Russ is actually a willing passer but after his teammates fumble a good pass for the 8th time hes susceptible to hero ball.

Good morning thread. The Grizz have tied up the series with the mighty mighty Spurs and all is fun in the world. There's been a lot of talk round these parts about blowing it up, especially after the deletions handed out by San Antonio in games 1 and 2. But this guy did a good job summarizing how a lot of us Memphis fans feel, and I wanted to share it with you all.

Better if it lasts for years,

wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.

That's frustrating to see still. Simple swing pass to Durant to Reggie Jackson to attack Blake, you got Durant and Thabo in the corner to space the floor.

Only his kid(s) are really really good, and he's operating on the National Stage.

Amar'e became terrible at basketball the same season he discovered his Jewish roots. As a Jew myself I found the deliberate implications deeply unsettling, fortunately it became okay to hate Amar'e for being a Jew once he moved to Israel and announced that he hates fags and loves Zionism.

The NBA has a web of acceptable racialisms and innuendos. You're allowed to make fake honorable bowing motions and clothesline any celestials you see on the court; you may not under any circumstances fall into a senile fugue and refer to Magic Johnson as "some black guys"; the one drop rule applies to Blake Griffin but not Steph Curry; these are all facts and deeply understood histories known to all true NBA fans, please do not try to impose your strict outsider monolith morality upon our functional ecosystem of historical associations.

FYI people don't apply the one-drop rule to Steph Curry because of his shoe line.

Kawhi Leonard is averaging 32.5/6.5/3/2 on 58/53/100 shooting splits. He's at .456 WS/48.

Yet he's not going to make it to the second round.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

Stoudemire isn't Jewish, he's a Messianic Hebrew Israelite.

In other words, he's a loving whackjob.

Golden State in the middle of the court cutting up about how they are light years ahead and all of the sudden the lights go out and music starts playing. The banana boat crew walks out and an impromptu 4v4 match begins
