In this episode we quickly react to the Mavs 126-119 win over the San Antonio Spurs on opening night to spoil Victor Wenbanyama's NBA debut. We react to the incredible performance by Dereck Lively in his first NBA Game (16 pts, 10 reb) as well as talk about the brilliance of Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving. We also highlight the Mavs' execution on their commitment to playing at a faster pace as well as showing more toughness on defense. We also sing the praises of Grant Williams to contributed 17 points along with stellar defense and hustle plays that helped elevate the Mavs in crunch time, very unlike what happened last season.

Game 1 is in the books, now 81 more to go.
