Dude, you are talking to someone who doesn’t watch television

good for you Donnie…better to live life than watch it…that shit most likely rots your brain…i’ve loved tv since i was kid 🙂

Jennifer Garner played Clara Allen? – yes, and she was very charming…

I reject it sight unseen.

ha…

Steve Zahn and David Arquette(!) played young Gus and Call? – they each played gus mcrae in Comanche Moon and Dead Man’s Walk respectively…Karl Urban and Jonny Lee Miller (???) played woodrow call…neither really stood out…Steve Zahn did a pretty good job at mimicking what duvall did 20 years earlier…

no doubt, robert duvall and tommy lee jones made them famous characters…

despite the leads in Dead Man’s Walk not being so terrific – it had a phenomenal supporting cast…

12 of our remaining games are on either NBAtv or ESPN…if we were ever any good – we’d be on tv all the time…

i was very pleasantly surprised with james garner in Streets of Laredo…he did a great job…

i don’t know whom the best clara was…personally i liked jennifer garner in the role…if you say angelica huston – it’s pretty hard to argue…***

Dude, you are talking to someone who doesn’t watch television, remember? Not even when the Knicks are on TNT. (Are the Knicks ever on TNT?)

Jennifer Garner played Clara Allen? Steve Zahn and David Arquette(!) played young Gus and Call? Oh man. (Zahn is at least a Texan, I think, and if not, at least he’s played one a lot in Reality Bites and in Linklater movies. JG is a a doll, as nice as they come, but I can’t imagine her as Clara. Clara has to be larger than life for Gus to want to even consider settling down for. I reject it sight unseen. (As for Davi Arquette, I don’t even know where to begin.)

I like the original miniseries, which I caught in 7th grade, peripherally, over my mom’s shoulder, back when Dukakis was running for president and Pitino was coaching the Knicks. In retrospect It’s probably about as good of an adaptation of an epic as one can do, but it certainly benefitted from having 6 1/2 hours to do it, haha. Jones and Duvall were great. (Even Ricky Schroeder was good. Turns out he’s good at acting, just bad at real life.)

have you ever watched Dead Man’s Walk or Comanche Moon…steve zahn did a really good job, not david arquette’s best work, if there is such a thing…

In the book Lonesome Dove, there’s a chapter where the aging Texas Rangers get disrespected by a bartender. They bust his nose up with their gun barrel and point to a picture hanging on the wall. ”It’s just a picture of us boys, back when you wanted to make us senators,” they say. ”We was the law around here when you was still sucking the teat.”

Sorry. The Ewing thing made me think of that. If only Larry McMurtry was writing Ewing’s Twitter feed.

Carry on.

(Edit: man, it’s a good thing McMurtry wrote that before auto-correct. It took me several edits just to get the vernacular right)

How do rest both of them and give away a game during a playoff drive when you are coming off the all-star break and another break of about 7-8 days before that because of game cancellations? Even Pop would have played one of them.

Agreed. Very odd.

Z-man:
Kemba held Kyrie to a cool 40

Smart is back. The Celtics will start playing better soon. Jaylen Brown had a rough night. The east is a lot tougher than it used to be.

Brian Cronin:
At least the Thunder are kicking the Mavs’ asses!

Prozingis and Doncic BOTH out for a scheduled rest on a B2B?
