Holy smokes. Anyone watching Sunday's breathtaking Game 1 simply can't wait for the next battle in the Spurs/Mavericks showdown: everyone, that is, except for fans of either team, who all had heart attacks and keeled over from the intensity.

The Mavs led...

On our way to work this morning aboard the Gold Dillo (the Dillo’s are free, y’all), we saw an assortment of police and emergency vehicles, along with multiple Cap Metro busses, lined up in front of the Hyatt on Riverside.

Upon his exit, he was reminded of his bag, and he ran. Another bag was spotted near the pool. Austin authorities are using robotic technology to determine the contents of the bag. We will let you know more details as they become available.
