We have mutually agreed to part ways with head coach Jason Kidd.
A Mavericks champion, Hall of Famer and coach who helped lead this franchise back to the NBA Finals. Thank you, Jason. #MFFL

With the game on the line, Dylan Harper defended Gilgeous-Alexander clean, but as usual Shai kicked his feet towards Harper's then sold that foul like it came with a commission check. He even sent the Refs hunting for a flagrant- which of course they couldn't find.
Plenty of replays, including one from the stands that makes it look even worse.

Got my Gunsmoke Gage shirt on, but I won’t be at the game. Work Xmas party this evening at a Brazilian steakhouse. While GT attacks the Wall QB, I’ll be attacking an assortment of grilled meats. Let’s Roll! #TPW I’m taking GT for the win!

The Texas Quote of the Day comes from Townes van Zandt. It's pretty heavy. He was interviewed in 1992, when Garth Brooks was just becoming big. Townes was asked if he thought the newfound popularity of Garth's music might benefit him, somehow, as a songwriter. Townes responded:
“No, I don’t think, as a matter of fact, that I’m going to benefit from anything on this earth. It’s more like that. I mean, if you have love on the earth, that seems to be number one. There’s food, water, air, and love, right? And love is just basically heartbreak.
Humans can’t live in the present like animals do; they just live in the present. But humans are always thinking about the future or the past. So, it’s a veil of tears, man. And I don’t know anything that’s going to benefit me except more love. I just need an overwhelming amount of love.
And a nap. Mostly a nap.”
---- Townes van Zandt, in an interview with Peter Blackstock in the alternative-country bimonthly magazine "No Depression."
I read Townes' words and it's apparent to me that some people live life on a deeper level than I do, closer to the core, to the true essence. Meanwhile I'm out here wondering what shirt I should wear.
Nico Harrison’s exit from the Mavericks as GM after four-plus seasons is regarded as imminent and could happen as soon as today, @TheSteinLine has learned.
It’s never going to make sense:
Luck into generational player.
Slowly build the perfect team around generational player. Trade generational player for nothing.

Astronaut Bill Anders would have turned 92 years old today. He was part of the @NASA Apollo 8 crew that flew to the Moon in 1968 and he took this photo...
