Dallas Mavericks: Generations
Romo tried to check himself in near the end of the game and Cuban dragged him back to his seat. That was an awesome game to go to for a game that meant nothing.

Adam Silver is the fun police.

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/19137970/mark-cuban-approached-adam-silver-tony-romo-playing-dallas-mavericks
"When he approached NBA commissioner Adam Silver with the idea, Cuban said, "I told him what I was going to do and said, 'Fine me if you don't like it.'"

Silver told Cuban the contract would not be honored, which killed the idea but did not stop the Mavericks from honoring the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback."

THUNDERDOME LOSER 2022




OK that match was pretty cool except the Wolves couldn't buy a basket in the first quarter and the Thunder couldn't miss from three and Rubio kept throwing the ball away but the comeback was really cool except for the bit where they lost in the end. When Dieng hit that 3 (which apparently ended up being a 2) at the end that was pretty exciting.

Everyone had Towns jerseys except there were a few Rubios, a few Wigginses and one lady in a Dieng top.

i think it's kind of silly and ridiculous that a famous dude wants to go play basketball dress-up (the only other person i can think of who would leap to do this is like, michael rapoport), but i don't understand why anyone would get angry or upset by it, clearly people in dallas are enjoying it, romo's loving it, the other mavs think it's cool, and i'm upset only that i never got to see carlos zambrano suit up for the bulls and mean mug people whenever nocioni or pj brown elbowed someone.

I like the idea but I think it'd be more entertaining if they stuck guys on rival teams. Put Tom Brady on whatever NBA teams fans would hate him the most etc. Put Joakim Noah onto the Cleveland Indians roster.

Imagine a Cubs vs. White Sox game with Hulk Hogan pitching to O.J. Simpson with Michael Vick as the catcher and Shaq as the umpire. Tons of possibilities here. :lsd:

This is the best news.

Brett Brown, when talking about lineups for next year, mentioned Simmons/Bayless/Covington/Saric/Embiid which seems crazy to me.

I think Dario is much better suited to be a 6th man and being a primary/secondary ball handler on a second unit. Assuming, in this situation, that Bayless and Covington would be your backcourt on defense, Brett thinks Simmons can guard 3s, which I'm not convinced of. I would rather get 2 guards in the draft and FA and then have Covington at the 3 and Simmons at the 4

The luxury is that if Banjo Simmons isn't a total bust, they'll be able to play the same way with and without him on the court, because Dario replicates his playmaking in ball handling

They really need guards and a new training staff

What an odd yet belligerent opening position on a negotiation. What a strange dude. Everything he does reminds me of how funny the Russ Hanneman character is. Is Silicon Valley back on the air soon?


Well, I suppose he is a pro athlete who's world-class at tossing a ball.
