On today's show, in 2025, I hope the Mavericks, Mavs fans, and everyone listening learned one thing.

Don't ever close your title window.

This is Cooper Flagg, and you're listening to Lockdown Mallor.

I think that's a good question.

Good morning, all these changes.

you've been gone been hold trying to hold down the fort it feels like i was gone for a long time

it was like three days it was three days it felt like an eternity uh last show, if y'all haven't listened. Altimer. I mean, Siley and I are just talking about country music and just so many random things. Which neither of you know anything about? No, not at all. And I was like, all right. We're pushing the limits on Nick being gone now. So Nick is back.

Thank God.

We're back.

The ship has the ship is now back on course. I don't know what course it is. We'll figure out what that is. You miss some really good games, Nick. We're going to talk about lessons that we've learned in 2025 that the Mavericks should have learned. I don't want to talk about Cooper Flagg. We'll talk about Anthony Davis. things on the court.

I think the maps have learned for this team.

I've got some random ones.

I'll throw out at you that I think we've learned so far this season. But let's start here because this is the last lockdown maps of 2025. And this year has been just one of the most insane sports years, a team, a franchise, a fan base has ever gone through. And I think that it is

important for us sometimes to look back and say, all right, what lessons can we learn? What lessons

should we learn from everything that just went down? Like gestures to everything. We're going to have

a show, I think, coming up soon with the three of us, with Isaac slightly and myself, where we go

through the whole timeline of what happened in 2025 and just like remember stuff and go back through everything and talk about, all right, where are the Mavericks now compared to where they started at the beginning of all this? And it's insane and wild. But if we're talking about lessons the Mabbs should learn from this last season, the first one is don't close your window. Don't close your own window. If you got a title window, your team makes the NBA finals, you don't make it, you don't close it yourself and think, I'm smarter than everybody else in the room. You have a star, you have something that works, that is working in the NBA. You just ride it out and you've got to make that thing work. And I think that's something
