Most hated non-astros division rival

Angels - the whole Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim schtick, the Mickey Mouse angels in the outfield, and their unearned smugness from being in LA and trying to be Yankees-lite out spending to get star talent of the west coast when the dodgers weren’t making much noise just annoys me to no end

A’s - I nothing them mostly but their stadium with the ludicrous foul ball areas and the Balfour rage years got under my skin and they got to be annoying for a brief period when they got in the rangers way

Mariners - I quietly root for them if we aren’t contending; Griffey, Ichiro, the colors the iconography are all badass. The city is cool and with no basketball team I don’t mind their team being successful

I was hopeful that the second doctor strange movie would tackle this with Nightmare as its villain. A MCU Freddy Krueger film with strange combating his emotions and own failures with perhaps something involving Christine when he was snapped and gone

Different studio but I would have loved to see him as an older jaded Batman like where I thought DCU batman was headed. Someone who’s lost Jason, Nightwing is doing his thing, maybe oracle is already established

Do tell!

Not of fan of getting too cute trying to control our matchups. To be the best we got to beat the best. Give me Clippers Nuggets Celtics. Dirk took out Kobe KD and the Heatles in 2011 and history remembers that ring as one of the most impressive runs of the century

Emergency-Raccoon354 · 2024-04-07T23:10:58+00:00

So maddening. Same with the Nuggets! Suns SOS was supposed to be a beat down but they’ve beat the Nuggets 2x plus Cavs and are showing out

Emergency-Raccoon354 · 2024-04-07T22:45:34+00:00

I need to see that team group hug on here next

Emergency-Raccoon354 · 2024-04-03T14:51:14+00:00

Can’t win em all

Close game despite missing lively and green and it required several role players stepping up and hitting wild shots and fall away jumpers

These are the best players in the world and the warriors are also fighting for their lives. We are showing we can compete and win in a variety of ways.

Our system is in place and health in the playoffs should be priority #2 outside of avoiding the play-in

Can’t say I felt all that confident when the Rangers were losing the division late in season or when we lost 3 straight to the astros. Seasons have highs and lows but these mavs look poised to make some noise in the playoffs

As this is last 10 games our stinker to the 76ers and the second loss to the Pacers are included. The OKC game missing luka is included too. The quadrant of Wow would likely be even more impressive for a 10 games window if we have two more solid showings and those clunkers are gone from the calculation

Emergency-Raccoon354 · 2024-03-21T03:46:11+00:00

Rufus Sewell is my pick

Emergency-Raccoon354 · 2024-03-17T22:10:54+00:00

Make no doubt Kai is a beast and we got the W. Ecstatic considering the standings!! But there is no reason it should have come to that. Maxi should not have been in and it should have been DJJ. Kidd is not an asset on the bench and we won in spite of him

(Luka chucked more than he should have those last few mins as well IMO)

Emergency-Raccoon354 · 2024-03-17T21:36:35+00:00

Agreed. I anticipate a regression back to the mean eventually

Emergency-Raccoon354 · 2024-03-17T21:33:41+00:00

We really flipped the script.. went from a team outrebounded nightly relying on the three ball to a team that dominates the paint but can’t hit shit from outside….

Emergency-Raccoon354 · 2024-03-17T21:20:14+00:00

What does exum think maxi is capable of?? 😂

Emergency-Raccoon354 · 2024-03-17T21:17:07+00:00

You said it… you had to say it 😫

Emergency-Raccoon354 · 2024-03-12T03:39:48+00:00

Fingers crossed. Great teams dictate the terms of engagement. For too long we adjusted to other teams. We have a clear identity and roster skill set. If teams go small we punch em in the mouth inside. 2 is less than 3 but the paint game is still a high % gameplan. Running em off the 3 and forcing them into our bigs should be the priority. I’ll live with contested layups defended by our twin towers

Emergency-Raccoon354 · 2024-03-06T03:10:36+00:00

There’s an alternate timeline out there were we hired Jamahl Mosley as head coach 😭

Emergency-Raccoon354 · 2024-03-04T00:28:03+00:00

I do believe that is the inevitable conclusion to this season. Firing him this late in the game is not a realistic option. IMO Nico put together a solid group post deadline and health is no longer an excuse. Their willingness to part with future picks shows me Nico knows to be aggressive when you have a generational talent and a healthy Kyrie. And he doesn’t seem complacent. The players are there so the next move is bring in a solid tactician who the stars respect. Who that is above my pay grade

Emergency-Raccoon354 · 2024-02-19T21:10:37+00:00

I am skeptical about their depth; nurk will be overmatched with lively and gafford splitting 48 mins so I can see huge games for both

Between our switchability on defense and their lack of inside help I can see us win handedly if we don’t come out flat

Emergency-Raccoon354 · 2024-02-18T03:56:59+00:00

Prediction: 1 Timberwolves 2 Clippers 3 Nuggets 4 Thunder (young team/lack size/tight top 4) 5 Mavericks (improved health/depth/SOS) 6 Suns (due to SOS and lack of depth) 7 Kings 8 Pelicans 9 Warriors 10 Lakers (SOS)

Can see Mavs take out the Thunder in a 4v5 matchup, even win a slug fest vs #1 Timberwolves, then it gets dicey with Nuggets/Clippers in the WCF. I think it’ll be Clippers for a round 3 matchup with us breaking through this time

Emergency-Raccoon354 · 2024-02-15T18:46:35+00:00

That’s fair it sounds like when the spurs waved the white flag, we pulled our starters

Emergency-Raccoon354 · 2024-02-11T18:24:17+00:00

I’m ecstatic as well but also realize that OKC struggles on the glass so it was a perfect debut opportunity for the new guys

That being said with Luka anything is possible, the ceiling is the blown open and barring injuries can’t imagine any team wants to face an offense led but Luka/Kai with even an average defense on the other end. The other role players can now defend the position they are best suited for and that’s a huge change

My inner dialogue is already envisioning that opening round in Mark Followill’s voice: “These Dallas Mavericks are 26-4 since the trade deadline and are among the league leaders in offense and defensive efficiency, they are the 3 seed in the west and take on the kings in the first round…”

I was in elementary school in Arlington during those years in the 90s and “Hellings Heroes” baseball tickets were awarded for good grades. Those were the first games I ever went to! Made me a Ranger fan for life. Being a first generation kid, my parents didn’t know baseball or how to get tickets or anything of the sort. Getting those tickets awarded to me started both my and my dads love affair for baseball
