Thread: After I arrived in Lubbock last night, Matt Dowdy was kind enough to give me a private tour of Texas Tech Football facilities, which are, in a word, Wowzer. A few highlights, starting with the balcony view from the coaches’ offices.

Mark Cuban often has told me his favorite part about owning the Mavericks is that he can get up shots in American Airlines Center whenever he wants. Tonight he’s doing so for the last time as majority owner.

Tough sight for Mavs, Gafford being helped off the court, can’t put weight on his leg. Gafford’s right leg buckled as he went to set a screen. He grabbed his right knee in obvious pain.

Thread: A week ago, as the Mavs (and I) prepared to travel to LA, I met the dog I’d long presumed as the pet of assistant trainer Heather Mau. Actually it was Bailey who ventured over to meet me. Don’t judge me for greeting her in baby talk. Heather asked “Do you have a dog?”

Outstanding to see former Maverick Shawn Bradley and his wife Carrie. Had a nice visit. He comes to one or 2 home games per year. Here’s he’s visiting with ex-Mavs teammate and current Mavs assistant Popeye Jones.

At the end of what might be his last pregame media availability, Gregg Popovich asked if any of the reporters had brought guns into the arena, then had so e things to say about lack of gun control regulation in Tennessee and, well, everywhere in the U.S.

Dirk had 21 season-opening events as a player, but none quite like this. He seemed genuinely blown away. Also nice seeing him in a Mavs-logo polo.

It’s official: Mavs are prepping for the Spurs, specifically 7-4 rookie Victor Wembanyama, with God Shammgod playing the role of Wemby. “Wemby! Wemby” he hollered while going out to defend Irving with his artificial Wemby length.

Tod Martin, AT&T Stadium’s general manager, is the genius who came up with the system to hang the Grow Lights from the rafters instead of rolling them in on wheels. He’s an A&M grad. I asked if this is a case of Aggie ingenuity. He smiled and said “You could say that.”
