The "gather" step that is really a travel that is now legal has made basketball unwatchable.

Watching the Suns/Spurs at Cosm tonight.

I had the same experience the one time my doc prescribed Tramadol. Felt totally useless.

Take a gather step, euro step, another one just because it's never called. Kyrie can pick up his dribble at the three point line and still take it in for a layup with all the free steps.

Fuck the Lakers and fuck the Mavs front office...go Luka & go Mavs

Doc Hogaday · Feb 25, 2025, 08:54 PM

Bigger deal when it's in Dallas in April.

Watching Lakers highlights. I hate Lebron but I like Luka. They are fun to watch right now and they are going to be tough to beat with Luka.

Oh, and I know this has been discussed before, but how did we miss on Austin Reaves? Was he just another small town Arkansas kid of the type Mike didn't like to recruit?

YES

Too white?

I mean in defense of Mike Anderson the kid was from tiny town Arkansuk. What are the odds here like 1 in 10 million a kid from a small town like that would make the NBA and actually do something. He was a good college player but far from great...he's really found a niche in the NBA.

The Whyte Boar · Mar 02, 2025, 10:07 AM

Anybody at any level of high school ball in Arkansas in the modern era scored 73 in one game? I mean, "not great" as a college player is sort of debatable. He was first team Big 12 at nearly 19 a game at OU his senior year and he did get drafted by Detroit but decided to take a risk and sign with the Lakers instead.

I mean he wasn't a transformative or especially memorable college player, but had he done the same at Arkansas, he would have been one of our best players over the last ten years or so.

Doc Hogaday · Mar 02, 2025, 11:18 AM

He was badass in high school and also played for the Wings. My brother did one of his shoulder surgeries and Austin straight up told him MA never called him and he was pissed about it.

Doc Hogaday · Mar 03, 2025, 06:38 PM

I see the Mavs announced they are increasing ticket prices. Seems like a Yurachek move in terms of timing and reading the room.

I think they know exactly what they're doing.

Trying to Major League themselves out of Dallas? That's weird.

Does anything else explain the stupidity?

Doc Hogaday · Mar 04, 2025, 09:01 PM

I think the NBA is waiting to award the Vegas expansion franchise to a Lebron-led ownership group.

The Mavs best chance to get what they want and revive themselves lies with the Texas lege from my limited understanding. Some folks on here from Texas can probably expound on that better than I can.

It's just a shitty thing to do to their current players and fans.

Apparently there's a push to move to Irving.
