The Ivan Drago is strong with him.

If he dies... he dies.

2 pounds lean muscles per month is a general rule if you work out the right way and eat the right way.

I'll add a little wiggle room to that considering he's a professional athlete with the best of everything at his disposal...

I'm pumped for the coming season. But the media day will be a tiny
bit sad as we won't be able to see Dirk's goofiness and joking around with
the squad.

Roughly 34 days left until we start getting news. 42 days until we play a game

Extra long this year, because they delayed the start of the season by one week.

DevinHarriswillstart · 08-27-2019, 03:38 PM

The opposite is where they talk non-stop about the NFL to the point where I don't even care anymore. Seriously, every week I'm wondering when the season starts, nope, not yet, but we'll talk you to death about the same things over and over and over again. Granted, I'm a casual NFL fan at best, but it's still really annoying.

But hey, Cousins threatened to shoot the mother of his son, so that's something I guess.

This is exactly how I feel about the Mavs offseason. Glad Tjarks wrote this article because I was starting to feel crazy with all the negativity around here.

“NBA teams are moving away from the Big Three model.”

Players chose their destinations. Teams had nothing to do with it. Lakers tried for a big 3. GS wanted to keep Durant.

Jackson post all-star break was shooting 37.5%. That's more than enough to be 3-D. He also worked on threes all summer so he should be fine.

DFS was a strong defensive player, but post all-star he only shot 23.7%. That isn't going to cut it.

Yea, but I'm hoping JJ brings more than just 3-D. He has way more potential.

I dislike the 3-D term almost as much as "Load Management".

Well we will find out soon enough. Training camp starts in a month. I've just been sitting around polishing my nfl fantasy back to back trophy while I wait for the NBA to start(shameless I know). I will say that the article is great with the exception that he starts off saying the Mavs might have done it right, by striking out again, that the NBA is going away from big 3's as it's too difficult to keep 3 super star players happy at once financial and usage wise. Yet he closes the article with the lure of maybe Giannis joining the Mavs in a few years to make a big 3. So I liked the middle of the article but the beginning and the end make it look more like the Mavs might have stumbled their way to a better team, not really by plan, but then if Giannis joins forget all the substance of the rest of the article about usage and roles and the nba going away from a big 3...

Together those two are 3-D (Jackson-3, DFS-D) and neither are all that great imo. I'm not as high on those two as some people but I hope I'm wrong.

Jackson just doesn't seem to have the lateral quickness and it seems he plays a bit of straight-legged defense. He is pretty scrappy though so maybe that will get keep him on the floor. I still see some Matt Barnes in him.

I don't see DFS ever becoming a good enough shooter in our system to stay on the floor. Offense will always trump defense so Jackson will probably get more minutes.

IDK...just how I see it.

Jackson is never going to be a great player, but he is the perfect jack of all trades player that you need with Luka and Porz. Just has to focus on doing all of the little things that fill in team needs and be a good all around player.

DFS, on the other hand, is only good at one or two things. He is a very good defender and can sometimes hit a three.

Still, there is plenty of depth at the 3 position with Jackson, DFS, and THJ. Add in Broek, and you're fine. Nothing great here, but I'm not really sure it needs to be. Woulda been nice to get Green, but I really don't think he moves the needle much either.

Yeah I definitely think Jackson has a place in the league and will find a niche on this team maybe similar to Najara.

So far we know that Doncic and Porzingis have made a transformation. Have any other players on our team done the same? If so, dayum!

Salah Merji, who has not been signed by an NBA team yet, just put up 22 points, 15 rebounds, five blocks & five 3-pointers in a win for Tunisia.

Still do not understand why we didn't bring him back considering we are fairly thin in the frontcourt....especially considering KP's injury history and Boban's limitations.

They either think he reached his ceiling or they dont care for his constant complaints of calls technicals to production rate.

Because his limitations arent much difference from Bobans.

96 frontcourt minutes. I guess that KP/Powell/Kleber are going to eat almost 90 of them anyway. And then you got the rest for some Boban, DFS at the 4 etc

Sorry if this interview with Doncic has already been posted. I've seen parts of the interview elsewhere, but I never read it in its entirety. I think it's particularly interesting that Doncic said that Dirk is going to be around to help out when talking about playing with KP in the coming season. I'm happy to hear about that. Among many other things, I hope Dirk can pass on some of his habits that helped him to have such a extraordinarily healthy career.

I cannot believe he asked him about the f'in chicken sandwiches. Actually, I can...Dwain Price.

sefant77 · 09-03-2019, 05:31 PM

Yeah...few days ago he retweetet some super annoying god/church crap and i unfollowed him.

FreshJive · 09-03-2019, 06:29 PM

Price works for the Mavs now? There was a postgame interview last season where Price asked Carlisle a question about a situation that happened in the previous game rather than that night’s game. He was asking it like it happened in that night’s game, like maybe he accidentally looked at his previous game’s notes before asking the question. Carlisle looked confused af, and had Price repeat the question. Carlisle eventually just said some generic stuff that didn’t really address the question.
