  1. We should. I’m just having trouble feeling anything.
  2. Gafford is in my top 10 of favorite Mavs ever. Still not enjoying this beat down.
  3. Which makes it easier to convince them as long as your strategy isn’t NYT Editorials, old people, prestige television stars, opaque nonsense like “opportunity economies” and SMS word walls 10x/day.
  4. Speak on it now come on
  5. Exactly. They are on the back foot. Push them!
  6. So? The goal isn’t to change their minds, the goal is to get more attention than they do, control the subject matter and win popularity contests. Stop thinking like a Democrat and you won’t internalize losing.
  7. He was legal. Stand up for the constitution. A caller is currently shoving it up their ass
  8. Democrats suck at messaging. I do not: He was LEGAL.
  9. Whoa- you’re talking about Playground Legend Patrick DuMont of NYC! The Dew! His signature move was the “dew drop,” but his whole game was built on close, championship caliber defense. He gave Jamal Mashburn FITS at the Rucker. Mash would try to drive past DuMont and get his pocket picked clean, and the announcer would yell, “You can’t shake THE DEEEEEWWWWW!!!””
  10. @Ag with kids
  11. I don't buy any of the scenarios involving Finley. if Luka had a beef with Mike Finley, Finley would have settled it, quickly and behind closed doors, for the good of the team. Michael Finley is an absolute professional and has been universally respected inside and outside of the Mavericks organization his entire career. Dozens of players on both his team and opposing teams have pointed to him as the guy who taught them how to be professionals. People have just let their imaginations run wild with the beer can thing, it's not more than it is. I guess it's possible that Luka and Nico got into it, but Nico strikes me as extremely passive aggressive - the sort of person who nurtures a grudge long term. It seems more likely that Luka was simply noncompliant and difficult to manage, and Nico resented it.
  12. As long as we are talking about silly guns, after one year I can report that my Kel-Tec Sub2000 is the silliest and second shittiest* gun I have, and I enjoy the hell out of shooting it. *The shittiest gun I have is a Tec 9, a somewhat less silly piece of shit that I also enjoy less.
  13. This thing was such a clown show that Welts comparing the Mavs trading Luke to the Warriors trading Monte Ellis is flying under the radar. And I love Monte Ellis.
  14. The most tone deaf people on earth held a “round table” with select media and it went like you would expect
  15. Jesus. He hides from the media and the fans for 2 months and THAT’s what he had to say?
  16. If there’s one thing the NBA Governors have demonstrated over and over, it is that they will allow any team to move if their local community doesn’t provide direct financial support for a new arena. That being the case, show me how the Mavericks organization has enough goodwill to get voter support for a giveaway (esp now, in a shakier economy, with higher financing and material costs due to tarriffs), or explain why the Adelsons would pay for one themselves without the additional revenue from a Casino complex. Again, even if setting this situation up wasn’t the objective, they’ve already done the league a huge favor by sending the next historic great to the most important team, which is worth way more than an expansion fee. Why would the league stop them from doing what they want, if the taxpayers won’t pay up and the lege doesn’t give them what they need to make self-funding viable? See above- if the taxpayers won’t support an arena, political pressure on the lege to allow gambling so the Mavs can self fund increases. My bet is that it’s not enough as long as the people who own the Lt gov and senate are still ascendant.
  17. Interesting- walk me through why you are protecting his downside? I’m trying to teach my daughters that we make money investing because we are literally being paid to accept someone’s risk, and therefore to get comfortable with losing sometimes. Do you think your son can learn that with you protecting his downside? Indeed- curious what you get from this approach that you couldn’t get from the many buffered ETFs out there?
  18. And if all that doesn’t work, they bring in THE COMFY CHAIR
  19. Yeah, I know what it is. It describes the region outside of Dallas that is not the City of Dallas. I can’t bring myself to root for another team but I really feel nothing for this organization all of a sudden, and if it leaves Downtown Dallas for Irving that would also feel like betrayal to me. The Mavs have always been a part of city life*. No, they’ve just asserted that they have no plans to move. That doesn’t mean it can’t or won’t happen if they don’t get a stadium deal in “North Texas,” and while anything could happen, at this moment there’s not much taxpayer goodwill to pay for that, and even less for casino gambling. Probably, because Seattle is going to go before Vegas, and that will take a 3-4 years if it was announced today, so would likely be 3-4 years after a move. *Im counting the Moody Coliseum playoff game in 1984 on account of the central location.
  20. Nobody humblebrags like Seb Gorka
