2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

I think Rose will attempt more take downs. Think it goes the distance with Rose getting the decision.

This is the reason MMA > Boxing .

Way more quality matchup without all the fucking dodging to build up your bank account.

Unless your name is Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz or GSP. But at least GSP has earned that right.

But totally agree. Pitting the best against the best in their primes.

For Crissakes.....

People love to try and steal a person's moment to shine.

I just turned on my TV and I see Divincenzo's name.

I'm thinking they are discussing will he stay or will he go, will he be a 1st round pick.

But, no....

They are talking about a fucking tweet he sent when he was 14.

Look, I fucking hate racists.

White racists, black racists, brown, yellow, green, blue...all of you mother fuckers.

But, that was a lyric from a song. A song by an artist that comes from the place this kid was living at the time. A song that I'm sure he heard all over town and that referenced Derrick Rose.

GMAFB.....

Listen, if we are going to be triggered every time someone of a different race uses a slur, that is used as a term of endearment for that particular race, maybe we should stop playing that Shit on the radio, on the internet, in our cars driving down the street.

Biggest moment of this kids life and they hit him with this Shit?

Disgusting.

Look, Nate gets much love after stepping in and kicking Conor's ass.

That was a str8 G move...lol

I'm done with McGregor.

Dude got that Money Mayweather cash and went completely off the rails.

McGregor is just looking for an easy return. He wants no part of Khabib. I think if Khabib wins, I think he might take a shot going back to Featherweight to face the winner or Holloway and Ortega. Or if Woodley can't come back I think he may take a shot at Welterweight for the winner of the interim between RDA and Covington.

But think Conor gets murked by Woodley and Khabib.

Is Woodley's shoulder still Fucked?

I just can't with him.

Good fighter. But, he's too petulant for me.

But, I would love to see him break Conor...lol

Yeah, he's rehabbing now. I heard he was targeting a July return. He is a bit petulant, but he's still a beast, despite those last two fights he had with Wonderboy and Maia.

Reading about all these tough guys got me to thinking about all the fake tough guys the warriors will bring to the OKC tonight.

Yeah. Not to mention he was in high school when he wrote that crap.

He will learn his lesson about the Internet and social media and he deserves some backlash. But, he also deserves forgiveness and a clean slate moving forward.

Yeah, I guess it's hard to be as tough as those OKC guys. Westbrook didn't even want any smoke with Evan Turner, lol. Turner didn't even flinch.

Congrats on the Clippers' W ahead of time tonight!

How about Gordon Hayward & an autographed Danny Ainge throwback jersey for Kawhi?

See, I actually disagree.

He doesn't deserve any backlash.

A 14 year old basketball prodigy quotes a lyric in a Rap song that is related to basketball?

No.

In 2018, people have to be more conscious of what they put on the internet because it can live forever.

But, ffs.....he was 14...lol.

The fact that the lyric suggests Rose is a baller is all you need to know to realize it was an ancient tweet.

I think he will get more Shit for the use of @TJL favorite word than a meek mill rap lyric.


The tweet from August of 2011 is a lyric from Meek Mill song Derrick Rose that had been released just more than a week earlier. The tweet, and lyric, in question is: “Ballin on these n____ like I’m derrick rose!”

I dunno, man. Spurs might still find a way to put one on y'all...

So when will the Lakers fire Walton? They would have made the playoffs w/ just about any other HC. Does Magic know what the hell he's doing?

Look on the bright side. At least they aren't the worst team in Los Angeles.

Let's see who's left when the 2018-19 Season begins.

Is there any chance your Clippers draft LiAngelo Ball? Papa Ball sayz he's already better than Westbrook.
