That is ALSO Griffin’s fault. 1) It’s his job to know what free agents are going where. If he was completely unaware that LeBron was returning to CLE (he couldn’t have been, could he?), then he’s even more incompetent than the Blatt hiring suggests he is.

No comparison. Mark Jackson dragged a dead franchise out of the gutter. His players, including the future MVP, spoke negatively of his firing. Mark had the respect of his players day one.

The Black guy from Alabama got it absolutely correct. The question is, why did the Sacramento Kings have to be told by a player not to hand monkey shirts to people on the first day of Black History Month?

David Blatt also wanted to get Kevin Love “more involved.” The question was never “Does David Blatt understand basketball?” He’s been playing and coaching his entire life. None of this is complicated. We know he understands the game. The question is, “Can he coach a team with multiple stars to a title?”

You are ABSOLUTELY correct. We’ve seen this called at all levels of basketball, including the NBA. When a player reaches over the line to defend an inbound pass, delay of game warning. Do it again and it’s a tech. The way that was handled was embarrassing.

Nah. Suh would’ve attacked the player, not the ref.

This was about as bitch a move as you’re going to see. Then he follows it up with a ho ass lie. We saw you follow through on that check. They should suspend him for a full season. Then, maybe everyone else will know not to pull anymore punk shit like that.

Opposite of mine, too. All kinds of people read the pieces here. As you know, since you’re here, it’s great work (it’s all relative - you can read Ta-Nehisi Coates and Juan Cole and get pissed off, or come here and get a chuckle while reading how straight to shit everything is). I think some people underestimate the…

Why? He was a GREAT comedian.

Amy Schumer needs to tell her writers to stop stealing jokes. She’s not just using the same words. The delivery is similar. This is reminiscent of the Carlos Mencia bullshit. But, worse because Schumer is MUCH more talented.

“Thug”? I know Bach didn’t say this, but EVERYONE used to call Scottie soft. So, he was one of those soft thugs? Geez.

Funny, but they’re incorrect. Whiteside isn’t the problem. Not even close. He’s one of the few things going right for them.

Correct, correct, and correct.

I played AAU with him briefly, so this just makes me sad. He was a three sport guy. He was a really good basketball player, but great at football and baseball. Also, extremely intelligent. That’s the part that makes me sick. A man’s mind shouldn’t fail him in his thirties. Fuck football. It isn’t worth it.

When the refs don’t know the rules, they need to be held accountable. Otherwise, what’s the point?

Exactly. Every now and then Barnes will get a flagrant, like a lot of guys. But, he isn’t really dirty. He gets in actual fights which have little to do with the game itself.

If anyone involved with Straight Outta Compton shows up at the Oscars (nominated or not), that’s some lame shit. And I’m sure Ice Cube has been before and that’s wack as fuck. These awards shows (Grammys too) should be ignored.

So, “You like that?!” redefined trash talk but THIS is corny? Sure.

There’s no doubt about it. Nik Stauskus is trash and TJ “Butt Fumble” McConnell is only slightly better.

HE’S acting like a child while she screams dumb shit at a basketball player. 👌
