  1. 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?
  2. Burn this thing to the ground. They don't understand a damn thing.
  3. Our local media will also be completely without fortitude during this session. Just embarassing "professionals" all around.
  4. Nico Press Conference Today No cameras or recording devices allowed. What an absolutely wuss this guy is.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. I'm not ready for this shit tonight. I do hope the Fire Nico chants are rampant and Luka goes off for 50.
  9. The Senate has already done this...
  10. Wait, are you actually a Limey?
  11. 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.
  12. Panama hanging in there with Mexico. 1-1 at half.
  13. I’d like to see them paired together.
  14. 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.
  15. Luna belongs here and it’s embarrassing it’s taken this long to get him some run. Dude plays with attitude this team so desperately lacks.
  16. BTW, WTF is Ream doing here? Mark a man, dude! Maybe the man with the ball? Made zero effort to close out that shot.
  17. Kidd could have been complaining a lot behind the scenes but still be surprised the move happened without him knowing.
  18. Pepi and Balogun are our best strikers when healthy, both were out. Dest also hasn't played in over a year. Having him would have been very useful in breaking down the bunker. Johnny would have also been a nice option to have as well. It's really tough to say we didn't dominate the game when you look at this: I'm not going to get on the negative train quite yet, but if we see this team get punched in the mouth against Canada on Sunday, the alarm bells will be going off for me.
  19. Took my kindergarten son to a pub to watch tonight. He told me he doesn’t even want someone to say a word that begins with the letter P tomorrow because he’s so mad at Panama. Sad but proud of him at the same time. This was a weird game. No way we should have lost this, but I do think this game shows how much we miss Dest and Jedi if we’re going to have Adams in the middle against a bunkering team. If teams are going to bunker, Adams’s value goes way down. I would have like to see Gio in the middle for 20 minutes. He’s way more likely to break something open.
  20. The video, which was discussing the book, seems to implicate Kidd a lot more than previously known. The further we get away from the trade, the more this stinks of Nico and Kidd being ego driven and Dumont just being a basketball dumbass who put his trust in the wrong people.
  21. I guess MacMahon's book got published. Dumb zone discussing it here. Warning: gonna continue to piss you off. The Wonder Boy: Luka Doncic and the Curse of Greatness The Wonder Boy: Luka Doncic and the Curse of Greatness
  22. Game day, boys. Taking the 6-year-old to the pub for the first time to watch. He has his CP jersey ready to go.
