[Photo caption:] Want to see the world through fresh eyes? Take a founder-led trip. Here, Naya Traveler cofounders Sofia Mascotena, Sarah Casewit and Marta Tucci are pictured in Ethiopia. Photo courtesy of Naya Traveler

By Laura Begley Bloom

Want to experience travel in a more meaningful and authentic way? A number of woman-owned travel companies are running founder-led trips to the world’s most amazing destinations. Some of these trips are led by women who are inviting travelers to the places they grew up. These journeys offer an intimate homecoming experience, providing the opportunity to go beyond the tourist route and discover a country like a local. Other trips are designed by jet-setting travel experts who have gotten to know a place inside out and have tapped into a network of insiders who will give you access to the best a destination has to offer. And other founder-led trips offer everything from business networking to soul searching.

Whatever route you take, a founder-led trip gives a unique opportunity to see the world with like-minded travelers and get an inside look at what it takes for an entrepreneur to launch a successful business.

Morocco, Spain and Argentina, with Naya Traveler

The Company: Naya Traveler offers highly personalized itineraries and curated experiential journeys to culturally rich destinations.

The Founders: Sofia Mascotena, Sarah Casewit and Marta Tucci believe that the stories and connections that emerge from traveling with “naya” (purpose) are just as important as the tangibles. Naya Traveler works with locals garnered from the founders’ own personal relationships, ranging from traditional artists and literary authors to ethnographers and more.

The Trip: Naya Traveler's first-ever founder-led trip to Morocco is set for June 3-13 with Casewit, who called this country home for over 20 years. She will take a small group of 12 travelers on a 10-day journey through her favorite destinations, including the medieval city of Fez, the Sahara Desert, the Red City of Marrakesh and more. Naya Traveler will offer two additional founder-led trips in 2020 with Tucci leading a small group to Spain and Mascotena leading one to Argentina, their respective home countries.

Puerto Vallarta with Vaera Journeys

The Company: Vaera Journeys runs retreats for entrepreneurial women on the verge of new ideas. The retreats are styled to help women take their personal and professional goals to the next level by helping them explore a project that gives them purpose.

The Founder: Vaera Journeys is the brainchild of New York-based travel writer Meagan Drillinger, who came up with the idea as a way to bring together her passions for uplifting other women and transformational travel.

The Trip: Each Vaera trip is inspired by a unique destination and includes curated experiences for up to 10 guests that are designed to foster creative discussion, including sessions with a guest speaker and one-on-one coaching. Vaera Journeys’ next retreat to Puerto Vallarta (May 2-7) will include bonding, networking and learning how to grow your personal business and brand. In addition to Drillinger, Elena Ollick — a serial entrepreneur who started her own business at age 16 — will accompany the trip as the featured speaker. A dedicated photographer will provide professional-level pictures to use for business head shots or on social media.

Paris, India, and Japan, with Culturati Travel Design

The Company: Culturati Travel Design leads expertly curated intimate group trips focused on art, architecture, design, food and style.

The Founder: After 21 years as Editor in Chief of Travel + Leisure, following five years in the same role at House & Garden, Nancy Novogrod is drawing upon her personal knowledge, insider network and passions to create trips to destinations throughout the world. Working in affiliation with Valerie Wilson Travel, Novogrod personally selects every element of the itinerary, from hotels and restaurants to access-rich experiences of arts and culture.

The Trip: In November of this year, Novogrod will be leading a group of approximately 10 people to India, a country she came to know well — and love deeply — during many past visits for T+L. Created in collaboration with leading specialists on the destination, the itinerary includes Mumbai, Udaipur, Jaipur, Agra and Delhi, with one-of-a-kind experiences of historic sites, such as the Taj Mahal at dawn. There will also be contemporary lifestyle excursions and expert-guided shopping for everything from shawls and fashion to art and decoration. Other Novogrod-led trips: Paris (October 2019) and Japan (March 2020).

South Africa, Kenya and the Northern Cape Province, with Roar Africa

The Company: Roar Africa's travel specialty is in the crafting of highly bespoke, private travel experiences that offer exclusive-access opportunities in Southern and East Africa.

The Founder: Deborah Calmeyer has lived between New York and Cape Town for the past 20 years, giving the Zimbabwe-born entrepreneur an understanding of the needs and desires of sophisticated American travelers. Her pioneering family’s 329-year history in South Africa forms the core of her ultra-luxe bi-cultural travel company run by women and supported by native-born guides and a curated network of experts, all committed to the preservation and support of the people, animals and environment of their fragile and extraordinary homeland. (You can read more about Calmeyer in "It's A Jungle Out There: 10 Wild Career Tips.")

The Trips: Calmeyer will lead Roar Africa's "Rewilding: Roar & Restore Retreat" (May 31 to June 5), a learning journey of reconnecting, self-discovery and self-realization in the wilds of Kenya at Segera Retreat. The lineup of speakers includes visionaries, game-changers and eco-pioneers who will encourage and stimulate thinking about rewilding and how our instinctual relationship with the wild is the best prescription of all. One week later, Calmeyer is joined by media legend Pat Mitchell for Roar Africa’s first-ever "Women’s Empowerment Journey" at Tswalu. Together, they have created a highly specialized experience hosted by an all-female team of pilots, guides, trackers, conservationists, chefs and hospitality staff who have overcome the industry "norm” in the male-dominated safari business.

European Rivers, with AmaWaterways

The Company: AmaWaterways offers unforgettable river cruise vacations with 23 ships sailing Europe’s Danube, Rhine, Moselle, Main, Rhone, Seine, Garonne, Dordogne, Dutch and Belgian Waterways and Douro Rivers, Southeast Asia’s Mekong and Africa’s Chobe River.

