As fun as Luka's on-court play can be, I miss watching him goof around with trick shots during the warm-up lines via the arena view on League Pass just as much. *sigh*
Yeah he is an entertaining athlete to follow even beyond his on-court wizardry. A great story and the book got ripped out of our hands not even halfway in. I can still take some pleasure in watching him play, though man did it have to be in purple and yellow?
The actual rooting interest is still in Dallas, at least for now.

I think Luka's fitness last season was a product of his injuries. He would've looked the same reporting to Dallas as he did to L.A., though he had a little extra motivation from Harrison and Dumont privately suggesting he was out of shape to justify the trade.

I told myself I was going to quit the team after Nico destroyed it.
But even if they didn't land Cooper Flagg I probably would have kept following them because the disaster was so interesting.
I have the Amazon streaming package that lets you see the arena instead of commercials and am watching more regular season games than before. I kinda took Luka for granted before the playoffs.

If you've seen the amazing photo of the teen in the Luka Lakers jersey talking to Dumont, the kid went on to tell people Dumont admitted the trade was a mistake. His dad told him he had to apologize for things he said previously to Dumont to be allowed to keep attending games. Doing that put him in a place to break actual news, since Dumont hadn't been saying that.
Wild night. How many pro sports teams have gone through anything like the Luka trade, lottery luck and Nico firing in a year?

We double posted this! I'm listening live to KTCK waiting for the official news.
Did you see the move Cooper did on Giannis late last night? We still don't have Luka but that was epic.

The Mavs are in rough shape but Cooper Flagg looked pretty good in the loss to the Pelicans last night. He was great at creating his own shot, though sadly the one that would've won the game was short.

The form now locks after kickoff again. I'm thinking about adding an Honor System checkbox that lets players pick after the time for the situations where you miss the deadline but haven't seen the score yet. Any objections?

Going for Minnesota to upset Baltimore at home, where J. J. "Angry Emoji" McCarthy plays well. Also picking the Steelers to abscond from SoFi with a victory against the Chargers. The Bucs/Patriots game in Tampa is one I'd like to see in person but I don't have the time for the trek across the state. I am going with the Pats in the upset.
I spent the first half Sunday ripping Trevor Lawrence and then he led the team to scores on their last five possessions for the win. He is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

It should be working now. Had to take a drive out of my newly dead HP Omen to get my site files and fix the bug.

Patriots by 17 (lock)
Dolphins by 3
Falcons by 3
Bills by 7 (lock)
Texans by 10 (lock)
Bears by

Steelers by 3
Jaguars by 3

49ers by 7 (lock)
Ravens by 14 (lock)
Chiefs by 3
Lions by 3
Cowboys by 7 (lock)
The Bears should be favored in Minnesota, so I'm picking them. Detroit's game with the Eagles is 49%/51% in their favor among Yahoo Pro Football Pickem players.
