    Deep dive on a 1-1 Mavs-Clippers series

    Tim Cato and Austin Ngaruiya break it all down: the missed opportunity in Game 1, the brilliant Game 2 win, Luka Doncic’s defense and his mostly superb but slightly weird offensive execution so far, both him and the entire team’s brilliant defending, the role players we think can be trusted for the series, where they work best (and why), and what our expectations are, optimistically and pessimitically, for the rest of what looks to be an all-time classic between two incredibly good basketball teams.

    A serious look at Luka’s MVP case

    Tim Cato and Austin Ngaruiya talk to their old friend from The Athletic, Dave DuFour, about the surging Mavericks, what criteria really should matter for the MVP voting, and whether Luka Doncic can usurp Nikola Jokic. We agree they’re the best two players in basketball this season, and that one of them deserves it. Will it, and should it, be Doncic?

Best Independent Dallas Mavericks

There are plenty of Mavs pods out there. TOMP is unbiased and objective. Great show!

Solid basketball minds

I love this podcast. The theme music is top tier. Only guest I don’t love is Dave DuFour - he kind of steamrolls conversation and kind of armchair experts the whole thing. Throws the vibes off of a chill podcast. Otherwise Tim and Austin are fantastic.
