PJ Washington Just Made A HUGE Statement...

PJ Washington just made a huge statement in his return game to the Dallas Mavericks after missing the last seven games due to an ankle injury. And although the Mavericks did lose to the Philadelphia 76ers, PJ Washington put on an amazing performance. Definitely a bounce back game from the last time we saw him play. And after the game, PJ Washington had a lot to say about fans and how they're booing at the games to how the Dallas Mavericks played and why they should have won. So in this video, we're going to take a look at everything that happened this afternoon. the Mavericks, how good they played, how bad they played, and what was it that P.J. Washington had to say. But how's it going everybody? My name is Marcel Martin. This is Mavericks Digest bringing you the latest news on everything Mavericks related.

But the Dallas Mavericks, as we're continuing the rest of this season with about 14 13 games left we are still trying to find ways to win games as today's game against the Philadelphia 76ers it was a winnable game we definitely could have especially when you look at how many players were sitting out if we look at this right here you may need to just zoom in a little bit but this was the very lengthy injury report for the 76ers as well as the Dallas Mavericks as we only played eight players the Dallas I'm sorry the Dallas Mavericks only played eight players the Philadelphia 76ers although they had a very very long list of injured players they only played 10 players still had two more than the Dallas Mavericks and yet we only lost by five points like I said a winnable game P.J. Washington also thought it was a winnable game if we take a look at the box score we can go over that right now P.J. Washington in his return to the Dallas Mavericks had 29 points one steal two assists 12 rebounds shot seven of nine from the free throw line he was 0 of 3 from 3 however he was 11 of 17 from the floor P.J. Washington looked amazing looked exactly like who meant a stand on business is for the Dallas Mavericks looked like he didn't miss a step at all and before he did have to miss the last seven games due to his ankle injury where he did say he felt like he did return a little bit too soon a lot of people were worried about P.J. as he wasn't really playing his best and obviously you have those knee-jerk reaction fans who thought that oh P.J. Washington he's he's trash we need to trade him but the real fans realize he's still hurt he's not 100 healthy and he needs more time in today's game he definitely proved that and although the Sixers didn't have Paul George Joel and Biid, Tyrese Maxey, or any of their actual good players, PJ Washington still shined tonight the only downside to his game was his turnovers as he did leave the Mavs with four, you never really want to see PJ bring the ball down, you don't want see him dribble too much because this is typically the result, you get a bunch of turnovers and Naji Marshall today had another great game, he had 21 points one steal six assists and eight rebounds was four of six from the free throw line, was only one of seven from three and shot eight of 20 from the floor, definitely want to see Naji limit those threes he's taking as much as Klay Thompson although he's not hitting them at the same clip as Klay Thompson but Kester Edwards as well had five points had one block one assist seven rebounds shot one of two from three and two of three from the floor, Kester Edwards as well as Brandon Williams only have a small handful of games left that they're allowed to play until we have to make a big decision around April 10th around who we're going to sign who we're going to give that last roster spot, to a lot of people think it should be Kester Edwards, a lot of people think it should be Brandon Williams and honestly I feel like you can't go wrong with one or the other, they both provide a lot for this team in many different ways Klay Thompson tonight in 35 minutes had 21 points one steal two assists three rebounds shot three of seven from three and nine of 15 from the floor when the threes weren't necessarily falling in the first half he was definitely opting into driving getting some long range to some middies and just finishing at the rim in which Klay Thompson can obviously do, definitely want to see that three point percentage get a little bit better but I'll take three for seven and to round out the starters, Brandon Williams in 32 minutes had 11 points one block one steal two assists, two rebounds, shot five of five from the free throw line, zero of three from three and three of eight from the floor definitely felt like he shot a little bit better when you watch him play there's a lot of good things that Brandon Williams brings to the Dallas Mavericks as far as playmaking just ball handling passing and the ability to score and finish at the rim is very much similar to how Kyrie plays and it makes sense because he studied under Kyrie Irving Brandon Williams like i said with Kessler Edwards two guys that we definitely want to see on this team down the road they've earned it they're showing promise especially Brandon Williams who can definitely be a much better option at the point guard position than the Jaden Hardy Dante or even Spencer Dinwiddie and to finish up the box score off the bench like i said earlier we only played eight players we had three guys off the bench he had Dwight Powell in 13 minutes had