The Founder: Co-owner and Executive Vice President Kristin Karst believes that travel is imperative to opening up your understanding of diverse cultures. For Karst, there is no better way to learn and grow than exploring the world. In 2002 along with Rudi Schreiner (her husband) and the late Jimmy Murphy, Karst set out to create a river cruise company that she herself would want to travel with – and AmaWaterways was born. The name, “Ama,” comes from the Latin word for "love," and it's a concept that is woven into every aspect of their river cruises, from the design of the ships to the carefully-crafted itineraries.

The Trip: AmaWaterways’ special Founder’s Cruises debuted in 2018. The 2019 dates will be announced soon on Karst’s blog on the company's website. Guests who choose these cruises will have the unique opportunity to get to know Karst personally, experiencing firsthand her passion for river cruising while learning what’s on the horizon for this innovative company. In addition to enjoying the variety of daily excursions, active hiking and biking tours, wonderful meals and wine and beer that are offered complimentary by AmaWaterways, guests on board these Founder’s Cruises will have the option to also participate in the company’s popular wellness activities, led by a dedicated Wellness Host and championed by Karst herself.

The Founder: After a successful career as an editor at Town & Country and Town & Country Travel, Melissa Biggs Bradley founded Indagare in 2007 because she believed that creating a platform for exchange between passionate travelers would allow for more transformative journeys and meaningful global connections. Bradley has visited over 100 countries in her travels, and, most recently, she has been scouting in Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Madagascar, Egypt and Colombia.

The Trips: Indagare's Insider Journeys offer one-of-a-kind itineraries crafted around passion points, including contemporary design and architecture, outdoor adventure and wellness.

Peru, with Andeana Hats and Glossy Paradise

The Company: Andeana Hats works with Quechua artisans in the Sacred Valley of Peru to create pieces that capture the energy of the Andean people. Each of the hats has a woven intention band with its own meaning. Glossy Paradise is a natural beauty company that creates face oils that come directly from the depths of the Amazon rainforest, where nutrient-rich superfoods have been healing the indigenous population for centuries.

The Founders: For founders Laura Grier and Pats Krysiak, their mission behind the creation of Andeana Hats is to empower women, help support global artisans to continue their vanishing crafts and enable them to lead their communities out of poverty.

The Trip: Grier and Krysiak invite travelers to join them on one of their inspirational eight-night journeys through the Sacred Valley and the Amazon in Peru, visiting the origin of both of their businesses: Andeana Hats and Glossy Paradise. They've partnered with the non-profit organization, Awamaki, to create sustainable tours that not only are fun and educational, but provide a positive impact in the Quechua communities. On the tour, you'll get to meet the communities behind the products, see how they create them from scratch and get in a bit of relaxation and exploration while taking in the incredible beauty of the Sacred Valley and the Amazon, two completely different worlds that exist within Peru.

The Founder: Originally from the U.S., Stacy Readal first visited Tanzania in 1998 while studying at the university there.

Tibet, Rwanda and South Africa, with Souljourn Yoga

The Company: Souljourn Yoga is a nonprofit that raises awareness and funds in developing countries through yoga retreats as a way to promote female empowerment and girls' education to communities where equal opportunities aren't always readily available.

The Founder: An international journalist-turned-yoga teacher, Jordan Ashley recognized a need for service-based yoga and a need for experiences that give perspective to the self through selflessness. Feeling extremely blessed to not only be given the opportunity for education, but to have a voice in society, she felt it was imperative to raise both awareness and funds for girls all over the planet who are denied such essential human rights.

The Trip: Ashley is leading three upcoming retreats, starting with “A Tribe Called Tibet” (May 25 to June 1), a week of yin and yang, movement and meditation, luxury and social change on the Tibetan Plateau. The trip will include a transformative day with Educating Girls of Rural China, a nonprofit dedicated to providing higher education to impoverished young women. On Souljourn’s “Yoga Adventure Rwanda” (June 25 to July 5), you'll experience a full cultural immersion, go chimpanzee trekking and visit a women's collective in Kigali.

Tanzania, with AdventureWomen

The Company: AdventureWomen invites women traveling solo and/or with their friends or family on active explorations full of empowering discoveries across over 30 destinations. AdventureWomen is co-owned by Judi Wineland, who is also cofounder of Thomson Safaris and founder of Thomson Family Adventures. (You can read more about Wineland in "9 Lessons From The Wild That Will Help You Get Ahead In Business.")

The Co-Owner: Along with her daughters Erica and Nicole, Judi Wineland is co-owner of AdventureWomen, which she believes is much more than a travel company. AdventureWomen is a "relationship" company, encouraging women to build new connections with the world, with themselves and with other like-minded women around the globe. Wineland is also cofounder of Thomson Safaris, a safari tour operator in Tanzania that she created in 1981 with her husband Rick Thomson. In 1998, Wineland also founded the U.S.-based Thomson Family Adventures, which is dedicated to providing families with exciting trips around the world.

The Trip: Wineland is leading three "insiders" trips to Tanzania with AdventureWomen in May and October 2019, where she has migrated annually since 1979 (and where she and her husband launched Thomson Safaris in 1981). This unique itinerary includes an opportunity to watch the annual Great Migration in the Serengeti, go on day and night game drives in Ngorongoro Crater and enjoy gourmet, farm-to-table cuisine and luxurious accommodations at Gibbs Farm. This trip also offers unparalleled experiences for women to fully embrace the culture of Tanzania as they get to know entrepreneurial Maasai women and meet the self-empowered leaders of the Enjipai Women’s Group in a remote region of Northern Tanzania.

Bavaria and Oktoberfest, with WHOA Travel

The Company: WHOA Travel is an adventure travel company for women by women that’s all about stepping out of your comfort zone, connecting with women from around the world and having a crazy fun time in the process. (The WHOA in the name stands for Women High on Adventure.)

The Founders: Cofounders/chief adventurers Allison Fleece and Danielle Thornton believe that the WHOA style of adventuring is about more than just travel. It’s about taking risks, not taking yourself or life too seriously and taking every opportunity to be outside and active. Fleece and Thornton (aka "Dallison," short for Allison and Danielle) also believe in going out of your way to make choices that align with what you believe in, like supporting woman’s interests and locally owned businesses, especially when you’re traveling.

