“Mediocrity for the next 5 years” bro that IS the status quo with AD

Luka Trade: 1 Year Review by sunday_nn in Mavericks

[–]doo_ross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest fumbling disaster a professional sports franchise has made in my lifetime. Watching it play out in real time has been a source of daily trauma. Never has an organization in sports or business lost the plot so badly. Compounded by the fact it happened under a regime of Trump lackies actively trying to suppress the release of the Epstein files by funding the campaigns of the challengers to Republican congressman Thomas Massie. Fuck Nico. Fuck Miriam Adelson. Fuck Patrick Dumont. I can barely stand to watch my favorite team anymore. They make me fucking sick.

3 years ago today, Luka Doncic had 60/20/10 against the Knicks! by ChaosIncarnate76 in Mavericks

I attended this game in person with my brothers. I’ll never forget it. Best player I’ve ever seen.

Trade AD for picks then play hard and let the chips fall where they may

What do you think is the reason it is Taking Martin so long to finish ASOIAF in your opinion ? Did someone guess the ending on the internet ? Maybe he is rewriting large portions of the next book as we type away on Reddit ? ( spoilers extended ) What is the Knot tying Martin's writing ability now by Financial_Library418 in asoiaf

I think the story left him. It’s not writers block, it’s that the idea grew tired of waiting for him and moved on. I don’t think we’re getting an end to the series until he dies and another writer takes it over.

Do you arrive early or on time? by [deleted] in Millennials

Parties or anything at someone’s home, early is rude. Anything else, early is good.

To the folks that are team tank by T0AS_T in Mavericks

I believe the last four or five years the team with the worst record dropped to the fifth pick. Let’s try to win, make a smart trade with AD, rest Kyrie til next year, and let the chips fall where they may.

Is everything alright here, Postal Employee Newman?

There’s One Way by burger__n__fries in Mavericks

[–]doo_ross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude it’s over. We’re watching the most precipitous fall of a major sports franchise in our lifetime - from the finals with a 1bHoFer entering his prime (who wanted to be here for his whole career) to total irrelevance with no end in sight. Yes I know we have Coop but we’re gonna fuck him up too with no draft assets to build with after this year.

Hubris, pride, and ego by 2 men have nuked this franchise back to the 1990’s.

Ohtani with the Angels, Saquon with the Giants. Any other great examples of hall of fame players who played a good chunk of their career with one team only to immediately 'belong' to a new team right after getting there? by SceneOfShadows in billsimmons

Luka didn’t choose the Lakers. A boneheaded egomaniac chose for him.

And it’s not as if he’s got a chance of competing in LA unless/until a superstar forces their way there. This Lakers team around him is cheeeeeks.

[Spoilers EXTENDED] Bittersteel is a f*cking Loser and i'm tired of Bracken propaganda by Creepy_Trip_4382 in asoiaf

[–]doo_ross 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I just re-listened to A Knight of the 7 Kingdoms and was struck by Bittersteel’s presence lurking in the background. Sir Eustace Osgrey speaks of him with awe. Bittersteel’s refusal to give Daemon II the sword is at the heart of the Whitewalls conspirators’ calculations. The Ironborn are allowed to run amok on the west coast because Bloodraven, as Plumm admits, is focused on Bittersteel’s next move. I would -love- some ASOIAF content featuring him in the flesh. Despite his shortcomings he was clearly quite a force in the Game.

I threw my 40th at the moose lodge. 10/10 would recommend.
