Also, this is random, but if you’ve followed me recently and I haven’t followed you back, here’s my policy:

If you meaningfully engage (thoughtful replies, etc), I will almost always follow back.

I love interacting with people on here! Likes are cool, but actually talking to people is more fun!

Counter: how about anyone else?

Seriously though, why is no one trying a hook shot? They work!

Basketball analysts and podcasters: please stop frantically asking "HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO SCORE ON WEMBANYAMA IN THE PAINT???"

You should already know the answer—and it's not exactly cutting edge.

I don't have the words to explain how important the Sesame Street Tiny Desk Concert is to toddlers and parents

Something the next owner of the Dallas Mavericks should do:

Any time the team plays on February 1st or 2nd, the team should wear the awful silver uniforms as a reminder of when the previous owner and GM tried to destroy the franchise.

Most of the credit goes to Milwaukee, but the Knicks are also kind of collapsing right now

Yes (but that's a good thing)

Mark @mmcd.bsky.social · 4d

This remains the correct take.

I do not feel bad for the Mavs organization AT ALL, but I do feel bad for Cooper Flagg. This whole situation is unfair to him.

Mark @mmcd.bsky.social · Jun 26

As expected, Cooper Flagg is selected by Dallas with the first pick

My stance hasn’t changed: if I was his agent (or any other first-round pick’s agent), I would tell the Mavericks that my client would not be signing with them.

They cost their last franchise player $100 million.

Win or lose, OKC's performance against this Mavs team is concerning

Mark @mmcd.bsky.social · 4d

$65?

Yeah, time to buy

Mark @mmcd.bsky.social · 4d

Idk, I like OKC--they built their team brick by brick and deserve to enjoy it. I'd feel differently if it was all free agents and recruiting.

And the fact that they get to beat the Mavs is a nice bonus 😂

Why the hate?

Mark @mmcd.bsky.social · 4d

If you think I'm being overly dramatic, just remember: at one point people were calling PJ Washington THOR!!!

Mark @mmcd.bsky.social · 4d

One year ago, the Dallas Mavericks were *THE* obstacle potentially blocking the Oklahoma City Thunder's road to the NBA Finals.

One year later (and minus one Luka Doncic), they aren't even a pothole on the Thunder's path.

Also, if anyone has any ridiculous phone accessories to recommend, I'm listening.

Preferably at least *somewhat* useful, but portability isn't really a factor

Mark @mmcd.bsky.social · 5d

The Distract-O-Phone is working well so far. Time to see how this setup does during the work week.

Mark @mmcd.bsky.social · 7d

Ok I’m putting my social media apps on a separate device, but I need help naming it. Is it:

Distract-O-Phone

Or

Distractamaphone

Unihertz Titan 2 with mostly distracting apps installed

Tonight either turned Austin Reaves into a prized trade candidate or completely untouchable and I'm really curious which way the Lakers are viewing the situation
