On today's show, Merry Christmas, happy holidays.

Some say the NBA season starts today.

What do we know about the Dallas Mavericks if it did start today?

Locktime man.

This is Cooper Flagg, and you're listening to Lockdown Mall at all.

I think that's a good question.

If the season started today, where are they? What do we think about them? What have we learned about them? What do we think about the Mabs with Kyrie coming back in a month, a couple weeks?