The Trip: Fleece is leading one of WHOA’s annual flagship adventures: a trip to Bavaria and Oktoberfest (September 19-24). It’s one of WHOA’s only journeys that’s not at a high altitude, but it’s still high on adventure, with hiking, biking and paragliding around Bavaria, a place where all trails lead to a beer garden. The grand finale is a coveted reservation at Oktoberfest in Munich. Fleece called Munich home for three years, so you can count on lots of insider local experiences and tips, and you’ll quickly discover that there is much more to Munich than beer.

Global Trips with the Women's Travel Group

The Company: For 27 years, the Women’s Travel Group has created affordable yet luxurious small group tours that appeal to adventurous travelers. The company's goal is to tap into up-and-coming destinations and bring women deep into a country, its culture and food.

The Founder: After living overseas for 10 years, Phyllis Stoller moved back to the U.S. and found American women were reluctant to travel solo. She left an executive banking position to create the Women’s Travel Group, which provides a safe and fun way for solo women to see the world.

The Trips: Stoller regularly hosts founder-led trips. This year, she'll be leading journeys to Albania and Corfu (April 15-22), a destination that's newly popular with Europeans, as well as another trip to Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina (September 27 to October 6) that begins in Zagreb and ends in Dubrovnik.

‘Rebound jousting’ is an NBA epidemic that’s not stopping anytime soon

Joel Embiid cursing out Ben Simmons for hitting him in the face is the latest example of a rising trend. Here’s why we see it more.

A lot of strange stuff happened in the 76ers’ 119-113 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on New Year’s night. There was a skirmish between Joel Embiid and Patrick Beverley, after which Embiid paid Beverley some respect. There was a shoving match between Jimmy Butler and Avery Bradley later in the fourth quarter, which got both players ejected. We got Ben Simmons sealing the game with this dastardly bit of trickery.

But I want to talk about this particular moment in the third quarter, because it illustrates a trend that’s becoming more and more common. Let’s call it “rebound jousting.”

Embiid to Simmons: “What is he doing? Fighting for a f—ing rebound?!” pic.twitter.com/LtBR5Recuo

— SPORTSRADIO 94WIP (@SportsRadioWIP) January 2, 2019

What’s happening here?

Bradley missed an open three, and both Embiid and Simmons went for the board. Embiid was closer to it, but Simmons instinctively flew in and slammed Embiid in the face while reaching for the ball.

Embiid grabbed the board and immediately cursed while falling out of bounds. As he stayed in the backcourt, the 76ers called timeout. The camera panned back to Joel, who was caught shouting “WHAT IS HE DOING FIGHTING FOR A F****G REBOUND” on the hot mic. That’s clearly directed at Simmons for endangering Embiid’s face on a rebound the Sixers were going to claim easily.

Does this reveal some HUGE RIFT between the 76ers’ two franchise players?

Nope, settle down. Here’s what Embiid said after the game.

Sixers’ Joel Embiid on his frustrated reaction to taking a blow from Ben Simmons during fight for rebound: “I felt an elbow on my face and I kind of freaked out because that’s my same face I had surgery on. That’s why I lost it. It’s a basketball play. Nothing to talk about.” pic.twitter.com/KyvS37GXrI

— Ben Golliver (@BenGolliver) January 2, 2019

Embiid is referring to the orbital bone fracture that kept him out of the end of last year’s regular season.

Even independent of that, you try staying calm in the moment when a teammate smacks you in the face. Frustration is understandable, especially for a hyper-competitive dude like Embiid. It doesn’t mean he hates Simmons forever.

So why’d Simmons go for that board anyway?

The 76ers’ broadcast suggested that Marcin Gortat pushed Embiid into Simmons, causing the collision. I’ve seen Marcin Gortat’s work up close, and yes, he does have a reputation for subtle shoves in the back on rebounds. (I remember Taj Gibson telling me about Gortat’s dark arts during the Bulls-Wizards 2014 first-round playoff series). But I can’t spot much of anything there, even if I slow down the video.

Stat padding is often a culprit in situations like these, hence the more common term of “rebound stealing” that is often associated with these situations.

But it’s hard for me to see this as a case of two guys wanting to improve their stats. That board would have been Simmons’ ninth of the game, It was Embiid’s ninth. There were nine and a half minutes in the third quarter, which would’ve given both plenty of time to get to double digits.

The most likely explanation is the simplest and most boring: two guys who just so happen to be the franchise’s two pillars went for the ball, and shit happened. Embiid wanted that board because he’s a big man that loves to play like one. Simmons wanted that board because it would’ve kick-started another fast break, where he’s at his best. It was an accident.

But rebound jousting is an accident happening more often around the league

Teammates “rebound jousting” with each has become more and more common, but I’ve never seen it more than this year.

The most visible example was when DeAndre Jordan damn near ran over Luka Doncic chasing for this board.

DeAndre Jordan just blatantly stole a rebound from Luka Doncic. It's not the 1st time but you could see Doncic really hated that one. He was like WTF?!? pic.twitter.com/GxrPJTIJHd

— Sportinfo.si (@Sportinfosi) November 3, 2018

This spawned a mini-controversy in Dallas, with ESPN’s Tim MacMahon reporting that the moment was a poignant example of how Jordan “has rubbed teammates the wrong way with what they perceive as selfish play.” Rick Carlisle even admitted that he it was “over the top” and later “addressed” with Jordan.

But there are more mundane examples of rebound jousting every night in the Association if you watch closely enough. I’ve been taking note when I see it happen in the games I watch. Here are just a few examples, pulled at random from my notebooks:

Last I checked, there’s no secret beef between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Patrick Beverley; or Tony Snell and D.J. Wilson; or Al-Farouq Aminu and C.J. McCollum. These things just happen, at increasing regularity.

But why so much this year?

