2021 NBA regular season thread

[dtgold88]

Stephen A. mentioned that he wasn't impressed with a stat line that Westbrook where he had 35 points 20 rebounds (or something along that line). That it comes down to how his teams doing. For the record, no one all-star player is expected to win an NBA title, especially in today's climate. For a while, people were putting Westbrook as a top 10, sometimes a top 5 NBA player at one point. With that, people are going to ask why you're not winning as much. He certainly has had help along the way.

The argument now comes from Westbrook's response and he's basically soft that he got so triggered from what SA said.

Idea you read that comment and thought soft is a you problem.

So anytime somebody responds to criticism it means they are triggered?

And is SA actually trying to troll Westbrook here?

The answer is no on both counts.

SA’s job is to talk about athletes and give his opinion. He did that. Russ didn’t like what he said and he responded to set things straight. That doesn’t mean he was triggered, or emotional, or soft, or any of that.

Absolutely no reason to criticize his response. I am curious, did SA say anything back?

I remember you saying Vincent was trash and shouldn't even be on the team a month or so ago.....Or maybe it was why Spo has him in the rotation at all.....LOL.

He got better and they dont play him as much. Before he was playing 20-25 minutes nightly

well said....Is someone triggered if they reply to Westbrook's comment and are worked up over it?

Now THAT is irony.

I am not saying anyone is triggered, but a fair question.

I wouldn't either, but if one thinks Westbrook is triggered/soft.............?

He did. Basically didn't budge on his original point.

He isn’t wrong.

But I don’t think anybody views Russ as a superstar anymore.

So kind of silly to make a big deal about it now.

KD is probably triggered.

KD is probably triggered.

LOL.

Probably.

Nets' Durant fined $50K for 'derogatory language'

The NBA fined Kevin Durant $50,000 for using "offensive and derogatory language on social media," the league announced Friday.

So wait, Meyers Leonard kills off his entire career for using a word during a video gaming session yet KD almost gets a pass for continually using anti-gay and misogynistic slurs in a blatant aggressive attack?

Seems legit.

The heat ability to switch 1-5 with multiple lineups in the playoffs will be huge.

Where is he triggered

Please point it out in his comment

Players are no longer allowed to give a mature and thoughtful response without being called triggered lol. Such a joke

If you want to see triggered/soft then just watch Durant interview with Barkley on opening night. That is triggered

 

[Stakesarehigh]

KD is probably triggered.

Always always triggered

 

[thunderc]

KD is probably triggered.

Dude is permanently triggered

Meyer Leonard is a end of bench player. KD is a superstar. That makes a huge difference

Also, KD didn't say anything to offend Jewish people or any particular group.

Reality is people talk like this all the time in private. Both guys were wrong for different reasons but i wasn't offended by anything KD said. He just continues to come off as super sensitive

 

[bksballer89]

Also to be fair, Leonard and KD got fined the same amount of money so they were handled the same way by the league.
