Yeah, I guess it’s also worth mentioning that Tortorella is an asshole who’s worn out his welcome everywhere he’s went.

This kinda singles them out, doesn’t it? I don’t know if I’d read that as a threat or a dare as a player, especially a black player.

“Hey John, you’re not a football coach, have no ties to the San Francisco 49ers, never met Colin Kaepernick, never dealt with the San Francisco or Santa Clara police, have probably (I’m assuming) never been harassed by the police nor have had a family member or friend harassed by the police, coach a sport whose…

The Warriors definitely did a number on the Cavs without Love and Irving. A completely single-handed Lebron only pushed it to 6.

Now if it had been Glenn Rice ...

Yeah but then Curry would’ve have to fly Draymond Green in to kick the kid in the junk at some point in the series.

Pro Tip: Don’t Google “stuffed Filipino teen” for additional video of the game.
