Embarrassing, Disgraceful, & Depressing: Mavs Blow 27-Point Lead In Defeat to Lakers

In this episode the crew gets together to discuss the Mavs' extremely dispiriting 111-108 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers, in which they led by 27 points at one point in the game. One large culprit in this game was the staggering lack of any sort of defense, some of it due to the lack of coaching adjustments from Jason Kidd.  Another one was Luka Doncic's continued inability to control his frustration during games when the officiating doesn't go his way, and the spillover effect it has on the other players on the team. All in all it was a performance that should trigger a reckoning within the Mavs organization over the final 20 games of this regular season. This is a public episode.
