The Mavs were a top 4 seed in the West on Christmas, but a series of injuries to Luka, Kyrie and others have derailed their spot in the standings. They've lose 5 straight after dropping a game to Memphis last night, and given all the injuries, it might not stop any time soon. How concerned are you for the season with how things have been going lately?

00:00The Mavericks lose last night to the Grizzlies and Mike, I know that like this has been a
00:20disheartening time for all Mavs fans as they are now, is this a five game losing streak?
00:25And can I give you more bad news before you respond to all of this?
00:29Did you see what Jason Kidd said about Daniel Gafford?
00:31Oh, he's going to be a while.
00:33He said sprained ankle is what I think it is.
00:35We'll see how he feels, but he's probably going to be out for a quote when an NBA basketball
00:40game until you play teams like Portland or New Orleans or Charlotte.
00:44And I'm not even counting those as wins.
00:46I'm just saying those are the only chances you got at this point.
00:50Your team, if this was your team, you would be competing with the early 90 Mavericks.
00:54Oh, wow.
00:55And that would be 12 to 15 win teams.
00:59I like the depth of this team, sweet Lou.
01:02I like the depth of these teams.
01:04Tony Dumbass.
01:05I mean, Dumas was on the team.
01:06It just looked like it, Kevin.
01:09It's like that beer commercial.
01:13This isn't fair.
01:14Like, this is the way the Cowboys think that they like.
01:17It's amazing what the Jones family is able to do to the like the Cowboy fan who's just
01:22I call him soft minded.
01:24Like this wasn't a good team before all the injuries happened.
01:27The Mavericks were the Mavericks were 20 and 11.
01:31They were looking like one of the five best teams in the NBA.
01:36And then Luca gets hurt.
01:38And now Kyrie's out for a while.
01:40And you have Derek Lively is going to be hurt until his body grows into a man's body.
01:44He's just dealing with I compare him and Evan Carter to this.
01:47I like both of them.
01:48I think they're both super talented and they're going to make a major impact in their organization.
01:52And we've seen how both of them have in their playoff runs.
01:56But they're still in their child's body.
01:58Their body is not developed into a man's body yet.
02:01And Derek Lively is going to keep dealing with injuries and be in and out of the lineup
02:04because he has a child's body that's still developing into a man's body.
02:08So all of these injuries and the schedule when you look at it and what you have talent
02:13wise, I think this team by the time we get to the all star break might be on the outside
02:18of the top 10 now.
02:20Oh, wow.
02:21I think that we're not talking to the top 10 in the West.
02:24Right now, Phoenix and Sacramento are in 11th and 12th place.
02:29That's how stacked.
