  1. You haven’t said shit about Patrick DuMont.
  2. “The first amendment limits the power of congress to regulate speech but, consistent with history and tradition in common law, establishes no such limitation on the power of the President, in his capacity as head of government, to prohibit speech that puts national security or defames or otherwise does insult to the sovereign, in the person of the president.” - Justice Gorsuch, probably
  3. Nah, we’re just conditioned to accept victimization.
  4. Everyone on earth saw “the vision.” The vision is stupid, like the Bulls trading Jordan in 1990 for Tom Chambers and Jeff Hornacek to “open up a 3 year window.”
  5. We should. I’m just having trouble feeling anything.
  6. Gafford is in my top 10 of favorite Mavs ever. Still not enjoying this beat down.
  7. 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.
  8. Speak on it now come on
  9. Exactly. They are on the back foot. Push them!
  10. 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.
  11. He was legal. Stand up for the constitution. A caller is currently shoving it up their ass
  12. Democrats suck at messaging. I do not: He was LEGAL.
  13. 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!!!””
  14. @Ag with kids
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. The most tone deaf people on earth held a “round table” with select media and it went like you would expect
  19. Jesus. He hides from the media and the fans for 2 months and THAT’s what he had to say?
  20. 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.
