Under current of racial tension? possibly if your not one of the many black/mexican people in attendance.... but you can say that about anything in america. 400 years of enslaving and murdering and raping us can do that to you.

there's always been an undercurrent of racial tension between fans of basketball & the players...an uncomfortable realization that the guys they're cheering for aren't the same as them, that the game they're playing is on a completely different strata physically than what they play/played, etc. that bothers a lot of…

This doesn't really make sense to me. Basketball is not a "niche sport." It's hugely popular - far more so than hockey. Check the TV ratings on basketball, participation numbers, TV rights fees, or, really, any survey. If basketball is niche, than you are really saying all pro sports in the US outside of football, are…

This argument doesn't make sense to me. People dislike the NBA because the fans aren't passionate enough? Also, I don't think it's fair to call basketball a "niche" sport in the US.

No response to the gif. No response to the final foul count. No response to any of the points I made. Just accusing me of being the biased one. Laughable. Can't just admit it was a good game and series, the refs made some touchy calls in both directions, but weren't the reason for the outcome. Oh well, enjoy…

You must not watch many Penguins' games...

Sure, he's sad now, but tomorrow he'll realize that there are still 8 teams left for him to root for.

Oh yeah ignore the momentum and could've been series changing tech on Garnett who didn't even touch Lowry when Lowry jumped into him twice and then fell down while Joe Johnson was on the ground after Patterson deliberately fell on his leg to injure him. That T was totally justified. Or the countless offensive and…

Calm down, Mr. Casey.

Started from the bottom now we...somewhere in the middle.

They're white, so there's that.

"Just hold on, we're goin' home...."

So one argument I see from hardcore Hockey fans that trash basketball every chance they get is that hockey players are so much more likable. How are the Leafs so much more likable than these Raptors?

After getting by the Pacers in round 1, would the Knicks have had trouble with the Wizards?

are the Knicks kicking themselves for not getting the 5 seed in the West?

The Vine is for you, but GIFs are forever.

Sure, if you're the local dry cleaner... This will have zero impact on the Nets, and they know this. And you know what, it'll work. The arena will be crazy for Game 6. It's not like fans are going to boycott a tweet and sit on their hands for a game. They'll want to be loud, if for no other reason than to shove it to…

You missed the target by a wide margin.

by not allowing minorities to rent your properties, you ensure that your neighborhood remains white

Buying land in expensive areas doesn't make you a racist, come on. Not letting blacks and lations into those buildings are what make him a racist.
