I didn’t realize how much of a part of my routine this pod is until it wasn’t. Glad to have you back Nick! And Spencer Dinwiddie!
-
I can't wait for the Mavs Media Day interview with Nick and Slightly.
-
We brought back dinwiddie. Now we need to bring back the old intro!
-
the fact that we got rid of thj josh amd djj for klay, naji, grimes and dinwiddie while still being under the 1st apron and still keeping the 2 First rounders is crazy
-
It’s amazing to me that last year we got DJJ and Exum for basically nothing and this year we got Klay, Naji, Grimes, Dinwiddie and we are still below 1st apron!🤯
-
Tim McMahon at Dinwiddie presser "so, do you like momma's style over Dadda's now?"
-
With this guard depth,i hope Kidd will figure our how to reduce Luka minutes below 35,at least. Ideally,Luka plays around 30-33 minutes,Kai 27-30
-
I have an 8 month old baby and at night time I dread washing the bottles. But I put on my headphones and listen to this podcast and I swear it flies by!
-
Dinwiddie is a good addition but Exum should still be the first guard off the bench. Coach just needs to give Exum time to do his thing and not hook him off the court for not scoring a triple double within 2 minutes ...
-
icing on the cake would be some interior scoring beyond lob dunks
-
Thank you, Nick. Tremendously positive move by Nico; the notion that he somehow brings Spencer Dinwiddie back while retaining Kyrie Irving. This is a huge deal. Recall how he averaged 24 ppg the final 11 games of his Mavs stint last spring prior to the Kyrie trade. Dinwiddie not only dunked on/postered Gobert/Embiid/Chet/other bigs; he's comfortable posting up (recall down the stretch last year Mavs vs Lakers). Not only does Dinwiddie hit spot up catch & shoot threes--he has a refined transition pull up three pointer, step-back 3, side-step 3, fade away at the end of the shot clock 3. Not only can he facilitate--like you said; he steps in and thrives having the ball in his hands. GW three vs the Nets then GW three at Boston to ruin KG's retirement night (same night Brown had that nasty dunk on Maxi🤦♂️). Recall how he stepped up last year vs the Suns when Luka got injured early I'm the game. Dinwiddie put up 36 points on the road, then followed up with a 35 point game. He goes to Brooklyn and they ask him to facilitate/be an assist guy (9.1 assists per game) for Bridges and that brat Cam Thomas. He goes to a broken system in LAL and they want him to improve his defense; he not only gets the game-winning block on Lillard, he often blocked him and SGA. He excels at what the coaches ask of him. Just needs minutes and in all transparency, I think you have to trade Exum and Lawson away for minutes, probably get a big like Mo Bamba. Spencer Dinwiddie brings important swagger to this team that cannot be quantified. Fearless and very versatile. PLUS--he is already close friends with Kyrie Irving since their Brooklyn days, AND Luka Doncic is visibly (yall saw how Doncic grinned ear to ear clapping standing up as Dinwiddie postered Gobert and random/bold step back halfcourt 3 in utah in 2022 playoffs) and verbally a fan of his game. He said so again after Spencer took over Mavs vs Lakers in 2023 in LA. Dinwiddie also poured in 25 pts vs the Mavs last October in Dallas. Unbelievable pick up by Nico and Cuban. Super pumped. I hope they extend Dinwiddie beyond this next year.

What went into changing the intro music?..I like the jkidd “no one’s dying” lol
-
Nick, on media day you have to ask Spencer how is it like to be back with mom 😄 Glad to have something to listen to when I wake up. Hi from Slovenija.
-
Finally! Locked On Mavs is back!
-
Love love love the Dinwiddie pickup just what the doctor ordered. 😂😂😂 Plus I think he will play big role in playoffs said it last year when he had a chance to sign with Mavs again. Luka is also a big fan of Dinwiddie which also helps...I think the vibes are already at a potential all time HIGH!!!! No jokes no puns intended.
-
Nick and Spencer came back to mama 😂 (plz don’t take this out of context)
-
Comeback to Mommy Dinwiddie! Listening to Daddy didn't work out huh?
-
I just hope Hardy gets his chance.
-
Petition to get the old theme back
-
Sorry you had to sleep in an airport man, that sucks!
