First Things First, the sports TV personality said that the Dallas Mavericks were still very alive in their series against the Suns, despite being down 2-0 in the series.

"I thought you were going to offer me a legitimate olive branch and I was going to maybe take it," Wright said after Chris Broussard said he would allow Wright

"Because I've got to tell you, the Suns look pretty good and I'm not sure the Mavs are going to be able to fix this defense in the next 48 hours."

The Mavs are in a rough spot. Luka's (Doncic) one weakness as a player is he is not a great defensive player

They are in a rough spot because the Mavs right now have one way to score and it is Luka because Jalen Brunson has yet to show up in the series. It's exhausting.
