Terrible. Gosh, everybody's horrible. It's, uh, it's good times. It's good times to have.

It was funny. I tweeted. I was like, it's good to have basketball back on the timeline again.

And this was like earlier in the evening. And you feel the same at the end of the night?

And then by, yeah, by the end of the night, I was like, yeah, yes, this kind of isn't fun to be on this timeline now.

But it was fun, it was fun to at least see real Mavs basketball being played for the for the sake of content like we can actually like

examine what is real what is not um yeah it can we can finally silence all the commenters like

why don't you guys talk about something real why don't you guys talk about the same thing I'm like

well we've been talking about Cooper flag for five months he hasn't played a Mavs game yet. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, you can't.

Talk about Cooper. I'm tired of Cooper talk. Yeah. You've beaten to the ground. Say, you just mention the guy who's name starts with an L and people lose their mind. Well, I have some bad news for you. With today's show, we're going to talk about Cooper Flagg's true role because a teammate of his said that he's playing out of position right now.

So we'll talk about Cooper Flagg's true role because a teammate of his said that he's playing out of position right now.

So we'll talk about that. We'll also talk about how long the offense will take to get ready. But we want to focus today on what's real from the Mab's opening night loss because it was awful. It was literally awful. You don't know how awful it was? I went to cleaning the glass today,

stat site,

and they have this stat called win, win prediction, and it's like, within 82

games, how many wins are you expected to have if your stats were like this for the whole

season? If the MAV's stats from game one, their efficiency, both on offense and on defense,

stayed the exact same as they did in game one, they would win one and a half games.
