It’s been 199 days since our season ended in disaster and frankly disgrace.

17,193,600 seconds 286,560 minutes 4776 hours 28 weeks and 3 days 54.52% of 2023

We were the laughingstock for tanking. Luka was leaving. Cuban should sell the team. Nico doesn’t know what he’s doing. Everything looked grim.

Draft night was first up. The first semblance of turning the page. And man did Nico deliver. Turning literal nothing into multiple picks, one of which is slated to start tomorrow.

Then free agency. Kai resigns immediately. We add Grant Williams, bring back Seth and some other pieces.

Luka got to work the moment the season ended and we got to see some him in some early action in September with the FIBA World Cup.

We made it through training camp without any major new injuries. And even though we won one preseason game I’m pumped as hell for tomorrow.

The misery, pain, frustration, the disappointment all gets wiped away like an eraser on a chalkboard tomorrow. No one gives us a chance to do anything in the west, which is just fine by me. Proving people wrong should motivate the crap out of the Mavs this season. It’s gonna be a battle in the west but let’s go.

I’m predicting a 50+ win season and the number #6 seed.
