I am not confident the Mavericks will get the players they
need in Free Agency. First I do not see the type of player they need available
so that makes it more difficult. And historically they just blow it. Also I am
not sold on Porzingis weathering many years of high end NBA play. I agree he is
a player worth having, I just do not feel strong about his health reliability.
We need a few players to be long term contenders. Maybe Patrick Beverly
is one, but a strong double double center for points and rebounds that can play
real defense down low and stretch out a bit is a must. And does Dorian Finney
Smith or Justin Jackson or our Greek little brother Kostas have the potential
in them to become major contributors? We need to explore their development
further, give them a dose of the Dwight Powell work ethic and make it work.
And it is too early to talk about free agency. The Warriors
made the Finals interesting by sheer will. Toronto had done everything right by
staying close then making a run in the fourth quarter. I think the time out at
the three minute mark has been well discussed so will leave it alone, except
to say a better play should have been called then. They needed to run a
misdirection through Leonard at that moment so if they needed to run a play
which they did in the last moments of the game, it would have made the Warriors
think a half second more about double teaming Leonard so he either could split
a double team or have a designed outlet instead of forcing his last pass.
Oh well, I cannot wait for Thursday. And of course my prayers go out to
Durant for a speedy recovery. I hate to see injuries to anyone. Part of the
game, but a part I do not like.
And speaking of botched plays, the Democrats really need to
force Trump’s hand on issues. Hold him accountable to all his promises. And it
is easy, put on the table, new infrastructure plans, new healthcare plans, new
immigration policy, etc...make him commit either by supporting or encouraging
the Senate not to pass anything, but make him come out and tweet his little
heart out on major issues. This puts the onus on Trump or McConnell to respond
and by doing so they publicly commit. As you know I don’t support Republicans,
Democrats or Trump, yet I feel comfortable whatever either side presents it
will not get passed. This is just a way to force the issue on real policy of
some kind that a few people manage to find a compromise and get something done.
O r the electorate sees another example of the failed leadership of the
Republicans, Democrats and Trump. So guess what??? Lol, we need new parties.
And some of you are saying same song different verse, but you know the infamous
saying: say a lie enough times and people will believe it. Well, I am just
trying to say the truth enough times so people will believe it.
Congratulations to the St. Louis Blues.
Cheers all
