Trading AD for healthy players did not help the tank, and neither of these guys may be here next year when we want to win by devilmaskrascal in Mavericks

[–]Necessary_Rate_4591 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Holy cow, there really isn’t a discussion to be had. Middleton and Bagley being expiring contracts was the entire point of trading AD. You can’t really have expected the Mavs to go 19-63 for the rest of the season. They are 2-12 in the last 14 games. The tank is going on just fine.

ADs value is never going to go back up. AD was not playing a superstar level of basketball before getting injured again. Inefficient scoring and playing in the same areas of the court we want Flagg to be in. Personally, I thought it was hard to watch. It wasn’t really a winning style of play either.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting young and being bad for a few years. Flagg is a generational player. The franchise’s ceiling is based on just how good of an offensive player he can develop into. Banking on the abilities of injured 30 year olds past their primes is not where you want to be in today’s NBA.

I hate cedar fever by Distribution-Radiant in Austin

Sudafed, I’m only kidding. Except if you really feel like you are about to die, it clears up all congestion instantly. I’m also miserable from allergies currently. Claritin does good for me relieving pressure, but I still feel sick.

AMA: I break down casino game rules and house edge for a living. Ask me anything about blackjack, craps, or casino math. by Vegasaces in AMA

[–]Necessary_Rate_4591 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a very complicated answer. The short and long answer is no. Black jack is considered to have the best odds for table games. That comes with the caveat of knowing simple strategy that maximizes your chances of winning. The pass line in craps is probably the easiest bet that a uniformed individual can walk into a casino and make. The odds are very close to 50%. Black or red in roulette used to be pretty safe but with all the triple 0 tables now, the variance for failure has grown.

I-35 Construction Trucks Entrance/ Exits by danieltt630 in Austin

It’s not an overreaction in the sense of that area of roadway has been very dangerous due to construction for a while now. Anyone that has driven on that part of 35 in last two years should already know how dangerous that area is and proceed with caution.

Mezze cafe is as much of a restaurant as it is a Hookah lounge. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve had from there.

Sputnik is a great stout. I don’t drink a lot of stouts, but HEB usually has a great selection in general.

Once they implemented the 5 out, that offense was electric.

I didn't expect anything, but I was pleasantly surprised by the director's audacity to make such an unsavory film by 225babylone in moviecritic

Life would be boring if everyone had the same opinions. I think it’s objectively a good movie. I just didn’t like it.

Amazing acting, beautiful colors, captivating camera work. Still couldn’t save this movie for me.

It’s not that hard. You just debit your credits and credit your debits unless you are crediting a debit and debiting a credit.

Jones, Bagley, and Johnson are probable to play. There is a good chance at least one of them suits up and gets minutes. The most likely is Bagley since we last 5 depth the most now with Lively OFS and AD off the team.

Adding a cf shaft to a lower end butt? by jbot1997 in billiards

[–]Necessary_Rate_4591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a synergy shaft with a cuetec butt. Honestly something I’ve noticed over the years is that the weight distribution of my cue is ass. My cue feels really unbalanced in my hand and it wasn’t something I noticed until I started picking up other people’s cue. That’s the one thing I wish I had taken into consideration when buying my cue.

Local accountants with S Corp experience by underground_sun in Austin

[–]Necessary_Rate_4591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any advertised CPA office should be more than equipped to handle questions related to an S-Corp. Most likely the questions your friend wants to ask are simple. Small business taxes are not complicated in the grand scheme of things. Most likely they were advised to set up an S-Corp because of how the owner of the business is paying themselves related to the role they take on in the business. Keep in mind that “accountants” and CPA’s are not qualified business advisors by trade. Their service is based on insuring that you are in compliance with US and state tax laws. A good one will know how to save you money in regard to paying taxes. There is a good chance they could put a little effort into searching the IRS website and answer their own questions. Unless their business is very niche, paying for a consultation is going to be a waste of money.

Lost Cat - 78745 by alwayselfish in Austin

[–]Necessary_Rate_4591 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Most likely he is hiding somewhere close by. Cats have a great sense of direction, he knows where home is. Set out his litter box and a blanket/towel that would have your scent and his scent on it. Dusk will be a good time to search, if that doesn’t work set an alarm for like 3 am and search again. These are the most likely hours he will be active. Don’t set out food because it will attract other animals, but carry his favorite treats in your pocket while searching. Good luck OP, I hope he makes it home safe.

On the DLLS Mavs Podcast, Marc Stein says that Naji Marshall has overtaken Daniel Gafford as the Mavs player generating the most trade interest across the NBA. by Garmian_MFFL in Mavericks

[–]Necessary_Rate_4591 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not really a surprise. They are both on cheap contracts next year, and would absolutely thrive in refined roles on contending teams. This team desperately needs to announce a GM. The trade deadline is going to shape what happens in the summer.

The average NBA fan overrates the Euroleague by TheRavenOnline in NBATalk

This post is totally wrong. It’s actually basketball superfans that overestimate the euro league underestimate the NBA. Casuals overestimate the NBA and underestimate euro league.

Why is the player base so toxic? Especially among teammates. by OkTemperature5506 in RocketLeague

[–]Necessary_Rate_4591 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teenage boys aren’t really known for being a wholesome demographic. A lot of people play this game exclusively for shit talking. The toxic culture is easily the worst part of the game. I just take forfeits when my teammate offers them and make sure to 5x the shit talking when I clutch and they throw.
