Kyrie Irving Suffers Torn ACL in Knee: If you were curious how Mavericks GM Nico Harrison's "win-now window" for an NBA championship is going since the trade of Luka Doncic, Anthony Davis has played less than one full game before being injured and Kyrie Irving just suffered a torn ACL in his knee, which likely means being gone for a year. The video of Irving shooting two free throws after the injury is epic.

If all goes according to plan I'll be in the stands at the Thunder vs. Nuggets game on Sunday.
Didn't expect a blowout in that one.

I was at that game in 1999. It was the first Jags game I'd ever attended. Half the crowd was Dolphins fans, even among the locals because many had followed them for decades. At the tailgate we booed bus after bus of their fans driving past.
I haven't seen a pro team come up bigger in a big game in person. The rout sent both Johnson and Marino into retirement.
Johnson was alright as a TV guy but I would've liked to see him give coaching some more time. The Dolphins made the playoffs in his final three years and went 11-5 the first two years after he left.

Before wishing for that I need to know if there's another rickety pal of Nico's in his thirties on the trading block in the offseason.

Nico's going to get fired someday, and it might be within his "win-now window."
The problem driving me away is the Adelsons. Can't see much hope in the future with them in charge.

I'm trying on the Indiana Pacers as my new team. As I watched them play Toronto, I tried to think of every former Pacer I could.
It didn't go well. I only got as far as Reggie Miller, Rik Smits and maybe Rick Carlisle.

Maybe Nico Harrison wanted Anthony Davis for his fierce fashion sense, not his basketball skills. Luka cuts his own hair with clippers while being driven to games on bumpy roads.

Why aren't my favorite team the Indiana Pacers getting any games?

If you listen to too much SiriusXM Fantasy Sports you start joining best ball drafts for the next NFL season in February.
Can't decide between Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews in the eighth round.

The Mavericks got Dirk Nowitzki and Luka Doncic because they believed in European players when a lot of team execs were holding on to lazy old prejudices.
The Mavericks traded Luka because they hired a GM who still has those prejudices.
Nico Harrison's next job is going to be at Famous Footwear. If he approaches you ask for another salesperson to assist you.
