  1. I hope you're right. I'm just assuming the worst possible outcome at each step at this point. If fans are going to be enraged regardless, it makes no sense to keep him. They can start repairing the relationship now or let this spiral even worse when we have nothing to build a team around in 2 years.
  2. I will say, in the 10 minutes or so I listened, Nico was more composed than I thought he'd be. I didn't leave it thinking he's getting canned as soon as this is over.
  3. Another Article from Tim Cato Took some of the relevant portions from Reddit: However, those team sources consistently express belief that Dumont no longer sees Harrison as a figure with irreproachable basketball expertise. Most notably, team and league sources say, Dumont has had frustration with Harrison not warning him — or, perhaps even more damningly, being unaware — of the fandom's outrage following the trade. Those same sources say it had some influence over Dumont's decision to make Harrison appear for last week's closed media event, which Harrison did not want to participate in. While Kidd was understandably frustrated this season with the team's injury crisis, he also resented the front office's midseason Dončić trade, multiple team and league sources say, even if he shared some of Harrison's frustrations with Dončić that led to his trade of him. That Kidd felt he had been asked to reinvent what had been a roster built around one specific star, team and league sources say, led to the midseason exasperation that notably culminated in him skipping a league-mandated post-game press conference in February.
  4. I heard the Ticket is carrying it live, but I'm unclear about a video stream.
  5. I just don't see how Nico keeps his job through the summer. Sources inside the org have clearly turned against him and the owner is making him do press "events" he doesn't want to do. I think today could get really ugly for him at this press conference. The media, MacMahon especially, are not going to let him off the hook and he's going to have no where to hide.
  6. After the past 2 months, nobody can blame you for that. I’m just pretending tonight. Just need to let the hate go for a few hours.
  7. Man, he’s not that high up the list for me yet, but we’ll see what the future holds. I will admit, I’m enjoying the beat down because I’m happy for all the dudes on the team from last year. They’re not doing anything after this, but they are playing with a lot of pride we should all be proud of.
  8. Still love the watching Gafford. Box score is very meh, but he’s had a big effect on the game. Also getting vintage Klay is nice. AD finally hit a big shot.
  9. I can’t believe we went from making the finals to the entire league feeling sorry for us, even Rockets and Spurs fans, in a matter of months. And somehow Nico lives on despite tanking the team and finances of the org. The weird part is the roster made zero sense even after the trade. Even if Kyrie was healthy, we had nobody else to dribble the basketball. And this dude thinks that was a championship roster?
  10. Burn this thing to the ground. They don't understand a damn thing.
  11. Our local media will also be completely without fortitude during this session. Just embarassing "professionals" all around.
  12. Nico Press Conference Today No cameras or recording devices allowed. What an absolutely wuss this guy is.
  13. I've never heard of the Quruom Report, but if that's true, you have to think these reps are hearing it from their constituents and getting queezy.
  14. Follow is in a tough spot because Dumont and Nico are too big of pussies to face the music so they have been completely absent for 2 months. The void has left people like Follow, whose job is not to handle stuff like this, in a very awkward spot. All that being said, and this is not his fault, Follow is one of the last people I want to hear talk about this whole saga because he’s not going to say anything of substance.
  15. It absolutely was Nico-driven. I'm on the record that I think he's gone this summer after the financial fallout becomes much more apparent. You cannot make a move that loses the franchise "...over 9 figures" (according to MacMahon) and keep your job. I know this is a bit of backtracking and probably unpopular, but I do think, years from now, I could forgive Dumont if he actually came out and said he was a basketball idiot and made a mistake leaving all the basketball decisions to Nico. Of course, this would be after he made the right call and fired Nico and Kidd. There's a path where the Mavs could be a really good team 4-5 years from now, but they need to hit the restart button now to make that happen.
  16. I'm not ready for this shit tonight. I do hope the Fire Nico chants are rampant and Luka goes off for 50.
  17. The Senate has already done this...
  18. Wait, are you actually a Limey?
  19. The lack of a high quality GK for the USMNT has been perplexing for some time for me. I would just assume give Steffan another shot since he's actually playing.
  20. Panama hanging in there with Mexico. 1-1 at half.
  21. I’d like to see them paired together.
  22. Not really his fault but can we end the CCV experiment? Such a limited player. No height, no speed, and not a great passer. We have got to sort out the defense and GK situation. I know injuries hurt us this week, but I would have loved to see Richards and McKenzie get a shot. I’ve had enough of Turner if he’s not playing consistent club ball. Goals weren’t really his fault today, but he’s terrible passing the ball and a big reason we get trapped in the back. Luna needs to stay but that’s about the only positive I see out these two games.