My theory is simple:

Teams are trying to push the ball, and the quickest way to get it up the floor is to grab it and just go. (Russell Westbrook pioneered this approach to hilarious degrees during his MVP season).

As a response to that (and before it as well), fewer teams actually try to get offensive rebounds.

Let’s unpack that second point. With teams prioritizing transition defense more than ever, league-wide offensive rebounding has dwindled. In 2003-04, 24 of the 29 teams snagged more than 30 percent of their misses. This season, only five have. Last year, only two did. Denver’s league-leading 32 percent mark would have been 16th in 2003-04.

With pace up and actual contested rebounds way down, that leaves tons more rebounds that only one team is trying to get. And when only one team is trying to get those rebounds — and get them quickly to push the ball back at their opponent, at that — there’s a rapidly increasing chance the only obstacle in the way is a teammate. Hence, the rise in rebound jousting.

This is a weird quirk that’s not going away anytime soon, so get used to it instead of wondering if every moment like the Embiid-Simmons one reveals something deeper.

DeMarcus Cousins’ Warriors contract is less than these 192 NBA players made last season

The news that DeMarcus Cousins is signing with the Warriors made me shout out loud next to an open window. If anyone down on the street under my apartment heard me, then I apologize.

But what truly made my eyes almost pop out of my skull was the number he signed for.

Plenty of players take hometown discounts — and players who sign with the Warriors basically have to take a pay-cut of some sort to make it all work — but a player of Boogie’s caliber signing for the mid-level exception (basically a league-average salary) is unheard of.

Just how much of a bargain is Cousins’ deal for the Warriors? Take a look at the players who made more money last season than Cousins’ $5.3 million out of a database of 582 contracts.

Cousins certainly isn’t getting swindled here. He’s making more money than you and I will probably ever see, and he agreed to this contract likely because he’s already made more than $62 million as a professional and just wants to win a championship now:

Iako mnogi veruju da “The Pogues” dolaze sa Emerals Isle-a , to nije istina. Oni su iz King Cross-a, iz severnog Londona. Jedina keltska veza koja postoji je to što su Shane MacGowan-ovi roditelji iz Irske, basisti i pevaču Cait-u O’ Riordan-u, otac takođe dolazi iz Irske i na kraju Philip Chevron i Terry Woods, takodje imaju irske pasoše. Od njihovog nastanka u jesen 1982. pa sve do mnogih njihovih prepirki koje su trajale skoro tri decenije, Shane i The Pogues su bili na vrhuncu folk-rock muzike bila to keltska ili ne.

Pored basistkinje Shanne`Hasler Bradley, MacGowan je ranije bio član punkabilly `outfit-a` The Nipple Erectors (1978-1989). Ova grupa je izbacila singl `King Of The Bop` pre nego što su skratili ime u `The Nips` i doveli budućeg Pogue gitaristu James-a Fearnley-a. Poneki singlovi su se pojavili, čak je i album bio objavljen samo za POGUE prijatelje.

Pogue Mahone (ili na irskom – Póg mo thóin, a po naški – “ Poljubi me u dupe”) su bili osnovani od strane MacGowan-a, Fearnley-a, O`Riordan-a plus Spider-a Stacy-a i Jem-a Finer-a. Šestorka je bila kompletna dolaskom bubnjara Andrewa Rankena (koji se pridružio 1983. godine). Do proleća `84 osnovali su sopstveno ime praćeno njihovim debi singlom `Dark Streets Of London`. Na B-strani je pisalo Eric Boogle`s `And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda`.

U prvim svrikama „The Poguesa“ osećala se melanholija, lirika pabova i jedan ciničan stav prema društvu i establišmentu. Polu-falš pevanja, ispadanja iz ritma i socijalno-tradicionalni tekstovi, davali su neki punk šmek Poguesima, koji su važili za irske folk muzikante. Upravo taj punk šmek ih je i doveo do Joe Strummera i veličine kakva su tada bili The Clash. Svesrdnu pomoć u tome su imali od njihove izdavačke kuće „ Stiff Records“.

Već prvi album „ Red Roses For Me“ objavljen u oktobru 1984. godine stidljivo je ušao na britanske Top liste i sastojao se od nekoliko autorskih MacGowanovih kompozicija i nekoliko tradicionala. Veći uspeh su imale Šejnove „ Dark Streets Of London“, „Streams Of Whiskey“ i „ Boys From The County Hell“.

Drugi album im je producirao Elvis Costello i malo im je ispeglao zvuk, ne bi li bio prijemčiviji kriterijumima tadašnjih britanskih radio stanica. „ Rum, Sodomy & The Lash“ doneo je nekoliko izvrsnih pesama, na čelu sa „ A Pair Of Brown Eyes“, „Dirty Old Town“ i „ Sally MacLennane“

Sa trećim albumom konačno stižu na vrhove Top lista u Britaniji i polu-pijani duet sa Kirsty MacColl, „Fairytale Of New York“ stiže na drugo mesto singlova, a „Turkish Song Of The Damned“ i „ Fiesta“ postaju nezaobilazne pesme svih žurki na ostrvu u to vreme, bilo po lokalima, bilo po kućnim varijantama. Ni komercijalni uspeh nije izostao pa je „ If I Should Fall From Grace With God“ donekle napunio i džepove momaka iz benda. U međuvremenu, odrađuju sjajan marketinški potez, u saradnji sa legendama irske folk scene, The Dubliners, snimaju singl tradicionalne pesme „ Irish Rover“ i potpuno zadobijaju simpatije i konzervativnih irskih „narodnjaka“. Ta pesma se našla tek na remasterizovanoij verziji albuma „ If I Should Fall…“ izdanom par godina kasnije.

