Why had you been rolling your eyes at earlier criticisms of Lavar?

I’m NOT defending Delly (him getting ejected probably helped Milwaukee’s win probability), but I’m curious about something else.

Come on. This shit is a flagrant 1 at its worst.

I never said anything about his “reputation” or that the refs are “picking on him.” I get it, he’s a white dude that is dirty/gritty depending on who you ask, and this is a questionable play. He was clearly trying to wrap him up. If Delly is stronger, Beal doesn’t start to break that wrap, it’s a hug, and just a…

It’s a dirty play and all, but Beal doesn’t go down nearly as hard if he doesn’t throw his head back like a sniper shot it.

Agree. Was a failed wrap up. The ejection was completely rep related.

Oh come on he did not “demolish” him. Beal fell hard, sure, but not because Delly threw him to the ground or anything. Tried to wrap up but Beal is stronger, started to break the wrap, but not all the way.

I was going to make a joke about LiAngelo rooming with Freddy Adu, trying to mount comebacks in second tier leagues of some far away country ... but realized LiAngelo is already pretty much at that career stage already

LaMelo is destined to follow the high-level You Tube/Exhibition career like The Professor

They look like a 12 year old and a 16 year old seeing boobs for the first time, but being told they can’t touch them.

I’m not so certain of that. Lithuania played Spain tight at the Rio Olympics, and have fielded some of the better international squads at the FIBA World Cups.

so...all of them?

I do wonder just show much their teammates resent the Ball bros, particularly the ones who are presently better basketball players.

I just hate them so much...

You lost me at Miami being a big market. Miami is and always will be the worst pro sports market.

As a grown man with CP, I really appreciate your take.

What is “correct” is subjective. What one person may deem correct or appropriate may be offensive to someone else. What mainstream society (i.e. straight white males) think is correct really means jack shit. Oriental used to be correct. Colored used to be correct. Does that mean Asian people or people of color liked…

Not sure why you’re being obtuse about it. It’s pretty clear what she said. And her “backing it up” and immediately rephrasing it as “stupid person” is even worse because it doubles down on the false association between those terms.

Think about the usage of the N word or calling something “gay”. Very similar. Also in the “old days” colored used to be appropriate. All the terms I just mentioned used to be words used to “describe” people/things.

I’m sorry, what? JG was either going to be traded or signed. There is no reason to hold him until the end of the year and get absolutely nothing for him when his contract is up.

I was excited for this piece. I came away disappointed. These are all rumors that already existed. Aside from rephrasing the rumors, there isn’t anything new here. Feels like a reverse puff piece.
