No more than the trenches are relic in football.

Kobe better than Bird. I don't know what this means. We talking 5 to 3. My point is that Miller told Gerry you can win with a "combo" point guard. You can't unless you have the best frontcourt. Even that won't matter if the other team has great backcourt players. My example is the mid 80s Celtics had the best frontcourt ever, but they couldn't beat the best point guard ever in Magic. Not to mention that Kobe as a shooting guard was more important than the most athletically gifted player ever as Shaq. Jerry West told Shaq that Kobe was already better than him when Kobe was 17 in July 1996.

Yes, I am. Miller told Gerry you don't need a good point guard to win. He referenced Florida last year. Clayton was a good point guard. He had the best front court as well. I don't understand what he's talking about.

It's really crazy that Miller said that crap. If you have Parrish, McHale and Bird in the frontcourt, you can win. But you can't beat a great PG like Magic if he has two frontcourt guys. Texas never gonna have Parrish, McHale and Bird in the frontcourt. That's really the dumbest thing I've ever heard from a college basketball coach. You don't need a PG to win? Is he smoking dope?

If you don't have the best post, or the best SG guard ever like Mikey or Kobe, you can't win without a real PG. I don't understand what Miller is talking about. He lost me. I'm not coming back until the chump wins a title.

I can't believe that a former PG said that crap. We've got no shot with that stuff.

I really can't believe Miller's answer to Gerry's question about point guards. I have no faith we'll ever win anything with a goober like that as head coach.

If Miller thinks it doesn't matter if a PG is a pass first player, it won't matter. It's like we got Bucky as a coach.

If the Lakers would've had 2001 Kobe in the 1991 NBA Finals, they would have killed the Bulls. The reason: Magic and Kobe's defense.

You could take Magic, Kobe, Worthy, Kareem and whomever you want and beat any combination of five other players in the history of the world. There's three reasons for that. The key is Magic couldn't be stopped at point. Kobe defending any perimeter you can think of and beating any player you want one on one. Kareem the best post player ever. None of this is combo crap. Magic running point. Kobe was a shooting guard who could defend any one else who was also skilled enough to score on any other wing in the history of the world. Kareem was the best post player ever. But Magic as a true point is literally the linchpin. I don't wanna hear no combo crap.

I like Miller, but I didn't like his answer to Gerry's question about point guard play. Magic is universally recognized as the greatest PG ever. He wasn't traditional in the sense that was literally the biggest point guard to ever play, but he ran the team like a QB and didn't worry about shooting first. You can't be a PG and think you need to score before anyone else. Magic could score as well as anyone, but he didn't try to do it first. I hope Miller gets a true PG and doesn't fall into the BS of combo nonsense.

I'll take Justified, too.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? This is writing.

Good writing? Living in the Twilight Zone.

Good stuff. I met Larry McMurtry and Cormac McCarthy in San Marcos 2010 at the 25th anniversary conference for Blood Meridian. McMurtry lamented that Blood Meridian would outlast Lonesome Dove in the long run. I told McCarthy I thought he based Blood Meridian on Plato. He looked at me for about five seconds and said, "Well, yeah. No one has ever said that to me."

My youngest daughter keeps asking me when Blood Meridian is coming out. I read the book with her five times from when she was ten to seventeen. I can't determine if it's really coming or not. I've read it's filmed and in the can. I've read it's maybe done. I've read it's nothing. My view is that it's extremely difficult to film. I don't know how you can do the book justice and put on film. I'd like to see an attempt, I hope it's good. Greatest novel in the history of America.

Let's go greatest films. I'm a Western fan, so it's going to be all Westerns. Rio Bravo (1959) The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) High Plains Drifter (1973) Unforgiven (1992) No Country for Old Men (2007)

Northern Exposure, Seinfeld, Cheers, Deadwood. Disparity of twenty years, but it's all more than twenty years ago

Why would an idiot like JR Smith talk to Kobe? Like Satan talking to Jesus.

After listening to America Horse With no Name, I listened to Isaac Hayes Shaft. Both were from a radio station in Estelline, TX.

Five day Camping trip Palo Duro Canyon May 1991 when I was 19. Pansies got nothing on me.

Since I can't stand Cuban and Mavs fans, this is my all time favorite. Only player in NBA history to outscore an entire team through three quarters. This is why the Mavs will eternally suck ass.

Mikey and Kobe is as good as it gets. These chumps today can't hold a candle. They literally have nothing in terms of work ethic, clutch play and pure balls.
