The Dallas Mavericks dropped a hard-fought game to the Minnesota Timberwolves, but the Mavs showed relentless fight and resilience throughout the matchup. What role could Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving, and the Dallas Mavericks' supporting cast play? Discover how head coach Jason Kidd, the Mavs' defense, seven double-figure scorers, and tanking implications are shaping the future of the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA. Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit) & Isaac Harris (@IsaacLHarris) break down the Dallas Mavericks' loss to the Timberwolves, analyze contributions from Khris Middleton, Klay Thompson, Daniel Gafford, PJ Washington, Naji Marshall, Marvin Bagley, and Dereck Lively II, and discuss the impact of Jason Kidd’s leadership. The episode explores how the Mavs’ roster changes, NBA tanking updates, and missing stars like Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg influence the team's performance and draft strategy. Listen as the hosts debate guard rotations, the fightback mentality, and how players like AJ Johnson and Tyus Jones factor into Dallas’ push for a higher pick in the NBA Draft.   0:00 Mavs Relentless Fight Back 7:47 Role Players & Jason Kidd Credit? 18:21 New Players' Contributions     TEXT LINE: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonmavs 📲 TEXT: 214-643-8637     Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
