2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

I didn’t see this part. The Clippers are shooting around and yet workers are on the other end. Giannis basically wants the ladder pushed over 6” and the douche pushes it back over. I would be pissed too. Not fair to the opposing team

Meet the first NBA player who was born after LeBron's debut

Detroit Pistons rookie Jalen Duren was three weeks away from being born when LeBron James played his first NBA game. As he turns 19 on Friday, this "old soul" is ready to make his own mark on the NBA.

Yep this is why all the facts are needed first. Everyone was on giannis at first. Once the full story came out, he was in the right

 

[trojanfan12]

Yeah, and the white guy who played for the Heat? Hasn't played since.

There seems to be a double standard here.

It's how the world works. The more talented/good at your job you are, the more shit you can get away with,

Derrick Lewis fight is cancelled.

Fuck.

There is a double standard.

But, it's not racial.

One is a asset, one is a scrub.

* See Watson, Pacman Jones etc

If anything, this is closer to Kyle Larson Nascar.

I seldom disagree with you but if you are saying that the players union would be standing up for Kyrie if he were white and said something derogatory about a different race I have to respectfully disagree with you.

This is agenda you are trying to push is sad

No agenda here Bud, I’ll have the same opinion regardless of race, creed or color. I hope you work to always be able to say the same. I wish things were different but the players union is not consistent, therefore they look bad.

Nets owner dropped the ball and so did the commish

Oh I absolutely think the league dropped the ball big time, this shouldn’t have fallen on ownership in the first place in my opinion. Silver is so weak. I just think if the players association was going to do this it should have been the second the conditions came out. I have no problem with them protesting procedural things they think are against what they have in writing, as long as they do it for everyone.

No.

I'm saying his behavior and punishment is closer to Kyle.

I didn't mention the players union.

So, not sure where you got that from.

I have repeatedly said a white guy would be fucked if he did this.


By David K. Li NASCAR star Kyle Larson was suspended indefinitely by NASCAR and his racing team on Monday for dropping a racist slur during a virtual racing event. The 27-year-old native of Elk Grove, California, was competing in an iRacing event Sunday night when he seemed to lose communication on his headset with his spotter.

Got ya, I understand now. As far as Larson he ended up being suspended for the remainder of an entire season. He then won the series title the following year. Maybe Irving will do that too.

Doubtful.....lol

But, the reason I said this is less about race and more about the players skill level seems obvious.

* See Enes Kanter

Think Jokic would still have a job if he did what Kanter did?

What about Giannis ?

All 30 teams would still be in line for their services.

Sadly, skill trumps ethics.

That was my point.

Yea I get it, but does that go directly opposite of what a union is supposed to be? Now we are getting into the fact that professional sports unions are certainly not true unions. I know you weren’t speaking of the union though.

I mean, they aren't.

Everything is about money.

* looks both ways to make sure @fightinfunbags isn't in the room *

Police Unions support dirty cops all the time.

Ffs, despite what some think about George Floyd...

None of his crimes were punishable by death.

Chauvin had 18 internal affairs investigations BEFORE that incident.

He shouldn't have even been on the fucking streets.

 

[bksballer89]

@bksballer89 what's the status for all those guys who were out last night for Sunday?

Injury report out and i was basically right. Herro out and basically all the guys from yesterday listed as questionable with Duncan being the one exception. Listed as doubtful

 

[bksballer89]

Kyrie questionable
