The Dallas Mavericks are off to a 2-3 start after five games, and things aren't looking great. Cooper Flagg has shown flashes of his No. 1 overall pick potential at times, but we believe he hasn't been as consistent as he could be due to playing out of position. Also, can the Mavs find enough "easy" offense to reserve enough energy to be all they can be on defense? We discuss all that and more on today's episode.

The Dallas Mavericks' season got off to an uninspiring start on Wednesday night as they lost to the San Antonio Spurs, 125-92. Victor Wembanyama torched the Mavs with 40 points, 15 rebounds, and 3 blocks in just 30 minutes, and potential star rookie Cooper Flagg got off to a slower-than-anticipated start while playing at the point guard position. Dalton Trigg and Drew Johnson break down the good and the bad from Dallas' season-opening loss

On this episode, Coach Drew and I talk about the Dallas Mavericks giving head coach Jason Kidd a contract extension that will take him through at least the 2027-28 NBA season. Despite some of his quirks that draw criticism from Mavs fans on social media at times, Kidd has done a great job overall during his time as head coach in Dallas and deserves this extension. We go into detail on why that is on today’s episode.
