Stars and Mavericks on the verge, Rangers in limbo, and did Mike Zimmer criticize DQ?

In the latest episode of the SportsDay Insider podcast, Dallas Morning News sports writers Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant, and David Moore dive into the latest happenings in the world of sports.

The trio starts off by discussing the Stars and Mavs as they close in on the finals in their respective sports. David points out the historical significance of no NBA team ever blowing a 3-0 lead in the playoffs, but Kevin highlights the impact of Dereck Lively II’s absence on the Mavs’ recent performance. The team needs to close out Game 5 in Minneapolis to give Lively and star player Luka Doncic time to recuperate.

Evan then shifts the conversation to the Rangers’ strange week, prompting Kevin to propose a blockbuster trade that could shake up the team’s roster. David chimes in with insights on OTAs and the rehabilitation of player Mazi Smith’s career under coach Dan Quinn.
