The 202526 NBA schedule has officially been released. Welcome into Mavericks today by chat sports. Jeffrey Cooperstein here with you guys and I wanted to take a look at some of the key dates here in the 202526 schedule for the Dallas Mavericks. Of course, everyone plays 82 games and of course we all know that you play your division four times, you play the East two times, etc. But let’s look at some of the key dates here on the schedule and what all that entails. We’ll get into that in just a second. But before we do that, appreciate everyone on this list for following me on Twitter. I asked you guys on yesterday’s show to go give me a follow. And Christopher Big Kev, Peter the Bellhop, Dtown, Dtown, is it DTtown’s hug or Dtown Suge? Either way, appreciate you and Stephen Weinberg. Appreciate all of y’all as well. And also be sure to hit that subscribe button at youtube.com/mavs TV because we’re covering the Mavericks better than anyone else here on YouTube. Let’s hop into the season opener, which we knew already what this one was going to be. It’s the San Antonio Spurs at the Dallas Mavericks and 8:30 p.m. Central time tip off. That one will be a national TV game here at the American Airlines Center. And this is becoming an annual tradition at this point. It’s the third straight year the Mavericks and Spurs have opened the season the second time, second consecutive year in Dallas. So, very exciting to see the Mavericks versus the Spurs because it is a traditional rivalry and I think there’s a lot of bad blood from I would say older fans between the Mavericks and the Spurs. Over the last 10 years or so, the Spurs haven’t been very good and the Mavericks have had their ups and downs as well. So, the rivalry has lost some of its luster a little bit, but I think longtime fans of both of these franchises would say that they are each other’s biggest rival. I think the Mavericks have quite a few rivalries to be honest. You have the Spurs. Obviously, the Rockets as a natural instate rival. The Miami Heat, I would consider a rival of the Dallas Mavericks. And then, if you look at more recent and modern times, you could certainly say the Los Angeles Clippers, the Phoenix Suns, the Oklahoma City Thunder. I could consider all of those rivalries. I think the Mavericks verse Thunder rivalry was uh was destined for something special, but then we all know what happened there. So, look, I think the Spurs right right now are one of the Mavericks biggest rivals, but overall I would say historically it’s definitely the San Antonio Spurs. I want to ask you guys right now though as we sit here today on August 14th, 2025, who is the Maverick’s biggest rival right now? Do you think it’s the Spurs? Do you think it’s the Houston Rockets? Is it still the Miami Heat? Let me know down there in the comment section who you think the Map’s biggest rival is right now. The defending champs come to Dallas in the first or in the for the first time this season on October 27th and the Mavericks open the season with five straight home games. So, they’re going to have a pretty fun home stand there to start. Look, the Mavs vers OKC matchup has been fantastic. And over the last couple of seasons, the Mavericks really have had some pretty good luck against Oklahoma City. They won three games against them last year. And you can see right there, OKC only lost 14 total games last season. So, the Mavericks certainly give them fits and we all know PJ Washington loves playing against Oklahoma City. Always fun to see the defending champs come to town. OKC comes here on October 27th. That one will be a 7:30 p.m. tip off at the American Airlines Center. Hopefully the Mavs can get off to a good start by going and beating OKC, but we’ll see what happens there. And then in black on Black Friday, an NBA Cup game, the first Luca Donic matchup of the season between the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers. I have a bone to pick with the NBA on this one. Does the NBA not know that Texas and Texas A&M are playing that same night at 6:30? Technically, yeah, you’ll be able to catch the end of Mavericks Lakers. You got to read your audience a little bit. I know the NBA doesn’t care about the Longhorns and the Agies, but there this game will be a nationally televised game uh as most Laker games are to be honest with you. And it’s Mavs vers Luca. That one will be a 900 p.m. Central time tip off on Black Friday. So, while you’re eating your leftover turkey, your leftover mac and cheese, and all of that good stuff, whatever you eat at Thanksgiving, you can watch Luca Donuch and the Lakers take on the Mavericks at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. And I love Mavs verse Lakers. You could also say that could be an answer to who’s the Maverick’s biggest rival, the Lakers, because the Mavs and Lakers always have historical matchups. It’s always a fun matchup. The Lakers are the flagship franchise in the NBA, whether you like it or not. And even if the Lakers aren’t good, it always feels like Mavs vers Lakers is a big matchup. The Lakers are here at the American Airlines Center on January 24th and April 5th. So mark those two game two dates down in your calendar if you want to come see Luca Donuch back at the American Airlines Center. So those are your uh two dates there. And the Mavericks also played the Los Angeles Lakers in LA on February 12th. So those are your four matchups there against Los Angeles. They could play him an extra time if they match up with them in the NBA Cup. So, the Mavs and Luca will see each other four times, maybe even five this season. Predicted for me though down in the comments section, what will be the Mavericks record versus the Lakers this year? Can they clean sweep them and go 4-0? Do you think it’ll be a split at 2 and2? Let me know down there in the comment section what you think the Mavericks record against the Los Angeles Lakers will be this upcoming season. And while you do that, we have a cool opportunity for you guys over at Fanatics. When you go to chatsports.comfl, that link is in the comments and description of today’s show. We have Cooper Flag jerseys available in all sizes and colors. You can go get your Cooper flag jersey today at chatsports.com/fl. And when you use that link, we get a part of the proceeds as well. So, you’re supporting the channel while going and getting yourself the newest Mavericks rookie jersey right there. The number 32 in the championship blues looks so fresh. And I can’t wait to see Cooper Flag take on all these teams we’re talking about here today. One