Fellow managing editor Josh Bowe and I connected on Monday night to react to the Dallas Mavericks’ schedule release. It’s been a too-long summer and Josh and I have been scraping the bottom of the barrel. While we could’ve mentioned former Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban going on yet another podcast, where he mentioned how Dallas almost traded for Kobe or the video of him dancing in the gym with some guys lifting… we decided to ignore those things. You’re welcome.
The schedule release for Dallas
is really quite interesting. It’s fun to consider games in February and March, but really, the opening of the season ends up being our focus. As Josh notes, it’s when the team is at their most healthy and beyond that it becomes difficult to project for both Dallas and the rest of the league after the first 20 games.

Following the break, we touch on two more guys from the past which we’ve been thinking about. I’ll go ahead and spoil it for you but this is a short podcast, so you should really listen. Josh brings up Erick Dampier; we revisit his stats, contributions, and the legacy he left with Dallas. I wanted to talk about Jerry Stackhouse, a player who drove me crazy at first but as he stuck around with the Mavericks, I slowly grew to appreciate his game.
This was a fun one. We’ll be up again soon talking shop, so come ready with your takes about the summer and the season ahead.
