  1. Not like the ones I remember. Obviously the city has changed a lot but 20 years ago Oakland Arena wasn’t a polite corporate monoculture, and the local fans who could only afford to go sometimes were even less so. Warriors fans in nowadays seem like frontrunners from anywhereville. These kind of people who say they live “in the Bay Area.” Of course the Rangers.
  2. The Warriors fans in Oakland. Not people who cross the bridge. It’s not anything like the old Warriors fans now. You could be anywhere.
  3. How far down do we think this falls by end of season?
  4. Wow, getting clowned by Duo Lingo
  5. On second thought, I can’t go there. Fuck the Lakers.
  6. That has literally never happened to me. I like it better the way it is
  7. I attended Shout Parties in 87 and 88 and had a green and blue “Beat LA” sign. I may give *myself* permission to be a Lakers fan. These are not the Dallas Mavericks. These are the Las Vegas Traitors.
  8. Clearly, this is a franchise that cares about staying in Dallas
  9. I wouldn’t think of the choice a being between turfgrass and xeriscape. I would recommend thinking about it as destroying your yard with an expensive, fragile, ugly, and boring monoculture vs allocating your space to a landscape of interesting, beautiful and essentially maintenance free native and well adapted plants - buffalo grass or zoysia hybrids for turf areas, surrounded by, salvias, wildflowers, prairie short grasses, pony foot and so on.
  10. Yeah, and the people on the Bermuda and St Augustine side are jerkoff morons
  11. Buffalo grass hybrids and zoysia both do OK, but agree
  12. Wang Zhi Zhi once got 18k people a free chalupa. In my house Wang Zhi Zhi is a hero.
  13. Caleb Martin? Y’all are mad about the Caleb trade? Good. Next I hope they trade all future picks to LA for the rights to Kwame Brown. I hope Kyrie demands a trade. I hope Nico gets Noro and shits himself at the presser where he shows off the colorful beads and pieces of hempen string he got for Kyrie. I hope that Jörmungandr and Hel break their chains, Fenrir swallows Odin, and that Surtr covers the earth in fire. Fuck Nico and fuck everything else.
  14. I’m not talking about the fans in the arena. NBA atmosphere is a function of ticket prices. People who are/were Mavs fans first are nothing like primary Cowboys or Rangers fans. The real Mavs fans are city kids from Dallas proper and Oak Cliff who went to DISD schools and have actually been in a fist fight. In particular people who went through the late 80s and early 90’s with the Mavs are the opposite of bandwagon fans. People who are Rangers fans first are “DFW Metro area” people and 972 girls. The Cowboys and Stars attract a lot of those two groups also, but that’s are where bandwagon people gravitate. The Stars also have some really rabid fans who hate the bandwagon. I love(d) all three, but I am (or was) Mavs first, Rangers second and Cowboys third.
  15. The venn diagram of international Mavs fans and international fans whose favorite team is the Lakers is a circle. I have his jersey
  16. It takes the consent of the board of governors, ie the owners. Not really. It would be more lucrative to move there, then decide whether to give the city that lost the franchise an expansion team. The Mavericks are a large local market team with no national fan base, and not for nothing, are the distantly third most important franchise in their own market. I would argue that until Sunday the Mavericks had the most passionate and loyal fan base in the league. They inherited that spot when the Sonics moved out of Seattle and the Warriors left Oakland.
  17. How are the stated objective of the ownership group (a Casino complex in DFW) or their heavily implied plan B (a new casino complex and NBA team in Las Vegas) a conspiracy theory? Those things aren’t conspiratorial. The only question is whether this trade happened explicitly because of, or as part of indirect service to, those objectives. it fits either way. There will be a Casino AND a new stadium in DFW or the Mavs are gone.
  18. Once they get Augustine-pilled it’s very difficult to deprogram them.
  19. I couldn’t do it. The music died on Sunday and I don’t know when or if I’ll be able to watch an NBA game again. This is the lowest moment I have ever experienced as a fan. Utter, complete, shock and betrayal.
  20. I’m not a Republican and I live in Texas. I don’t have to imagine
