White folks who have never had to deal with any sort of discrimination are the first to call for civility. Off course those calls for civility are never directed toward the people not being civil.

I prefer to follow Dalton’s advice:

There are so many ways I can lambast this extremely idiotic take but I’m going to take the high road and “do it with kindness” (barf).

If you read enough sports blogs you know when a good take is coming. It will name drop jocks from at least three sports. It will have parallel sentence structure. It will end with a swear word and an exclamation point. Fuck, yeah!

This screams 76ers. Noel. Okafor. Embiid (maybe). Saric. Why not bring in Howard too?

No doubt. He handled a lot of things incredibly poorly. I personally hate the way he starts resorting to hard fouls when his team is being blown out, particularly towards the end of playoff series. And the Magic fiasco, leaving for the Lakers despite having a great thing in Orlando was definitely the worst. He shot…

Props to TNT’s Inside the NBA production side for blowing off a couple of commercial breaks to let the discussion continue uninterrupted. It was fascinating to see Charles and Kenny engage & confront Dwight, and share their old-head perspective with him.

The thing is that all these hardships were self inflicted. He had a good thing going in Orlando and he screwed it up. They ran an offense that was perfect for him, they had a coach that maximized his talents. Now leaving isn’t a sin, that’s not his mistake. It was his insistence that he become the focal point of the…

As long as it’s not Orlando, he’s everyone else’s problem now. Can we talk quickly about how horrible he is offensively. Think about it. He had Ewing in Orlando, presumably Jabbar in LA, and then Hakeem AND McHale in Houston. Even after all that he has one move. Face the basket, fake baseline, run through the lane and…

First, the Warriors are the better team against an average NBA team, even if it’s marginally so. The record and final +/- bears this out. (Plus, the Warriors didn’t even try on defense for half of the season, they were so utterly bored).

Can you really call it “overperforming” when the Thunder’s offense runs through a player so volatile that his explosions regularly register on the University of Oklahoma’s seismographs?

WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE?!

Why not? Your mom stayed up with us too.

You conveniently left out Allen Iverson, Shaq, Vince Carter, Tim Duncan, Yao, Kevin Garnett....what’s your point?

Get the fuck outta here with your #notallmen apologia. The reason why a minority of men can get away with such spectactularly bad behavior is that the rest of us participate in power structures that ensure that they don’t suffer any consequences for it. Nobody gets a pass for not being actively sexist in a patriarchal…

I mean, it may be a minority but I think it’s a lot of men. Just going by how I get treated walking down the street everyday. The silent majority of men should check their friends who say gross shit to women (37 weeks pregnant and the harassment has gotten really disturbing. There’s something really ironic about…

Dwight and the Rockets bench looked legitimately mad that they won.

Two thoughts ...

You mean the Finals the refs ruined? He shot like 100 free throws in that series. He was getting bailed out over and over again after throwing himself at Mavs players. It was embarrassing.
