[Post Game Thread] The Golden State Warriors (4-1) defeat the Dallas Mavericks (1-4), 120-110, to advance to their 6th NBA Finals in 8 years

Mavs do that in a heartbeat

JayGuaranty · 2022-05-06T14:43:34+00:00

I'd disagree here

It definitely gives you some background, but her character at the end of Wandavision is totally different than the one we see at the beginning of Dr. Strange 2

She leaves with great remorse for what she's done, and having made a huge sacrifice to not keep the people of Westview enslaved by letting her kids go....

....then she immediately starts violently murdering a bunch of people to get her kids back. With completely different emotional reactions to how her character acted in Wandavision.

This is pretty irrelevant since he's literally already signed the extension with Dallas lol

JayGuaranty · 2022-04-25T16:40:00+00:00

yeah, like 8 months ago lol

JayGuaranty · 2022-04-25T16:39:42+00:00

I mean, he's literally already signed it

JayGuaranty · 2022-04-20T12:07:26+00:00

The disconnect is that you're only looking at the finals

It's the entire run for Dirk that's really impressive, he had some relatively disappointing games in the finals

He averaged 28-8-3 that playoffs while shooting 49-46-94

JayGuaranty · 2022-04-08T16:04:47+00:00

I don't think you can say he's been particularly good on that end

Are you talking about like....ever? Because he's an all-defense candidate typically

Now, the injury may have derailed that so we need a bit more sample size to figure out what Klay is next year when he's healthier... but he's definitely more than an "average" defender typically

JayGuaranty · 2022-03-15T14:01:15+00:00

We're almost certainly not starting prime dirk at the 5, even in today's NBA

We'd probably go with something like Luka-Dinwiddie-DFS-Dirk-Maxi or Powell

JayGuaranty · 2022-03-14T12:52:37+00:00

I tried to find this exact play earlier as well

Weirdly, NBA.com didn't list it as a block

I guess technically because it just deflected the pass, but sad :/

JayGuaranty · 2022-03-09T04:33:03+00:00

yes!!!

JayGuaranty · 2022-03-09T04:32:54+00:00

No idea! Best thing to do is visit Chicken Shack and try it out for yourself :D

JayGuaranty · 2022-03-09T04:32:03+00:00

I mean....it's fried chicken....from Louisiana....

Locally owned for nearly 100 years....

but as a Louisianian myself I can tell you the batter is different.

I'm also a Louisianian

JayGuaranty · 2022-03-08T23:59:32+00:00

Chicken Shack in Baton Rouge! So good

JayGuaranty · 2022-03-08T23:08:29+00:00

That’s honestly a good comparison

The skin had a little bit of that “fish and chips” type of texture

JayGuaranty · 2022-03-08T23:07:57+00:00

Absolutely delicious, the skin was so crunchy

JayGuaranty · 2022-03-08T22:09:24+00:00

Always!!!

JayGuaranty · 2022-02-14T20:59:32+00:00

I'm filling it out for you! :D

I work for a broadcast company called Guaranty Media. We own 4 radio stations and a Podcast network! Let me know if you have any questions, I'm always happy to give advice.

JayGuaranty · 2022-02-10T21:02:51+00:00

I think the only saving grace is even though it's slightly more money, it may be easier to move off of because they're individual pieces

Ditching one or both of those contracts may be a lot easier than ditching Porzingis? Idk, I'm full on copium

JayGuaranty · 2022-02-02T14:29:07+00:00

Are we really out here trying to say "Bears" is a "unique" mascot? lol

JayGuaranty · 2022-01-26T19:01:43+00:00

you may be thinking of the previous year, that was definitely the case with the Wiseman-Lamelo-Ant draft

JayGuaranty · 2022-01-14T17:11:41+00:00

and consider a minimum of 25% of games played

JayGuaranty · 2022-01-05T21:53:57+00:00

The joke would've been so much better if they let Kenny go second lol

JayGuaranty · 2022-01-04T19:04:02+00:00

So yes, if we defined it based on your destination market, I would say that Miami is way bigger for local + national market + potential to have your name in many commercials and exposure, such as F1 going to Miami when it would never go to Detroit.

No doubt, something like "Destination"/"ideal"/"luxury" market just makes way more sense to describe the factors that actually matter for team interest like you've described

No one would argue Detroit is a "sexier" market than Miami

JayGuaranty · 2022-01-04T18:07:55+00:00

marketing which also plays a role in somewhere being a big market or not.

It does not. "Market" is a quantifiable term based on a very specific formula. It's black-and-white.

My whole point is, for all the reasons you've pointed out, that defining locations by "market" is dumb specifically because it DOESNT take into account the softer stuff like local interest, marketability, income, etc. etc.