„Peace & Love“, sledeće godine, po meni, predstavlja mali korak unazad, iako je i na njemu bilo sjajnih momenata kao što su „Young Ned Of The Hill“, „Night Train To Lorca“ i „Misty Morning, Albert Bridge“. Konstantni problemi sa alkoholom gotovo celog benda, a najviše pevača Šejna Mek Govana, koji su kulminirali padanjem u nesvest na koncertu u Tokiju i delimičnim otkazivanjem japanske turneje potresaju bend iz temelja. Posledice se čuju i na albumu „ Hells Ditch“ koji je kritika sasekla, a publika skoro ignorisala (mada je meni, iz nekog razloga, taj album, najdraži iz celog njihovog opusa). Ipak, izdvojile su se pesme kao : „The sunnyside of street“, „Summer Of Siam“, naslovna i „Six To Go“. Album je producirao legendarni Joe Strummer.

Na kraju, Šejna izbacuju iz benda , a sam Strummer prihvata ulogu pevača na već odavno zakazanoj turneji po Velikoj Britaniji. Jedan uspešan koncert u Londonu snimljen je u leto 1991, a izdat je tek 22 godine kasnije, tačnije 2013. godine za Rhino Records. Na tom dvostrukom live albumu mogu se čuti i nekoliko pesama „The Clasha“ – „London Calling“, „I Fought The Law“, „Straight To Hell“ i „Brand New Cadillac“. Strummer se nije dugo zadržao na radnom mestu pevača, pa ga je zamenio Spider Stacy, koji je već imao iskustva kao pevač, jer je bio bivši vokalni solista benda „The Millwall Chainsaws” , a pevao je i na samim počecima benda.Inače, u Poguesima je imao zadatak da svira englesku flautu. Album “Waiting For Herb” nije ubedio fanove da grupa ide u dobrom pravcu i pored nekoliko sasvim dobrih pesama nalik na “ Tuesday Morning”, “Drunken Boat” i “ Pachinko”. Još lošije je prošao i “Herbov naslednik” , “Pogue Mahone” kojeg su napljuvali i kritika i publika, pa su se članovi složili da je došlo vreme da se razilaze.

Uporedo je Shane Mac Gowan oformio svoju grupu pod imenom “ Shane Mac Gowan & The Popes” koji je ipak bio samo bleda senka “The Poguesa”, a samo dno Šejn je dotakao nastupom na EXITU 2003. Godine, na Petrovaradinskoj Tvrđavi, kada je “pijan kao dupe” samo oponašao pevanje dok je bend u pozadini više zvučao kao loš kantri bend nego “keltski pank” sastav, Bio sam prisutan tada i moram priznati da je mene bilo sramota kako je sve to izgledalo i zvučalo.

Negde 2004. Godine, mada je i par godina ranije bilo reči o tome, pa čak i sporadičnih nastupa po klubovima, Šejn i “ The Pogues” prave reunion i bez snimanja novih pesama, koncertiraju širom Ostrva i Evrope sa promenljivim uspehom. Izdaju se remasterizovana izdanja ranijih albuma, neke neobjavljene pesme i live albumi ranije odsvirani. Alkohol i opijati i pored stalne borbe i odvikavanja, jednostavno nisu dali “The Poguesima” da se vrate na stare staze slave. Ostaće upisani u istoriju popularne muzike kao bend koji je u jednom trenutku imao sve potrebne kvalitete da se popne na vrh i ostane tamo. Zašto nije tako bilo, znamo i sami. Ostaju nam samo neke pesme koje će sigurno ući u neke antologije najboljih rock pesama ikada.

NBA-Highlights of Monday’s NBA games

(The Sports Xchange) – Highlights of Monday’s National Basketball Association games:

Warriors 99, Cavaliers 92

Klay Thompson broke a late tie with a 3-pointer and Kevin Durant protected the lead with two key defensive plays on LeBron James, lifting the Golden State Warriors to a 99-92 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA’s marquee matchup on Christmas Day.

Neither team led by more than nine points in the tightly contested rematch of last spring’s NBA Finals, which the Warriors won in five games.

Durant, despite just 8-for-19 shooting, had 25 points to pace the Warriors, who have won six of their last seven at home against the Cavaliers.

Kevin Love had a game-high 31 points and 18 rebounds for the Cavaliers. James was held to 20 points on 7-for-18 shooting.

Sixers 105, Knicks 98

Joel Embiid had 25 points and 16 rebounds, and J.J. Redick added 24 points with four 3-pointers as Philadelphia snapped its season-high five-game losing streak.

Enes Kanter had 31 points — including 14 in the third quarter — and 22 rebounds, and Kristaps Porzingis added 22 points for the Knicks, who have lost three of four after winning four straight.

Ben Simmons, who struggled offensively and finished with eight points, had a crucial steal and breakaway dunk with 1 minute, 6 seconds left, jumping in front of a Porzingis pass and taking it the other way to give the 76ers an eight-point cushion. He then forced a turnover on New York’s next possession, and Philadelphia was able to juice the clock late.

Wizards 111, Celtics 103

Kelly Oubre Jr. and Bradley Beal both scored five straight points during a late 12-0 run, leading Washington past Boston.

It was the first time the Celtics played at home on Christmas, and they were fighting an uphill battle throughout the game. They wiped out an 11-point third-quarter deficit and led by five before the Wizards (19-15) caught fire.

Beal scored 25 points and grabbed eight rebounds and John Wall had 21 points, 14 assists and five boards. Kyrie Irving and Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 20 points apiece.

Thunder 112, Rockets 107

Russell Westbrook scored 31 points to lift Oklahoma City over Houston.

Westbrook outdueled James Harden, who finished with 29 points.

Paul George added 24 and Carmelo Anthony 20 for the Thunder, who extended their season-long winning streak to five games.

Trevor Ariza and Eric Gordon scored 20 for the Rockets, who lost for the third consecutive time after winning 14 consecutive games.

Timberwolves 121, Lakers 104

Taj Gibson and Jimmy Butler scored 24 points apiece and Minnesota continued its best start in 14 years with a victory against Los Angeles.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 21 points and 10 rebounds and Jamal Crawford contributed 19 points off the bench for the Timberwolves, who shot a season-high 58.3 percent from the floor.

