The 2013-14 NBA season

wait so having a PhD writing about race and sports does not qualify me for this?
It is funny though looking back at our MT posts and generally here we often agree, except on LeBron.

that's about as fraudulent as it gets. where did you hear that?

i heard heat fans, still wearing their team's gear, were cheering for the mavs at whatever bar they were at the other night.

miami blows.

You are right on that one...I've been following this since forever, and am thinking about writing about it for a journal article. However, I think that I may be a bit clouded by my allegiance to LeBron. Funny thing is my academic "big brother" is a huge D-Rose fan, so he's been giving me shit while slightly agreeing with me.

i'd put it at a solid 9.8

Juggler you are basically right - I am this boards Al Sharpton. It's my job to see things through the lenses of race/class/gender/sexuality/ability/age etc. Actually to be honest my job is to people watch and make some sense of it. The fact that I get to use sports to do so is amazing.

in fairness to one, they clip says he played for the mavs for several years....

but i still wouldn't want to party with my buds post losing out on a championship. go congradulate them in the locker room, but that's where it ends...

playing for them in past does not make it right...especially since he now plays on the team that just got beat.

After winning a ring, I'd probably party hard enough to not know where I was either.

Carlisle is really a great coach. Very classy guy for defending Spo.

If they are talking about Eric Dampier he doesn't belong in the same room as the Mavericks. That waste of space and money was completely useless.

Irving cops want to make a name for themselves. They should have called him a cab and sent him home.

Baseball writer here in Dallas said now that this is over those "long time" Heat fans can go back to being Yankee fans.

They did the same thing to a buddy at the Byron Nelson, the Irving cops were just pointing at people stepping off the shuttle and arresting them for PI's with no sobriety test given. I haven't seen this guy drink in 2 years so I know he wasn't. Oh well....I bet Stevenson parties like a champ though.

That was Dan's reaction to hearing the audio clip of Dirk singing We are the Champions. To put it mildly, he's not winning any karaoke contests anytime soon.
