yeah what notches today's episode we're talking about one of those notches. You put notches on.

Today's episode, we're talking about one of those notches.

The Mavs get a win against the Indiana Pacers breaking their 10 game losing streak.

Congrats to them.

Good job.

You no longer put them in the category of longest win streak in maps history.

That was on the table.

10 is crazy. We'll talk about Chris Middleton absolutely make a huge impact in this game. We'll talk about Marvin Bagley being significantly better than Daniel Gafford in this game. And if that's a bigger conversation, we'll talk about all kinds of things. But let's start here slightly biased. One thing, the one thing that I can take away from this Mavs, Pacves pacer's game is coming into this game there are 22 players on the injury report total 22

like eight players on the pacer's are questionable a bunch of players in the mavericks were questionable

probable doubtful all that going back and forth cooper flag didn't play in this game obviously you

don't have tithers halberton on the on the pacer Pacers have been tanking this whole season. They got fined earlier for tagging for sitting players. Zubots is not going to play a single game for them this season, and that's a big thing. They just traded for him from the Clippers. And going into this game, I wondered, this next stretch of four games for the Mavericks

that are against these really bad teams, Pacers, Nets, Grizzlies, were they going to do anything

in the realm of tanking or doing anything extra?

We've seen a bunch of teams do these things.

We've seen the Jazz do these things where they play their players, Lauer Market and

Jared Jackson Jr.

Until the fourth quarter and then they sit them in the fourth quarter to intentionally lose the game.

We've seen other teams tank in other ways or they sit players for the whole game or they do

there's all kinds of other tactics that you can use.