Kyle Kuzma made 6 of 11 3-pointers and scored 31 points to lead the Lakers. Jordan Clarkson added 17 points and Julius Randle scored 16 off the bench.

The Outlet Pass: Butler's Sacrifice, a Fun Cavs Trade, Oubre's Evolution

With tomorrow being Thanksgiving (Happy Thanksgiving!), The Outlet Pass has arrived one day earlier than normal this week. Enjoy!

1. In Honor of Thanksgiving, Here’s a Fake Trade We Can All Be Thankful For

Cleveland gets: Marc Gasol Memphis gets: Brooklyn’s first-round pick in 2018, Tristan Thompson, and Iman Shumpert

When Gasol first signed his five-year $110 million deal nearly two and half years ago, popular thought was father time would tarnish it sooner than later. This was something the Memphis Grizzlies had to do, even while fully understanding the odds-on risk attached. (A broken foot suffered the following February increased the likelihood of it being a sunk cost.)

Instead, at 33 years old and in his 10th season, with a new coach, overhauled system, and personal submission to the three-point line, Gasol is still kicking as a borderline All-Star, albeit one whose crater-sized impact in Memphis isn’t as expansive as it used to be.

According to Synergy Sports, Gasol is currently the least efficient player in the league when he gets double-teamed in the post. Some of this is thanks to a small sample size, diminishing athleticism and curbed quickness, but his surrounding personnel deserves a smidge of blame, too. Even though some of their shooting percentages are up, opposing teams are still open to doubling off Chandler Parsons, Tyreke Evans, James Ennis, Dillon Brooks, and the rest of Memphis’ roster.

A move to Cleveland would do freaking wonders for Gasol’s one-on-one game. The attention LeBron James demands is unrivaled, and picturing those two surrounded by three dead-eye snipers—like Kyle Korver, J.R. Smith, Kevin Love, healthy Isaiah Thomas, or Jae Crowder—is a daydream. James has never played with someone like Gasol: A pass-first center who can space the floor, anchor an excellent defense, and singlehandedly create open threes on the weakside when he goes to work on the block.

And just think about the lineups Ty Lue could utilize with LeBron on the bench. Gasol and Love, by themselves, could become the NBA’s mightiest frontcourt tandem this side of New Orleans. Gasol helps in a likely Finals rematch against the Golden State Warriors in a way very few players can. He’s a savant on both ends.

The risk in trading a lottery pick for any player who can opt out of his contract in 2019, let alone a declining 33-year-old who plays the league’s least attractive position and would have to sacrifice a whole bunch of touches overnight, is an obvious risk—even if said pick is owned by a Brooklyn Nets squad that figures to finish with the sixth or seventh worst record and not the first or second.

But let’s play out one possible scenario if they don’t make a seismic trade: Cleveland adds a borderline-washed-up buyout candidate, loses in the Eastern Conference Finals or Finals, lands the sixth pick, watches LeBron leave in free agency, and is bad forever. If surrendering the Brooklyn pick for someone like Gasol is possible, then convincing James to stay is the right move.

Meanwhile, Memphis should do this in a heartbeat. Injuries around the Western Conference are keeping their playoff odds on a respirator, but Mike Conley’s weary Achilles tendon isn’t really allowing them to make up much ground. They’ve lost five in a row and eight of their last ten, with an offense that ranks 22nd despite them never, ever turning the ball over.

The smart long-term play here is to squeeze as much as they can get for Gasol, then rebuild around two lottery picks, with one potentially landing in the top five, in a five-player draft. They can also move on from Thompson and maybe even get a late first-rounder for his service as well. Memphis already has its own top-eight-protected first-round pick headed to Boston in 2019 (which becomes unprotected in 2021), so the best time to replenish their roster with high-upside youth is today.

2. Victor Oladipo…

...has more points than Anthony Davis, Steph Curry, Kyrie Irving, Paul George, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, Karl-Anthony Towns, John Wall, and...Russell Westbrook. The Indiana Pacers have had a top-10 offense all year long despite not having Myles Turner (the dude everyone expected to be their best player) for seven games. Oladipo deserves a statue.

3. It’s Time to Expand Kelly Oubre Jr.’s Role

The Wizards are an obscenely dominant basketball team when John Wall, Bradley Beal, Otto Porter, and Kelly Oubre Jr. share the floor, outscoring opponents by 22 points per 100 possessions. This makes sense. Three of those players are on a max contract and the fourth is a 21-year-old southpaw who’s shooting 47 percent from above the break.

Washington knows what it has with its three best players, but Oubre Jr.’s growth is the variable worth watching. Right now he’s still raw and able to impact games with his athleticism, energy, and length. But knowing the ball ultimately starts in Wall or Beal’s hands—particularly throughout the postseason—it’s worth wondering what type of developmental path Washington should try and set their moldable Sixth Man on.

Oubre Jr. has only run a handful of pick-and-rolls this season, and, to nobody’s surprise, whenever he does dribble off a screen and try to make a play his timing and vision are both a little off.

Despite a leap in playing time, his assist to usage ratio is still near the bottom at his position (and down from where it was last season). He averages as many potential assists per game as DeAndre Jordan—fewer than Steven Adams and Tyson Chandler—and his 20.9 passes per game are fifth fewest in the entire league among all players who average at least 25 minutes.

This doesn’t make him selfish. Oubre Jr. is happy and willing to swing the ball and forfeit his own good shot so a teammate can have a better one. His job is to finish plays instead of start them, but given Washington’s routine bench struggles, it’d be a godsend if Oubre Jr. could quickly grow to become a reliable secondary or primary ball-handler when Wall and Beal both rest.

If the organization’s plan is to win with this foursome leading the way, the Wizards would be wrong to clone another Porter instead of encouraging Oubre Jr. to become a more versatile offensive weapon. In about eight fewer minutes per game, he touches the ball less than Jeff Green. It isn’t too early to diversify Oubre Jr.’s responsibilities. When you’re a good team that knows it’ll make the playoffs, that’s exactly what the regular season is for.

