Yeah its something you don’t want to ignore in a period piece but also have to be graceful about. Easy to fuck up and backfire.

I’m not with you on that. I love the series and will be back for it.

I would say a nut punch is a more blatant show of disrespect than stepping over someone...

Draymond has the worst luck. every flail of his hand/legs/feet in these playoffs miraculously end up in the same vicinity as an opponent’s junk. how can the NBA not see this as just a strange coincidence?!?!

I love me some Draymond but no one should be surprised. He crossed over the line from intense to reckless in the OKC series. He was just given an effective warning for this (which many people thought was too light) and he still couldn’t control himself. Of course, LeBron taunted him and then not-so-subtly campaigned…

Yea, becaus when you inexplicably get away with hitting people in the dick time and time again, you should just be able to get away with it forever.

Yep. Has nothing to do with the pattern of Green going after an opponent's nuts.

He got suspended for accumulating flagrant fouls, not for hitting LeBron in the junk. If he had no other flagrants, he would still be playing tomorrow.

***HOTTEST OF HOT TAKES*** ALERT

Wait — I thought that All Takes Matter was the joke name given by Deadspin.

Wait, All Takes Matter is the real name of the show? I thought that was just Deadspin’s name for it but that’s the real name?

Really? The name is “All Takes Matter?”

>Fuck anyone who sees in color.

How quickly we forget that we’ve already prematurely buried 2 teams this playoffs. The home team winning 2 games, even by a lot, is not series ending. It looks pretty bad for the Cavs, but you’d think that this playoffs would have already taught us not to fill in the rest of the series outcomes before they happen.

It’s different for white people because it’s different for white people. Being white in this country is a dramatically different experience than being black in this country. Black folks’ preference to be around other black folks comes arises from that history and experience of being the people who have been…

it’s basically “they were so good we didnt even CARE that they were black!!” its so awful

you are stuck on this and your attempts to use it as an explanation to what is probably your own racism is transparent af.

I’m thinking that may have a lot to do with how people who were not “his own” treated him.

black people preferring the company of other black people is not racist.

Fail. You, not her. And pretty self absorbed if you think she didn’t do well because YOU didn’t recognize it.
