What Dusty May's Two Goals Reveal About the Dallas Mavericks' Identity

The Dallas Mavericks and head coach Dusty May are setting a new standard this season, and Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving, and the rest of the roster are at the center of it. What will it actually take for the Mavs and the NBA's most-hyped rookie to turn things around?

Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit) & Slightly Biased (Slightly Biased) break down Dusty May's two stated goals for the Mavericks — becoming enjoyable to watch again and being equipped to win every type of game — and dig into why Dallas has been bottom-five in the league in three-point volume and offensive rebounding. The hosts also cover the impact of newcomers Marcus Sasser, Santi Aldama, Morez Johnson Jr., and Sergio De Larrea, plus how Naji Marshall, Dereck Lively II, and Caleb Martin fit into the Mavs' defensive puzzle, with comparisons to the Warriors, Rockets, Pistons, Lakers, and Cavaliers.
