Letting Brunson walk is unforgivable. He is averaging 27 points per game in New York and we replaced him with nothing. That decision set this franchise back.

The rideshare tip is real. I always walk to the Perot Museum area before calling an Uber. Wait times drop from 15 minutes to 5 and the surge pricing disappears.

The 2024 Finals loss to Boston was a defensive loss. The Celtics shot 48% from three in the series. You are not beating that regardless of how many points Luka scores.

Every champion in 20 years has been top-10 in defense. That stat alone should tell the front office everything. Offense wins games, defense wins championships is a cliche because it is true.

Luka will be number one on this list when he retires. His production at this age is ahead of Dirk\'s pace. The only question is whether he stays in Dallas long enough to build the full resume.

Kyrie\'s catch-and-shoot at 44.2% is ridiculous. He is basically a cheat code when Luka draws the double and kicks it out. That efficiency is historically good.

The Victory Park outdoor watch parties during playoffs are incredible. During the 2024 run there were 5,000+ people gathered outside AAC watching on screens. Electric.

Luxury tax at $65M is steep. The new ownership needs to commit to paying that for the next 3-4 years while Luka and Kyrie are in their primes. If they cheap out, the window closes.

This run is better than LeBron in 2016 and I will argue that forever. Dirk did it with less help against better opponents.

Sweeping the defending champion Lakers is the part people forget. Kobe, Pau, Bynum, Odom — and Dallas swept them like they were a lottery team. Dirk had 28 per game.

Upper deck corner sections for Mavs games are honestly fine. The sightlines are good and for $30 you cannot beat the value. Save the lower bowl splurge for a playoff game.

Free street parking after 6 PM is the real cheat code. I have been going to games for 5 years and never paid for parking. Walk 3 blocks, save $25.

The Timberwolves series was where I started truly believing. Down 20 in Game 1 and then winning 4 straight against that defense. The adjustments were elite coaching.

A championship is the only thing missing from a Hall of Fame resume. Everything else is already there. He needs help though — you cannot win a title carrying this heavy a load.

The BPM of +10.4 at age 27 is genuinely historic. Only LeBron and Jordan were better at the same age. People do not appreciate what they are watching.

Agreed on the $22 burger. I made that mistake once and I think about it every time I go to a game. That burger personally offended me.

Easy to say trade back until you are sitting there at 14 and the best edge rusher in the class is staring you in the face. Best player available should always win.

Plato\'s Closet in Garland is actually great for vintage sports gear. Cowboys, Mavs, Rangers — the DFW locations get tons of donations.

Three special teams coordinators in four years explains everything. How can a unit develop chemistry and discipline when the scheme changes every year?

Two wins lost to missed field goals is absolutely a fireable offense for a kicker. In a 17-game season, every game matters and you cannot leave points on the field from inside 45 yards.

Washington is the team I am most worried about long-term. Their young core is developing fast and they have cap space to add pieces. In 2-3 years they could be the division favorite.

The time to throw correlation with offensive line injuries is something I have never considered before. It makes perfect sense though. Every extra tenth of a second is more stress on those joints.

The parking cost is criminal. $75 to park on asphalt in Arlington. Meanwhile Mavs games you can find free street parking in Victory Park after 6 PM.

The 72-hour board lock is interesting. Means the Cowboys are not swayed by last-minute rumors or media narratives. The board is the board.

10-7 feels right. Not good enough to be a real contender but good enough to make the playoffs and lose in the wild card round. The Cowboys special.

Weeks 4 through 7 is a gauntlet. Eagles, 49ers, Bills, Ravens. If we come out of that 2-2 I will be thrilled. 1-3 is more realistic.
