By blackace Go To PostThe optics that she can say anything she wants to a player and have accountability? I agree that's not a good look.It's all a stupid situation. She probably should have been banned right along with him too.
Her husband got banned, she didn't. And now we are ok with fining Russ because of her but not the husband? Seems ass backwards to me 🤷🏾♂️
By jar155 Go To PostIt's all a stupid situation. She probably should have been banned right along with him too.without a doubt...
I just think the NBA needs to do a better job defending their players from this... This would be a perfect chance to standup for them

I get it. ijs.
if somebody could beat the Clipper or Spurs that would be great.
Or maybe i should hope for the 7th/8th seed to play Denver and not OKC/Houston.

Jeff needs a vacation, though.
They don't have to pay tax on that? weird.
By Pac-12 Go To PostJeff needs a vacation, though.If i'm being real the playoffs are a burden, Lakers fans are lucky.
lmao the Pels broadcasting crew is pushing this as a Cheick Diallo vs Giannis game. AD is starting and Diallo is not. I am here for this.
Kenrich still doing what he does but his shot is dreadful tonight. It's one thing to miss with in-and-outs, but his misses have been ugh-ly.
By diehard Go To PostBizzare

By Adam Go To PostWhat's your take on how we've been doing thus far?I'm very, very excited about our future. If we can land a top free agent, we should be able to do some serious damage next year. We even have an outside shot at making it out of the first round this year given the right matchup.
had this discussion with somebody that didn't know there was racial connotations to "boy", sure enough.. first twitter reply.
well, no way this guy didn't know about the racial connotations with the way he was emphasizing the "bo-ah"
fuck this guy.
fuck this guy.
By diehard Go To Posti do wonder what KD could do at receiver thobesides getting broke in half?
By shun Go To PostJazz fan calling Westbrook "boy" repeatedly from last year's playoffswhen a person calls you son or kid it's like once in the conversation... like "damn son!"
So I might give a person a pass if they werent saying it over and over again.. at that point you lose the I didn't know excuse because you were deliberately drilling that word home
By Random Ass Username Go To Postthey don't know the racial connotations please ignore saying it like a jim crow southernerI have never been called boy - any Jazz fan here
By diehard Go To Postwhat?Just you guys have a good record of defending your horrible ass fan base...
I mean you basically started by calling Russ and we need more facts to ending with some people don't know the racial implications of their actions
I remember when Russ snapped it was us blaming fans...
maybe stop taking everything i say in the worst light possible? It's clear you have some sort of bone to pick here.
Do i need to go every post i make to with explicit words of condemnation of your liking? I never said anything about how that dude calling russ "boy" wasn't racist (it was).

Klay Thompson is the most unguard-able, greatest offensive player to step on this Earth when he is hot. Dude is the best player in the history of the game and you cannot stop him when he gets in that zone. He is a guaranteed first ballot hall of fame player who is also one of the better 2 way players in the modern NBA and does his job night in and out without complaint, taking injuries like a champ.
Meanwhile you got a bum who couldn't even make the first ballot unlike his coworker TMac, who couldn't get a front office job unlike his other "superstar" contemporaries, who got lucky to get hired as the token bum on broadcast analytics, talks like he won multiple championships despite getting his ass carried, has to go try to make himself relevant by saying shit like he was a better wing shooter than Klay or taking away from Harden by saying he invented and made the step-back popular.
You are a glorified Joe Johnson and the biggest bum "superstar" in the history of the league.
By diehard Go To Postmaybe stop taking everything i say in the worst light possible? It's clear you have some sort of bone to pick here.Just have a bone to pick with the douchebags at NBA games... when players are saying things are bad in Utah maybe stop rushing to defend Utah's honor? It's not an attack on you personal if some ignorant dude is being racist.
Do i need to go every post i make to with explicit words of condemnation of your liking? I never said anything about how that dude calling russ "boy" wasn't racist (it was).
But you are the first to act like fans aren't being racist... Even when players were confirming the stories you are quick to try to downplay it because of some other things that happened during their career.
It's easy to take what you say in the worst light when all you do is downplay the events.

It's not an attack on you personal if some ignorant dude is being racist.I don't think I try downplay things, i think you might be mixing up some Jazz fans here, but it's possible.. i can't remember what i said years ago (honestly i'm a little bit different person than i was 5+ years ago too). I made the wrong call after seeing Westbrook video of saying he would fuck that dude and his wife up and I thought I basically said that in further posts. The one where it might look like I was downplaying things was only in specific reference to the phone-slap video. I'm sure if i went through my post history i could find some more posts where i was wrong but...

There are some awful Jazz Utefans and we need to get rid of them, no excuses. As embarrassing as the last day has been for Jazz fans, It can only help.
Also, I don't believe i've ever said anything as ridiculous as what shun just posted.
I think he's talking about how, when PPat first said dude was racist, you jumped to attack his credibility... by confusing him with Terrence Jones.
Blackace's point is the next time Utah does something racist, maybe don't go reaching hard for reasons they might not be racist.

By Netsradamus Go To PostI think he's talking about how, when PPat first said dude was racist, you jumped to attack his credibility… by confusing him with Terrence Jones.At that point i was trying to have fun with it, and still got the player wrong. You are right, i fucked up there.

TIL Terrance Jones is back on the Rockets.
By diehard Go To PostAt that point i was trying to have fun with it, and still got the player wrong. You are right, i fucked up there.Even if it was Terrence Jones though that wouldn't really have had anything to do with what he witnessed.
It's shades of the "he was no angel" shit that's often used to dismiss racism and discredit its victims.
By Netsradamus Go To PostEven if it was Terrence Jones though that wouldn't really have had anything to do with what he witnessed.Nope, you are correct. I wasn't taking it as seriously as i should have and came with bad jokes. Definitely a form of downplaying. I can remember what other said years back but i can't remember my own posts from yesterday apparently.

Rodions Kurucs will make the All-Star game at least once in his career.

Don't prove that statement right...