4. Everyone is Surprised by Portland’s Secret Weapon Except LeBron James

Last week, the Portland Trail Blazers decided to turn back the hands of time by deploying Jusuf Nurkic and Caleb Swanigan in their starting lineup. The mammoth-sized duo was a predictable disaster, clogging up driving lanes for C.J. McCollum and Damian Lillard, preventing either big from having as much room to operate in the post, and creating at least one mismatch on the defensive end that could be exploited by a more modernized frontcourt.

Despite going 2-1 during this week-long experiment—that was partly induced by injuries elsewhere on the roster—Portland consistently found itself in a hole from the jump, causing Blazers head coach Terry Stotts to start the third quarter of last Wednesday’s win over the Orlando Magic with Pat Connaughton, instead of Swanigan, on the court—a game-saving halftime adjustment. (Stotts’s final straw came two nights later when the Blazers scored 82 points in a very bad loss against the Sacramento Kings. Noah Vonleh has started at the four since.)

The buried lede here is that while Portland struggled to score trotting out two slow frontcourt players who don’t complement one another in any way, what they discovered during this same stretch is a three-guard unit that could be their secret weapon.

Lillard and McCollum are an obvious staple that create myriad headaches for the opposition. Throw Shabazz Napier into the mix and it’s pandemonium. The trio only played 20 minutes last season, but in 38 minutes this year they’ve blitzed opponents by 38 points per 100 possessions.

Last summer, Evan Turner was paid a handsome sum to be the ball-handler who could enable Portland’s two franchise guards to work off the ball, decimate opponents off screens and rouse panic by setting paralyzing picks for each other on the weakside. He can still do that, especially from the block when backing down smaller defenders. But replace Turner with Napier and install a versatile wing like Mo Harkless or Al-Farouq Aminu at the four, and all of a sudden the court becomes a hornet’s nest.

The offensive upside is clear: three ball handlers who can shoot, drive, and pass, constantly racing around to kick dirt in your eyes, is hard to slow down. But so far (small-sample-size alert!) they’ve also been able to hold their own on the defensive end, in part because Napier plays like an unswattable mosquito whose hands and feet never stop moving.

But there are limits to being “frisky” when you aren’t catching an opponent off guard, and some of their success is because Napier’s three-point percentage is actively burning a hole in the ozone layer. That doesn’t mean this speedy triad should be demoted or even stuffed in glass as a “Break-in-Case-of-Emergency” axe. Stotts should ride this unique group as long as he can, knowing few teams have the personnel to match up with it on both ends.

5. Jimmy Butler is Sacrificing Too Much

The Timberwolves are not the NBA’s most disappointing team. Since November 1st, they own a top-10 defense, and for the whole season they’re outscoring opponents by 6.8 points per 100 possessions when Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson share the floor. But this team, at 10-7, feels disappointing.

They’ve yet to find a way to synchronize their overwhelming talent in a way that accentuates each individual’s skill-set, and startling losses against the Phoenix Suns and Detroit Pistons (a game they should’ve won, considering they were home, with a day of rest, against a team that’d just dropped two in a row) have been the result.

Given his contract situation, past performance, and high expectations, Butler’s struggle to look like himself is probably the team’s largest concern. Nobody should’ve expected a fluid overnight fit, but 15 games into his seventh season, the three-time All-Star has yet to find any rhythm in a system he’s already familiar with. Sacrifice is wonderful and necessary, but the degree to which Butler has altered his role to appease Andrew Wiggins, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Jeff Teague is a little excessive.

What’s best for him is probably also best for the Timberwolves. Instead, watching him play he looks out of rhythm, like he doesn’t know when to hunt and when to be passive. The degree of difficulty in some of Butler’s scoring situations has been higher than it should be, too, given the influx of talent by his side. Last year, 17.1 percent of Butler’s shots were hoisted when the shot clock was “late” or “very late,” according to NBA.com. This year, that’s up to 25.9 percent. He has more catch-and-shoot opportunities, which sounds nice but has never been his strength.

According to Synergy Sports, Butler’s possessions as a pick-and-roll ball-handler are down 11 percent from last season. What was once a tool he used to carve defenses up has been more of a dull blade.

Butler’s usage is down, he’s touching the ball 11 fewer times per game, his turnover rate is at a career high, and his free-throw rate is at a career low. That last point is crucial. What initially elevated Butler to an elite level was his ability to draw contact and live at the line. Last season, he was fouled on 20.1 percent of his shots, which ranked in the 98th percentile among all wings. That percentage is currently half what it was. (A plethora of pull-up twos are acceptable when you live at the free-throw line; he’s not quite Tobias Harris, but trending in that direction.)

So much of this is because Minnesota’s roster simply isn’t conducive for a slash-first-ask-questions-later bulldog like Butler. His drives to the basket are now more complicated than Catherine Zeta-Jones vs. one million lasers, in large part because defenses are ready and willing to help off a majority of his teammates.

There are few in-house alterations that can make life easier for Butler, but he hardly ever plays with Nemanja Bjelica (who, ho-hum, is the most accurate three-point shooter in the league right now); in the 52 minutes they’ve shared the floor Minnesota has obliterated everything. (General side note: Gibson has been awesome but Gorgui Dieng and Shabazz Muhammad have not—play Bjelica more often Thibs!)

There’s no need to panic in Minnesota. But youth, lack of shooting, and non-existent depth at the wing are concerns they’ll have to navigate the rest of the season. Putting the ball in Butler’s hands more often won’t solve them, but Jamal Crawford, Teague, and Wiggins should not have a higher usage rate than he does.

Among all players who’ve seen the floor for about the same or fewer minutes than Butler this season, Evan Fournier, Jayson Tatum, Tim Hardaway Jr., Jeremy Lamb, Will Barton, and Bojan Bogdanovic have all scored more points. Something needs to change.

