  1. The best part is you don't even need to see the name, or know the color of the team, to know exactly who that is... Mississippi State of course... They sure do like to move the goal posts... The best part is he probably means this.
  2. Sloth, did in fact, Know Ball.
  3. Agreed. Exactly what I was saying. Could be Jax vs Arizona and it's going to do ratings.
  4. That's not enough...to take Bronny off your hands alone would require your best 1st round pick you can offer. And throw in Reeves and it'll be close. Honestly watch Dallas/Lakers do some deal with Gafford. Not sure what the fuck Dallas could get back as Reeves or Luka, obviously, is all that's worth anything on that team now(lebron at 40 no thanks)
  5. I think the Wings made the right moves, and adding Paige, will get them into the backend of the playoffs. But too many new pieces and too young to really challenge. And honestly, if Arike doesn't become more of a catch and shoot player more selective, it'll be bad. Last year I know she was basically the only offense for chunks of the year...but she can't be chucking them in and out of games. She's an amazing scorer, but has to be more efficient.
  6. Totally pulling for the Nuggets comeback. Get Jokic a chance to revenge their loss to Minny last year, and another title befitting someone who should probably be a 4 time consecutive MVP. And It may just be my OKC bias...I just don't like a team that acts like it's arrived and done shit, when they haven't made it out the 2nd round ever with this current roster.
  7. Bro what? She absolutely can't make short shots/layups but she is a damned good rebounder. It's not just her own misses. C'mon be real. yeah this...she hasn't learned yet, and may never, that getting the rebound, even within 3 feet, and passing it back to the outside to get another shot with a new clock is infinitely better than going up 3-5 times herself. Last year there was NEVER a reason she should have lead the Sky with shot. Average 12 plus shots a game on 38-40% shooting from 5 feet or less? It's horrendous. This year they have better ball handlers and guards, and Cardosa should have been the focal point of that offense, not Reese.
  8. Yeah I don't think he can't do it...just want to hear it before getting hyped. He pulls the look...but the mannerisms and voice matter for that.
  9. My dream scenario is to Trade AD(they won't) and keep PJ to be the 4(his natural spot). Flagg/PJ/Lively is damned good defensively, rebounding, and even scoring to varying degrees. I would absolutely take Colby White and even White(even with that contract) to keep them afloat until Kyrie is back. Even a guy like Schroder fits too...I'm sure they'll find some ball handler between now and the season. When Healthy Ky/Klay/Cooper/PJ/Lively and still a decent bench with Naji and the like. I don't think they'll sit klay...but if they get a Derek or Colby White player, it's probaby Ky/White starting and Klay/Naji/Omax/Powell off the bench. I'm probalby missing guys but that's still a very solid team with a mix of young and vets and a future. Who absolutely could contend next year if Flagg is close to what they think. But yea, the'll keep AD, trade Gafford/PJ and probalby get a guard back to hold the fort and maybe some future assets and roll with Ky/Klay/Cooper/AD/Lively and a good bench(still good IF everyone is healthy. a legit threat. Man WTF for his salary and asked to do WAY more than he was expected, he was perfectly fine. I hope they don't feel they HAVE to start him, but they probably will. OH yeah Klay, at his salary, was a good player for them, considering he was asked to play more, and do more, than he was supposed to. GOD I wanted to see this team fully realized with Luka. Even with the Lively/Gafford injuries, and even with Ky being hurt...they still make the playoffs and give the Thunder a run.
  10. Gee wonder what team they keep pushing for no damned reason... The cowboys have 7 Prime time games(for now) the final game of the season is tbd...and if the Cowboys are good they'll probably flex some game late. Add in all the 3:25 stars and they keep putting them in the national window.
  11. And yeah tanking is bad now, imagine it if they could make sure they got that pick...
  12. I so love when people respond with this stupid shit. It was a fucking question on how this thread could have possible grown since the draft, and in the last 2-3 days without anything happening at all...
  13. OH absolutely. Just to start another civil war on social media between their fanbases. Fair. I like Angel too...that's what sucks. If the girl would learn to not take 12 plus shots a game while shooting 38-40% from 5 feet or less, she'd be so much more valuable and taken more seriously. She's a super high level role player(ELITE rebounding and very good to great defense) on a title contender. Not the star despite her clout, and she doesn't understand that yet.
  14. "Great" is being so fucking stretched here. But I'll allow it for the shot at Johnny. Whole Summer plus of this.
  15. That does NOT look like Christina Bale. And Cage is pulling off a younger Madden. Need to hear his voice/cadence though.
  16. Are the ratings struggling? They didn't need Dallas on opening night...Jax/Miami would bring ratings. They don't have to have Dallas/KC...Dallas and the Cardinals would be huge.
  17. How the fuck has this thread grown 10 pages since sunday, if not more...and this many since the end of the draft. Jesus.
  18. Deserved? For fucking what? You idiots lucked into a injury season from Robinson that got you Duncan...then got handed Wemby, and got Cassell too and think you "deserved" Flagg? Spurs for some reason be getting gifted shit like they the Lakers. NOPEEEE I think thee was absolutely something going on.
  19. I said all over X that it must be in the NBA bylaws for the turn of the century that Dallas MUST have a White Super Star...but hey, at least he's American this time.
  20. She don't wanna answer and have to tell the truth.
  21. He wasn't when he left, and he was stuck to the bench the playoffs the year before. By the Time Dallas actually saw what Brunson was, he shut it down. Sure he would have signed 4/55 that summer. But the Mavs would have been stupid to do it at that time based on what he'd actually done for them on the court. This. Yeah they keep pushing this narrative. He would have signed that summer. Mavs pushed the date cause they wanted to see him play, rightfully so. Even STILL he wasn't THIS Brunson in Dallas. Much like Steve Nash he had to leave for his own team to become the stud he is anwyays. exactly. Can we stop this...the Mavs aren't leaving. Would be an absolute shit storm if they did after all this. I know some would hate this, but not me. Giddey holding it down till Kai got back. Don't need to be a scorer at all, just play defense and facilitate.
  22. I think Vegas gets a team first personally(even though Seattle SHOULD) That's if they have them lined up...there is a groundswell for a Vegas team. They would have so many groups trying to buy in it would be silly. The last point isn't worth it. If the Owners lose out on Casinos in Texas, they're more likely to sell out than try to move. They didn't get into the Mavs for the basketball, but as a catalyst for an all encompassing new Casino/entertainment market in North Texas. They don't need the Mavs for that in Vegas. It just don't make sense. And now with the draft, the interest will be back for the Mavs, right or wrong, so the chances are less IMO.
  23. I was shocked and of course it was rigged. For the first time EVER in Dallas favor. A team that has never had the #1 pick, and has never even moved up in the lottery once in 17 tries. Oh, and the Mavericks are NOT moving to Vegas. You may not believe the "top 5 market shit" but what you will believe as that the owners would lose 20+ million in buy in fees bynot doing a new team, and letting them move. It's not happening.
  24. Why do people say stuff like this? The offense was very very good 2 years ago when Dak was 2nd in MVP voting. And the two years prior when Dak was healthy. Pretty much any year outside of 2017(zeke suspensions/Dez/Witten declining like rocks and Twill sucking AND the OL was a mash unit on the left side) they've been a good to very good offense when Dak is healthy and the OL isn't shit. Not surprisingshould be "Highest rated non Playoff game since ect...) levels.
