No one is actually reading the fantasy b ball thread due to original sin so is anyone still looking for people in a league where folks actually finish the season? My wife and I can go beat up on random people who set their rosters until February again I guess but I'd rather play people who give a poo poo

Like nobody just even spoke to Henson?

Like dog, white people can see a 12 year old black boy and decide the best course of action would be to do a GTA slide out of a car and gun him down in a park. Henson's lucky he didn't get shot tbh.

John Henson posted:Went to @schwankekasten jewelry today in White-Fish Bay during regular business hours. They locked the door and told me to go away. After I rang the doorbell twice everyone went to the back. No answered the door or told me what was going on. This was followed by two police cars pulling up and parking across the street and watching me for 5 minutes ( I assumed they were called by the store ). I was then approached by 2 officers and questioned about the dealer vehicle I was in which is apart of my endorsement deal with Kunes country Chevrolet and asked me what I wanted amongst other things that were just irrelevant to me being there just trying to shop at the store like a normal paying customer would do. I told them I was just trying to look at a watch.

I meant unbelievable as in don't want to believe, not dont believe. I live in S E Asia where in general being openly racist is accepted, or even expected, without a even a hint of shame, and the idea of shop owners retreating to a panic room because someone with darker skin shows up at the front door is just completely alien to me.

Boston is RACIST because the Red Sox were the last team to integrate, but Boston is NOT RACIST because the Boston Braves (since moved to Atlanta) were the 5th team to integrate New York City is NOT RACIST because the Dodgers (since moved to LA) were the first team to integrate, but they are RACIST because the Yankees were one of the last teams but that was a long time ago and Milwaukee is the city where John Henson tried to buy a watch at a jewelry store and they hid in the back and called the cops because a big black dude was at their door and I don't have an opposing equal story for that so Milwaukee loses Metapod posted:Enes Kanter is good I'll die on this hill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIKXEoOItrw

This is pretty cool, albeit a sign of how bad the Pacers are. Dejan Bimble posted:The new version of segregation and racism is making your city an impregnable fortress of capital that poors of all types but specifically ethnics have to flee the gates or be thrown in jail with their meagre coin purses confiscated Isn't this kind of what is happening in Detroit now (getting gentrified now because of "IT'S REALLY CHEAP AND NOT THE MURDER CAPITAL NOW EVERYONE")? I'll admit I looked for jobs in the area post college but decided that I couldn't actually take the snow, and, also was not offered any jobs.

The store had reason to take reasonable precaution like any place of business that stores expensive pieces like that. Calling the cops because a black guy wants to shop there is very far from reasonable. Mikwaukee cops will also shake down a guy and run through every background check they can if they spot someone not "fitting the regular neighborhood type".

Note to that guy who everyone was posting nba 101 stuff at a day or two ago: fantasy basketball is a decent way of learning quickly about drat near every relevant player in the league. And also a lot of sad, non relevant ones that you stream in desperation. Or it was for me, anyways because I'm a huge loving nerd.

Who has looked better in preseason than last year/what did they potentially change with their game? Harrison Barnes looks like he might be better at creating contact on drives. Dwight Powell may no longer be bad at shooting 3s. (I don't believe it.) Not much else really jumped out at me from Mavs that were on the team last year.

Shout out to rabidsquid a great poster who doesn't get the shine that some of the posting cabal of citizens of the island of St. CroixRick posted:This is pretty cool, albeit a sign of how bad the Pacers are. The gentrification was a slow trickle, but once they got an emergency manager and broke all the public sector unions and pension obligations, there was an absolute torrent of capital. It's the model! Ammanas posted:Are you saying the murder epidemic in Chicago (or "Chiraq") is an #illuminati method to break free of public pension obligations Chicago is following what the New York did in applying a rand corp model to withdraw public services from poor areas and being shocked when they turned to ruin. https://citylimits.org/2010/06/04/reviews-a-city-on-fire/ Obama got to be a senator essentially because he made chicago real estate people even richer, by getting black people to move out of their homes on the south side, so that luxury condos could be built. But there aren't enough Obamas for everywhere. You can say it's purposeful, you can say it's a sorrowful accident, but the outcome is the same. But I would argue there is agency behind most civic tragedies, and it's not the innate demonism of the poor. But to get back to basqet, Bucks are #Pursuing Rico Jefferson. They need the shooting and a guy to fill in while Jabouri is hurt and Mirza is the de facto 4.

They're starting another rookie at point and Fultz probably would be starting if he wasn't hurt/shooting terribly so they're still a ways off but yeah it's strange actually expecting them to win a playoff-worthy amount
