This week in Mavericks talk
The shows have been focused on the Mavericks' opening week, with a lot riding on Cooper Flagg's second year and Kyrie Irving's return from injury. Dallas lost badly to Houston in their opener, with the Rockets' superior organization and rim finishing on display while questions lingered about whether Irving's return was enough to fix the offense. The talk keeps coming back to whether this roster has the right pieces to compete, with some hosts optimistic about the potential and others skeptical about the fit.
