00:00So the Mavs lose 115 to 114.
00:18I don't want to make it sound like this game wasn't close because obviously it was close
00:21throughout.
00:22It was very close at the end of the fourth quarter, but it didn't come down to a last
00:26second shot.
00:27The Tyree last second shot you heard made it 115-114 as opposed to 115-111.
00:35We can talk about the game if that's what you guys want to focus in on.
00:37We definitely can.
00:38PJ had an interesting night with points, you know, getting to the basket, doing his thing.
00:46The three-point shooting wasn't the greatest last night.
00:48Sure.
00:49That wasn't great.
00:50You can say that about the whole team, but yes, that is factually accurate.
00:53So, I mean, and then you're just missing that guy still.
00:58You're missing, you're missing a couple pieces of your team.
01:01And that's what I wanted to talk about.
01:03Although I know if Mike was here, he'd want to point out that he's infuriated that Kessler
01:06Edwards got 15 minutes because he doesn't know his name.
01:10Yeah.
01:11He's like, I don't know who that is.
01:12This is named Kessler.
01:13You're missing a half year starter.
01:14Okay.
01:15Now that is a great point because one of the things that Jason Kidd said, well, he talked
01:20a lot yesterday about the possibility of like, Hey, trying to ramp up Derek Lively
01:24and getting them good to go.
01:26But what he said at the very end, I thought was really fascinating because yesterday when
01:31we found out about the Derek Lively injury, which by the way has already kind of changed
01:38from what Sharanya said yesterday.
01:40So Sharanya said it was a fracture in the foot out two to three weeks.
01:45Now it sounds like the Mavericks and like, obviously I will take their word for it.
01:52They believe it's a stress fracture in his right ankle and it's going to be re-evaluated
01:57in four weeks.
01:58Now that's not to say he'll be back in four weeks because that will not happen re-evaluated.
02:02So did the bone heal?
02:03Exactly.