more time, it’s chatports.com/fl. That link will be in the comments and description of today’s show. The Mavericks are playing on Christmas Day for the sixth consecutive year as Cooper Flag keeps the Mavs in the Christmas Day conversation. This time they will be playing against the Golden State Warriors in the Bay Area. I’m kind of surprised that this one is going to be a 400 PM tip. So, I believe that will be the third of five Christmas Day games. The Knicks usually play the early game, followed by another Eastern Conference game, and then the Mavericks will play the third game here against Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. It’s always fun playing on Christmas. I view Christmas as NBA day where you just sit there from 11:30 a.m. Central time to about 11 pm central time watching all five of those games after you’ve opened up your presents of course and in the presence of your family and your loved ones enjoying Christmas Day. Uh it it just always feels like a special day and I know it’s one of 82 regular season games, but the Christmas Day game always feels like it’s a bigger one. It’s kind of like July 4th in baseball or like opening day in baseball where yeah, it’s 10162, but it really feels like it’s a bigger game. That’s how I feel about Christmas Day and another bone to pick with the NFL because they’re trying to steal Christmas as well. Total BS. But on Christmas Day, you can watch your Dallas Mavs and Cooper Flag play. Hopefully, you opened a Cooper flag jersey from a loved one who used chatports.com/FL flag, which is down in the comments and description. MLK Day, we’ll see the Mavericks play. And the Mavericks have played on MLK day a few times here recently against the Atlanta Hawks, against the Memphis Grizzlies, and it feels like they’ve had bad luck on Martin Luther King Day. I don’t know why, maybe I’m off base on that, but it just feels like they don’t win those games very often. And they’re playing against the New York Knicks, who I believe always play at home on MLK day as well. That one will be a 400 p.m. tip off at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, New York. The Knicks are going to be really good this year once again. They have Jaylen Brunson returning who played who’s playing at an allNBA level the last couple of seasons. They made the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 1999 uh last year. So, the Knicks are going to be a really good squad this year. We’ll see what happens with them, but I expect this game to be hotly contested. And when you’re playing on a day like MLK Day, which the NBA uh teams is very special, it’s always fun to fun to play in those marquee events. and watching the Mavs play on MLK day on a Monday in the middle of the afternoon. What could be better than that? So, Mavs versus Knicks on MLK day. Be on the lookout for that one. I think that could be one of the better matchups here of the season. And then to round it out, game 82. Hopefully this game means nothing. Hopefully, the Mavericks have already secured a top six or whatever seed in the Western Conference and they can rest everybody. You’re seeing your two-way guys like Ryan Nehard and Miles Kelly play in this game against the Chicago Bulls. I think the Bulls are going to be pretty bad this year. They still haven’t even signed Josh Giddy yet, who’s a restricted free agent, and we’re in the middle of August. So, one of their best players still sits unsigned as we currently stand. I believe they did sign Billy Donovan to a contract extension earlier this off season as well. But I don’t think the Bulls are going to be any good. Um, if the Mavericks do need to win this game, I think they can go into Chicago and win it. Although, they have not played super well in Chicago as of late either. So, uh, this this one could be tricky, but hopefully at the end of the day, it means nothing because the Mavs have already wrapped up their seating here in the Western Conference. So, we’ve taken a look at six key games for you guys on the Mavericks 2526 NBA schedule. I want you to predict it for me in the comment section. How many games will the Mavericks win this season? I’ll tell you this right now. Their overunder total is 39 and a half. I would easily take the over on that one. I will predict right now the Mavericks win 46 games this season. That’s my prediction. Give me yours down there in the comments section. And please go give me a follow on Twitter at jeff_coup27. Always tweeting out about the Mavs and about the NBA and everything Dallas sports related.

Clippers biggest rival….
I know this is weirdly off topic, but this is like the thousandth time in the last couple of years that I’ve heard someone talk about mac and cheese on Thanksgiving. I must have grown up in a weird family or something because I have two large family gatherings at Thanksgiving and mac and cheese has never, I repeat, NEVER been a side option. It wasn’t until I heard mostly NBA players being asked their favorite Thanksgiving dish that I became aware of mac and cheese being a Thanksgiving dish. It sort of blows my mind that this is a common Thanksgiving dish for so many people but I never knew that was the case until I was 40ish years old.
Our common Thanksgiving dishes:
Turkey
Ham
Dressing/stuffing & giblet gravy
Green bean casserole
Spicy corn casserole
Creamy potato casserole
Broccoli, cheese, rice casserole
Potato salad
Mashed potatoes & gravy
Buttered carrots
Cream style corn
Collared greens
Green beans with onions and bacon
Deviled eggs
Salad
3 bean salad
Fruit salad
Cranberry sauce
Sweet potatoes with marshmallows
Pecan pie
Apple pie
Pumpkin pie
Banana pudding
Rolls, cornbread
I’m probably leaving out multiple dishes, but in my 4+ decades on this planet, my two huge family Thanksgivings each year never included mac and cheese until I remedied that last year. I eat mac and cheese regularly throughout the year, but until last year, I had never considered it to be a Thanksgiving dish. So I did some research and cooked it the way people prefer it at thanksgiving, which is often baked, which I had never had baked mac and cheese. So, I didn’t realize it until my 40’s that I had missed out on what turned out to be one of the best and often most preferred Thanksgiving dishes. Now I make baked mac and cheese multiple times per year because it’s so good.
This is such an odd, random tangent, but I just felt compelled to share.
I’m also curious if anyone else has gone their entire lives without the pleasure of baked mac and cheese on Thanksgiving, or if my family is the only weird one.
