  1. Remember this when you’re thinking about this roster Nico built: he got lucky as shit to get Cooper Flagg. Imagine if this team didn’t have Flagg. That is the roster he envisioned. Insane.
  2. People really need to stop going to the games. There’s nothing else that will get the attention of the owners at this point. For real, even if offered a free ticket, I’m out at this point. I am one who will go watch a bad team if they are building something. I won’t go watch this. And there’s no hope until Nico is gone.
  3. Getting absolutely run off the floor by a bad Memphis team. I think the players have quit.
  4. The most obvious thing to do at this point is to trade away AD and send Klay to a contender. I'd probably try to get something for Gafford as well. Need to start replenishing picks because we do not have our own 1st rounder after this year until 2031. I'd be okay keeping Kyrie to mentor Flagg, but I would not let him play this year. Need to tank and get another top 3 pick. Next year you roll with (not counting for positions here) Flagg, Kryie, Christie, Lively, PJ, and hopefully a top 3 pick as the core going forward. And who am I kidding? Powell will be there as well.
  5. Inflation, bruh. Gonna be even more than that if you decide to get a number on it.
  6. Why on Earth is Gio being called in? Dude has played hardly at all and cannot stay healthy. Hard pass until he consistently plays for his club.
  7. Remember when the Mavs got run off the floor by the Spurs on opening night and Wemby destroyed us? Luka just outplayed Wemby and led a pretty mediocre Laker roster to a win over that same team. Basketball doesn't have to be this hard.
  8. Man…Pelicans are a terrible team on a back-to-back and missing Zion? Holy shit the wheels are about to come off this thing.
  9. If Nico gets canned, I think that's what would happen. But we're going to have to ride this out because he has the Kyrie injury excuse.
  10. I want to like the Mavs again. I still check the box scores but do not watch. I just don't think I can watch again until Nico is gone. I just cannot stomach it.
  11. Adams with an equalizer vs City!
  12. I'm not far off from this. I think the best shot we have is to score our opening 2 possessions and play with a lead all afternoon. Scoring is going to be tough to come by for this offense by the 2nd half IMO.
  13. Thanks for sharing. This makes me think we're really going to have to get off to a fast start to win this, because it seems like he's going to get figured out as the game goes along. I say that because the longer the game goes, Vandy is going to take away those timing routes, and we're going to see him deal with a lot of pressure like Arch does each week. Personally, I would be ecstatic if we scored 20 points in this game. I think defense and special teams is going to have to be the difference again. Running the ball successfully would go a long way, but I'm not holding my breath there.
  14. Somehow the offense clicked tonight. Still gave up 129 points.
  15. The "turn the page" era didn't even last 2 games, which tells me nobody was really turning the page. These chants need to keep happening, and I don't see any reason they won't. This team is likely to start 0-7 before they might have a chance against the Pelicans.
  16. I didn’t watch but I’m not terribly surprised. This was a flawed roster we could see coming from a mile away. We went from one of the best PGs ever to not having anybody who can dribble the basketball. Kyrie isn’t going to fix this. Also, how’s that “defense wins championships” mantra working out for you, Nico? We’ve been pasted 2 games in a row. Meanwhile Luka has 32 points at halftime.
  17. Weah could be an unfortunate casualty with this new formation. I just don’t see a great spot for him. Not that he won’t play a lot of minutes, but he’s probably 2nd choice behind Dest for me at RWB. Aaronson FINALLY score his 2nd premier league goal just now!
  18. Any lineup that doesn’t include a healthy Tillman is just wrong. Tillman, CP, and Balo are the front 3.
  19. This is about what I thought going into the season, honestly. We have zero playmakers in the half court. Teams are just going to prevent any fast breaks and force us to beat them in the half court. I just don’t think building a defense-first team can be a consistent winner in this NBA.
  20. Arena seems pretty dead. I think people are interested to see Flagg but still not a lot of fire. It’s also 9 pm so maybe that has something to do with it.
  21. Awesome to see Pepi out there doing with in champions league, but wtf happened to Napoli? Defending Serie A champs getting run off the field is bizarre.
  22. Imagine watching that Kentucky game and coming away pissed off at the defense. It might be time for me to take a couple of days off from the football board.
  23. Yea I have a real hard time seeing Zimmerman making it at this point. Would rather bring in the young kid, Banks. I'd still like to see Johnny get a shot again in this new formation we're playing. Part of me wonders if that will fit him better. I know we're all victims of the moment with Roldan having a good showing, but I'm still not convinced Johnny won't be a better option if we can get his club version.
