Dirk is the best player on the Mavericks. I have been watching this team for a decade, and with or without a dominant point guard, he plays a mean game of basketball. The Mavericks are old. This is what happened to them. If I had things my way, I would blow it up in the off-season. I would for certain keep Nowitzki and Brandon Bass. On the bubble I would have J.J. Barea (he had garbage minutes tonight and should have had a shot at Paul earlier in the series...oh and the main reason being that Dirk needs a buddy on the team), Josh Howard (as he does have trade value at this moment, but may be able to turn it around after losing his best friend this season in Devin Harris, and losing his then best friend Marquis Daniels a couple of years ago), and Jerry Stackhouse (when he is healthy, he is great to have around for the possibility of lighting up the scoreboard and his gigantic testicles). The Mavs would most likely have to eat the contract of Kidd, who just doesn't have it anymore. After watching his flagrant foul tonight, he deserves a suspension. Let him play it out next season in what would be a transition year for the ballclub. They need to do away with Devean George, Malik Allen, Eddie Jones, Jason Terry, and of course, Erick Dampier. The trade value with Howard is important. They could possibly package him with big Stone Hands from the above sentence. I cannot stand the sight of George. I hate his jumpshot, too. The main thing for the Mavericks in the offseason is to go shopping for a good number two and get a reliable if unspectacular center. Dirk is turning thirty in June. With the condition he keeps himself in, I could see his prime lasting deep into his middle thirties. They need to get younger and faster now.

I cannot wait to throw this thing in tomorrow night. That video review was amazing.

I'm going to a launch thingy at my local gamestop. The good news is that I get to look pathetic with my good friend, who plans on playing into the wee hours of the morning with me.

My team won 58-0. I had five pancakes...as a second stringer.

In my new franchise with the Rangers, A-Rod had 202 RBI in 2008. It's possible with him and that lineup, but that is still pretty obscene.

Honestly, I enjoyed Lil' Buck. I forget if there is still a shortage of big guys in the fed.

"ASS TO ASS!!!!"

Hogwash! My team just traded my O-Lineman to the Jersey Wildcats of the Zeta Conference in Eastern Europe A.

A nice little bump for the thread. I for one am really looking forward to the episode tomorrow.

I've been reading your posts, and I'm quite interested in where this could lead. However, there is one thing that makes me doubt this angle can be given it's slow burn. Batista is terribly injury-prone. I don't know if his body can stand up to a blood feud that lasts up to six months.

Pretty clutch home run tonight by Josh Hamilton for the Rangers. Top of the 9th, and he hits a laser of a home run off of Putz.

These offers I'm getting are ridiculous.

I noticed on the team page that the LT spot is CPU controlled....yeah..

Offensive Tackle Max Marquette is a rookie free agent.

Ok. What positions do the team need? My running back doesn't matter anymore.

Is this game even worth a rental? I'm still happy throwing in Here Comes the Pain when I need a quick fix.

Oh wait. You guys already have a running back.

This sounds like fun. I have a newly created power half-back in Archibald Griffon who is looking for a team.

The best thing about Youngblood is Keanu's role and terrible French-Canadian accent. I've always adored Necessary Roughness It was also filmed at my college. I have walked where Scott Bakula has walked.

I couldn't take him too seriously. All I thought about was the color pink.

Heavy Metal parody? Awesome.

I'm sorry, but swiping someone's sandwich after punching them is hilarious. I loved the way he came back to steal the delicious sandwich.

Well.... I remember meeting Cliff Livingston at a PACE/Sam's Club grand opening somewhere around the 91-92 season. He signed a plaque with a picture of him boxing out Kevin McHale. Stacey King is in the background. The plaque is actually on the wall beside me. Former White Sox great Billy Pierce did business with my mother after his playing days. Ran into him a few times. Darryl Strawberry walked by my brother and I at a Bed Bath & Beyond located inside of Sawgrass Mills a couple of years back. Everyone I tell this to tells me that I should've asked if he had any coke. Al Bernstein became a cousin for a little while when his own cousin, my former cousin Mike, married my cousin Linda. Scottie Pippen walked passed me on the way to the field for the first pitch at Wrigley last season. My mother's friend from work wound up marrying Mark Cuban. I wish that this could have turned into something more regarding meeting and then knowing Mark Cuban, who is actually on the A-List when it comes to sports. I still look at my Cliff Levingston moment as being the best, though. I mean, I'm looking at the signed plaque of a NBA bench player.

Why do people stay at level one until they have a +35 over me, while the level one master only has 14 or so, and I may have a shot at him in the next day or so? I'd rather level up.