6. Toronto’s Offense Is Official

Despite struggles in the clutch, which reflect a reversion back to the isolation-heavy, late-shot-clock-heaving approach that hurts them so much when it matters most, Toronto’s offense is quietly morphing into an unselfish monster.

Last season, the Raptors ranked dead last in assist rate. (They were 28th in November during the 2016-17 season.) This year, they’re up to 14th, with 17 more passes per game. They’re 14th in pace (up from 22nd last season), shooting way fewer long twos and a lot more threes. Paths to the rim are wider and open more frequently. The result? They rank fourth in offense and third in effective field goal percentage.

It’s growth in real time, partly due to the infusion of youth from guys like OG Anunoby (the most underrated rookie in an abnormally loaded class), Fred VanVleet (whose name I thought was “Van Fleet” for about two years), Delon Wright (who just dislocated his shoulder), and a few others.

Toronto’s two lynch pins are doing their part and C.J. Miles is flashing Ryan Anderson-esque range. The ball moves better when DeMar DeRozan isn’t on the floor, but that’s also when their offensive rating drops to its lowest point. Probably because the guy’s footwork makes it look like he’s hovering two inches above the court at all times.

DeRozan jacked up three shots beyond the arc in the opening minutes of Sunday’s win against the Wall-less Wizards. While still low, his three-point rate is exactly double what it was last season. They aren't perfect, but Toronto's evolutionary shot profile makes them the second-best team in the Eastern Conference.

7. Orlando Treats the Three-Point Line With Too Much Reverence

The Magic should shine on defense. They have athletes who excel at key positions and a coach who’s known for extracting brick-wall execution from much less physical ability.

But after a hot start shooting the ball, Orlando’s defense has become one of the league’s 10 worst. Part of that’s due to injuries up and down the roster, and high usage big men—like Nikola Vucevic—who have known limitations. But a bit of their struggle can be explained by an aggressive “stay home!” attitude towards the three-point line.

Orlando’s defenders, as twitchy as most of them are, have been directed to form a permanent fence at the arc. They don’t allow swing passes to open threats on the weakside and aim to make outside shooters feel claustrophobic. According to Cleaning The Glass, Orlando holds its opponents to a 27 percent three-point rate, which is second-lowest in the league. And from there, the strategy of always being in position to contest outside shots has worked pretty well, with opponents only making 34.5 percent of their threes (though that’s likely a bit more happenstance than strategic ingenuity).

On the surface, this is a rousing success! But in reality it’s like they’re hermetically sealing a body part that actually needs reconstructive surgery. Here’s an example:

At the top, Aaron Gordon does a good job keeping Joe Ingles from getting to the middle of the floor, leaping up and forcing him left. But as the Australian swingman drives towards Vucevic, neither Elfrid Payton nor Evan Fournier pinch in to tag the rolling Derrick Favors. Instead, they treat Raul Neto and Donovan Mitchell like they’re Splash Brothers when, actually, they're Raul Neto and Donovan Mitchell. Favors snatches Ingles’s pocket pass and finishes with an easy dunk.

The moral of the story: Personnel matters. It’s great that the Magic are executing their coach’s scheme and denying three-point attempts en mass in a league that’s filled with teams that are obsessed with that exact shot, but nothing will ever be more efficient than a layup, and nobody is allowing more of those than the Magic.

8. The Willie Cauley-Stein Bandwagon Has Plenty of Room

Photo by Brad Penner - USA TODAY Sports

I will forever believe that Willie Cauley-Stein is a useful, if not good, basketball player. He’s my personal equivalent to how a specific segment of NBA Twitter once felt (feels?) about Anthony Randolph. If Cauley-Stein was, like, seven percent more confident and nine percent more aggressive, with a point guard who draws attention, manipulates back-line rotations, and can shoot, he’d be Steven Adams.

Cauley-Stein actually made a three last week, too, and is one of a few centers who’s defended Joel Embiid without much help and not been steamrolled in the process. I want nothing more than to see him develop outside of Sacramento, not sharing the court with Zach Randolph and Kosta Koufos. Is that too much to ask?

9. You Can’t Help But Respect Carmelo Anthony’s Commitment to Being Carmelo Anthony

Before clarifying is words and backtracking from the belief that he, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook need to be more selfish in order for the Oklahoma City Thunder to find offensive nirvana, Carmelo Anthony concluded that he and his two All-Star teammates are instinctive players who need to be more instinctive.

Even though his instincts have been wrong for quite some time, that’s a perfectly fine thing to believe. But if I played for the Thunder and read this quote, I'd refrain from ever passing him the ball. On top of a defensive demeanor that exudes the same amount of energy and attention I used to display on Thanksgiving morning throughout my early 20’s*, Anthony’s assist to usage ratio is only higher than nine percent of fellow forwards around the NBA. He could wear wide receiver gloves sprayed with stickum for an entire quarter and nobody would notice the difference.

*The below isn’t a great reflection of Oklahoma City’s collective effort, but Anthony somehow manages to make everyone else look like they're hustling their ass off. He airballs a jumper and then backpedals to midcourt as the rest of his teammates turn to run.

Salute.

10. Donovan Mitchell’s Audaciousness Is Inspiring

The Utah Jazz are in a sad place, but, on the bright side, they also have Donovan Mitchell, a fearless firecracker with more responsibilities on his plate than any rookie on a decent team should. Just look at this wraparound pass to Rodney Hood, the finishing touch on Utah’s execution of a Hammer action.

Freeze the clip at the exact moment the ball leaves his fingertips. Even though Mitchell knows Hood is about to (probably) spring free in the corner, it still must feel a little scary to sidearm a ball the length of the baseline towards empty space. It arrives a little low, but that's nitpicking. This was hard and he made it look easy.

Most of the 21-year-old’s offensive numbers are dreadful, but bold, trustworthy traits seen in sequences like this are enough to convince me the Jazz have a keeper.