two points three assists and one rebound Spencer Dinwiddie in 36 minutes had 18 points he had seven assists four rebounds was five of six from the free throw line one of six from three but six of 15 from the floor again if the threes aren't falling let's not just keep chucking up those threes but it is Spencer Dinwiddie what what else do we expect from him and bouncing back from a string of bad games was Max Christie in 30 minutes he had 18 points one block three assists eight rebounds shot two of four from the free throw line four of six from three as well as six of eight from the floor definitely good to see Max Christie having that bounce back game looking a lot better with the team and I've always thought that Max Christie plays a lot better when he has more of the full team around him and whenever he's thrust into a starting position or in a role that maybe not maybe isn't the most comfortable for him then we do see his production kind of fall off but PJ had a lot to say but we also got to talk about just PJ, we're just talking about PJ a lot in his return he had 29 points 12 rebounds was 11 to 17 welcome back king of course PJ Washington is the glue on this team he's definitely been a huge factor in our way and how we win games this season earlier in the season whenever whenever he was out due to injuries it was very hard for us to win and that still rings true today glad to see him back although we lost we still lost with PJ it still was a winnable game and even PJ had to address that Mike Curtis asked PJ Washington about the Mavs execution in the fourth quarter and PJ said just the whole game we were terrible on the offensive end we beat ourselves with that we had 15 turnovers that's unacceptable it shouldn't have even got down to the last shot if we don't turn the ball over we win the game and obviously like I showed you guys in the box score PJ Washington had the most turnovers out of anybody on the Mavericks with four so you could look at it as PJ Washington being bluntly honest with why we lost today and also kind of taking accountability as he did have the most turnovers PJ Washington as well as the rest of the guys on this team aren't necessarily sold on tanking that's not really an option that players have that's definitely a front office decision whenever a team wants to tank so it's fair to say that PJ Washington Klay Thompson even Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving still want to see this team compete try their absolute best win as many games as possible and for all the people that actually go to these games i'm sure it feels good to watch them win even if it feels like a pointless win even if we win every single game between now and the end of the season and we're still the 10th seed you still want to see these guys win you still want to see them perform at a high level and in this game that came down to the last shot we were down by three we had the inbounds we got Spencer Dinwiddie who just turned around and just threw up a quick three there was no setup there was no time he had 12 seconds left he just said nope going boom could have gotten to Clay who was three of seven could have gotten to Max Christie who's also hot but they gave it to Spencer and then he took it upon himself to just throw up the shot so obviously this was a tough loss for the Dallas Mavericks especially when they obviously felt like they were the better team they were just a more shorthanded team but not only did PJ Washington have a lot to say about the loss and what happened he also had a lot to say about fans as fans are still going to the game in their own form of protest against the organization and their decision to trade Luka Doncic a lot of them have been opting in to say fire Nico or start firing Nico Chance and PJ Washington had this to say about one of the hecklers during today's game PJ Washington on hearing firing Nico Chance during Mavs free throws saying at the end of the day the trades happened we understand we have a new team now all that fire Nico stuff we're sick and tired of hearing it we just want to go out there and play and we need the fans support us no matter who's on the floor that's just how i feel about it and it's good to see somebody some player speak out about this because obviously the fans are going to feel how the fans are going to feel but there's still 14 guys on this roster that need our support PJ Naji everybody that's still suiting up when we barely have anybody when it feels very bleak that we're even going to win games they still go out there they try their best they compete at the highest level to try to give the fans something to be happy about but when you're constantly being reminded of what happened a month ago when you're constantly being reminded by the fans that they're upset it can kind of get on your nerves and obviously PJ Washington had that to say that people yelling fire Nico while he himself is shooting free throws is getting very very annoying they just want to win games they just want the support of the fans and i agree with PJ Washington but to finish up today's video we got ourselves guess that Maverick he's currently a Dallas Maverick doesn't have that much time left on the team but has been showing out and just really winning over everybody so let me know who you think that is in the comment section down below but that's all i got for you guys today thank you for making it this far to the video make sure to check
