    That's revisionist. I love Brunson but he wasn't the main character, much less close to being an MVP candidate, until the utah series. 

    maybe not “mvp”, but in 21-22 when luka missed time brunson averaged 20.5 pts, 7.5 ast, 3.9 reb. he was really good.

  2. he physically looks better than he ever has. i don’t mean his physique, but the way he moves- his handles, his start-stop-start, his quickness, everything. he isn’t just putting up better stats than ever before, he’s visibly still getting better as a player. it’s incredible.

  3. it’s out thanksgiving of next year?!?! the way people have been talking about it for months i assumed it was coming out some time around now/this past week. well, remind me in 11 months i guess.

  4. what hurts the most about where we’ve been as a program since ~2010-2011, is that (for me) we’ve had only two teams since then that “felt like” what a Texas team is supposed to feel like, ie a team you’re fully invested in with players who are fully invested with multiple years in the program. under penders and barnes that’s all i’d ever known. since that time, only shaka’s first team:

    and Beard’s second team:

    have felt like teams full of “lifetime Longhorns” if you will.

    since then, Texas Basketball has been Jaylon Tyson, Devin Askew, Elijah Mitrou-Long, and a long line of other forgettable players and teams that didn’t leave any real impact on me. i just miss that. real deal “Texas Teams”. feels like we’ve been just hiring mercenaries on a yearly basis for most of the past 15 years. shit is soul crushing.

    Brunson is so wild. Crazy that 3 years ago the Mavs had 2 1st team all-nba players.

    every time luka was out brunson played like an mvp candidate, and dallas was just like, “meh.” they saw him every day in practice too. the incompetency that permeates pro sports organizations of all kinds is staggering.

    No Rex is Cruz in Aledo. Oh wait, did I just dox him?

    he’s not even trying to hide it. so funny how he carries all of the exact same beefs with him between handles, but then swears up and down that it’s not him, every time.
