White people who want respect are Don Corleone, but if you're black, its called thuggery. This is the unfairness of racism, and is quite common in rich old white people, who would be the ones making this decision and doing the pear clutching. Are you going to pretend that reputation and optics are not huge factor for decision makers? Femur fucked around with this message at 13:43 on Mar 31, 2017 |

Didn't see it mentioned so maybe I'm blind, but KCP got arrested the other night for a DUI while at exactly 0.08% BAC. Tough break. Pistons really took a nosedive as soon as Dejan doomed them by saying they were looking alright

You might want to sit down, I have some news about Jason Kidd you need to hear. I always thought he was Latino growing up

I didn't get to watch any games last night but I'm actually really surprised that the Blazers won. I saw on my sports app that it was an even line for HOU/POR and I thought that was insane given how good Houston has been. Looking at the box though, Houston was 8-34 from 3 including 2-13 for James Harden. That's pretty loving bad. Portland's perimeter defense must have been unusually solid or else Houston was just ice cold.

Like yeah guards are field general, bench players are students of the games.. believe that crap if you want. Or maybe guards are the smallest, and bench players the least intimidating to old white dudes.

Pistons really took a nosedive as soon as Dejan doomed them by saying they were looking alright They were in position to cruise into the playoffs and then lost to such worldbeaters as the Nets, Heat, Magic (by 30), Bulls (by 20) and Knicks (by like 25). They did break their losing streak last night with a one-point victory over the Nets.

1/3 of NBA head coaches are PoC, which blows away any other major sport in America. It used to be worse but is getting better.

The Cavs are kinda confusingly awful when Lebron sits despite having Kyrie and Love on the roster. Those few games when only Lebron is out, the team looks and plays awful.

based on Eye Test it feels like kyrie is really bad at running a unit without lebron which is odd cause when hes actually doing his best lebrons barely involved in the play. kyrie needs moral support and friendship to truly ball it seems

 [Spears] DeMarcus Cousins said Vivek tried to reach out to him 2 weeks after he got traded and he responded: "Look, why are you reaching out to me two weeks later? There is no point. If you feel like you’re doing the right thing now, it just shows who you really are as an owner."

Yall can continue being pedantic about Kidd, or just look at his picture, but whatever. As Zogo pointed out, yall only beleive in corruption at a conceptual level, yall cant accept the reality. Racism is something that hicks and trump voters do, not your precious team.

Wait what even prompted this convo? Re:Kidd There is a discussion to be had about black or mixed kids and adults who can "pass" as white or have lighter skin tones. And changes in perception based on it. This prooobably isn't the place to have it. The Bulls just loving swept the season series against the Cavs and Hoiberg has only lost one game against them since joining on. Niko has ascended to Alpha status, and Rondo has regained his Alpha title. Just imagine what happens when Wade returns with the ascended Niko and the Bulls have 4 alphas to unleash on the Celtics or Cavs

It should be familiar to any minority who dares to speak up at work) but I'm really rooting for him and the Pels post-trade.

Dexo you can't have Four Alphas. It is a physical law of the universe. If Niko wants to become an Alpha, he must defeat one of the other Alphas in combat, probably with swords.

being a fan of the nuggets is to know pain. no fa will ever willingly sign here. tje team owner is a walmart heir whi thunks he is some great basketball mind (ive met him and he is basically the jared kushner of basketball lol). the organization is only concernes with maximkzing profit at the pepsi center, which still has some of tbe leagie's highest average ticket prices despite being dead last in attendance and not making thr playoffs in 4 years. they threw away nurkic and a 1st round pick so they could make a run at the 8th seed just to fill the arena for 2 playoff games and he ended up with nurkic killing those hopes and showing how fuckin retarded the fo is lol I need a new team
