ATX_sig Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 No time for Magic tonight on 41.21.1 night. 5 hours in and still cannot Dirk's final home game and ceremony off. Barkley, Pippen, Bird, Kemp and Detlef were the idols he discussed in his post game ceremony. Cuban brought all Dirk's idols in and Dirk had no idea they would be there. Best retirement ceremony ever. Dirk's good buddy Brian Cardinal was there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FW_Hoosier Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Seriously impressive, I always thought Bryant had a future in the league. As a side note, I had no idea that Vic shot 60% from the field his junior year. That is insane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA will always be Magic and not even LeBron can touch him there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy to think the Lakers haven’t been in the playoffs since 2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW_Hoosier Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 The Lakers organization is an absolute embarrassment. Buss/Magic/Pelinka ran that team into the ground, and then Lebron just blew everything up. I can’t believe how big of a mistake he made going to LA... Honestly might ruin his legacy to a certain extent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Pacers beat Atlanta in the final game to go 48-34 which is the exact record from last year. The Pacers did not play 5 of their top players and still beat Atlanta who played all of their starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's literally impossible to have the Lakers be this bad for so long. Almost like the Knicks. Lebron is about to find out how much love Laker fans have for Magic. Lebron is starting to look foolish until he starts delivering players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATX_sig Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Thanks Dirk. Made the trek to San antonio fighting the Austin rush hour traffic to get there to see his final game. He just never disappoints. He put up a double double in his last game. One Third of the crowd were Mavs fans wearing a dirk jerseys and we all went crazy everytime he touched the ball and cheered louder when scored. Spurs fans cheered him. As a guy who grew up in E-ville in the 70's, the Reds, IU basketball, Bird, the Griese led Dolphins, and Donnie baseball are tops in my sports world fandom. I jumped on the Mavs bandwagon in their first year of existence which coincided with my relocation to Texas. Troy and Pudge probably belong also but Dirk has firmly carved his spot on that list and easily passed them. He is the Mavs. Hopefully, Luka will be join him. So glad Luka and even KP who didn't get to play with him got to be around Dirk in his final season and get to see what it is like to be loyal to one team. Rick Carlisle said he is fortunate in an era where players jump from team to team to have 2 players that have played so long for one team. Those 2 being Reggie and dirk. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You right that it hurts their defense but it probably means more minutes for Rozier and Brown. They can replace his defense. I think losing Smart hurts their energy and toughness. He really elevates the players around him to play with the same grit or at least it did last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the P's tough all-around team play making this a series, but taking it to more than 6 seems pretty unlikely. I'll say 4-2.Smart is real loss for the C's, but they have been playing better and would expect guys like Kyrie to step it up in the playoffs, with the experience.
