Somebody probably did.

And mom most likely followed it up with "Do you know who the fuck I am?"

Cool

So you get to act like that? Nah.

Nope.

I don’t think they did.

ESPN stuck a camera in her face as soon as a foul was called.

Every.

Single.

Time.

It was ridiculous.

Would love to see her pull that shit in Philly. She will spend the rest of her life in therapy.

Canadiens are a gentle folk.

Someone should have had enough sense to shut it down, including Demar if he knew it was her.

He knew.


Speaking after the game, DeRozan said: "I kept hearing something during the game during free throws.

"I looked back like … dang, that's my daughter screaming."

DeRozan also revealed he had allowed Diar to skip school and attend the match in Toronto.


He added: "My daughter called me the other day when she was getting out of school and she just said, 'Dad, can I come to the Toronto game?'

"I remember her going to all the Toronto games when she was a kid and I almost said no because she's in school back home.

"But she kept asking. She was just adamant about coming to support and I said, 'All right, you can miss one day of school and come to a game.'

"I'm glad I did. I owe her some money for sure."

Dunno if any of you guys venture over to Reddit.

But, the Raps subreddit is in full meltdown mode…lol

They even changed the banner of the main thread.

Buncha Boomers up in here.

Is rim protection not help defense?

Sure, but usually represented by blocks?

Like was said earlier...many fan bases would've not stood for that shit.

 

[shopson67]

Plus it was a well officiated game

Ingram might disagree, he was getting bodied on the dribble quite a bit. Otherwise, yep.

GenX thanks.

Dort is elite

Da fuq? There’s likely about 8-10 shot alterations or discouraged shots for every one block. Blocks doesn’t tell that story.

Watching that foul merchant Reaves has changed your perspective on what a foul is.

I know.....right?

Looks like him.....won't see him on Maury.

LOL.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Dort is elite

Well not quite just yet.
But his trajectory is leaning that way.
He's a very good player though...no question...and a real nice fit for that team.

Mike Brown....

Kings' Brown voted as NBCA's Coach of the Year

After leading his team back to the NBA playoffs for the first time in 16 years, Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown has been voted the National Basketball Coaches Association's Coach of the Year.

Dubs/Wiggins....

Everything pointing to Wiggins playing big role for Warriors

The Warriors have been nothing but complimentary toward Andrew Wiggins since his return to the team, and it looks like he'll play Game 1 on Saturday.

[msgkings322]

yup

Jokic lapped the field this year. Again.

It's really not close.

It's Mike Trout-like

But Trout plays defense.

Picking Jokic is very defensible. Saying "it's not close" is dumb.

 

[msgkings322]

So awhile back I made a comment that the Thunder might be willing to trade Giddey. After last night I am trying to think of a suitable punishment for saying that. Before anyone says it, No, I’m not going to fight @Mecca.

It is time for the Thunder to push their chips in. Don't need to trade away any of their top players (SGA, Giddey, Arkansas, etc). Problem is to trade firsts for what they need, which is a veteran who can be their 2nd best player, they'd have to match salaries. Can a bunch of firsts do that? I really don't know how that works.
