The Mavericks are 30-33 and playing well. They've got 19 games left. I think it will be difficult but doable to go 11-8 and end the season at .500. In some years, that'll get you in the playoffs. But, realistically, this year, they probably need to get to 45 wins which means 15-4 down the stretch, which I can't see happening. Sucks. I'm an NBA nut, so I'm enthralled either way. Cutting DJ was an interesting move. In the summer league last year, he was definitely the focus. I think he was a problem behind the scenes, and you can't be that if you're not a star on the court.
Free agency began in the NFL today. I've got plenty of thoughts, but will be most interested to see where Welker ends up. Maybe, as I start to look at the draft I'll do some sort of post about free agency.
I have thoughts like that all the time - maybe I'll do suchandsuch post. It happened constantly at the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference in Boston March 1 and 2. It was my second Sloan. It's a meeting of sports dorks, mostly kids going for MBAs and people already in the industry. It's not really for fanboys like me, but I enjoy it.
I got to play live poker Saturday and yesterday, which is a rarity. I won the home game I play monthly on Saturday, which was nice. I played well, ran better, and won. It felt really good. I went up to Winstar and played yesterday. I made 165 playing 1/2 waiting for the tourney. As expected, the tourney did not have a good structure, but at 100+15, it's still good value. The same guy beat me three times (KJ > AK aipf, 77 limps my A5 bb gets in on an AT9 flop hits a 7, then KJ > A9 to knock me out) to send me out in 8th when 6 of the 59 runners got paid. Frustrating, but it was nice to play some.
Tiger won this weekend. Masters is coming in April. Also, the draft is in April. NBA playoffs. French Open at the end of the month. March Madness starts next week. Lots on the sports calendar.
More coming soon.
