They finally suspended kyrie but no one should give this completely morally bankrupt nets org any credit

[close]

Can anyone tell me what Kyrie actually said that was antisemitic? Like a direct quote?  Can't seem to find it on the internet.

He shared a "documentary" that claims that black people are the real jews and that real jews are actually fakers and thieves. It's hotep bullshit

Valid question from the overrated catfish-faced Paul Pierce:

Why does Kawhi escape censure from fans for always being injured when Anthony Davis doesn’t?

And then he doubled down on it and refused to outright say he wasn't anti-semitic.

Those two rings. I've seen what the man can do single handed. Davis outside of the bubble hasn't done anything

Right, but he also has played 182 games since that second ring and forced a trade from the Spurs after sitting out for a season for debatably health reasons (at least that’s the story the Spurs were putting out there). 

Not denying he isn’t an amazing basketball player when he’s playing, but he seems to go for long stretches of not playing but doesn’t get the same level(or any) guff about jt

I obviously would prefer if he was playing, but most of these games right now are not terribly important. I'll be worried if we're still having issues in January

my man scored more in the 4th than anyone else did the entire game

Luka is ridiculous. 60 piece tonight (and he missed 6 free throws).

I’m a huge Luka fan, but I always feel violated cheering for someone from a Dallas sports team.

[thebacker]

fuck dallas and mark cuban


luka nice widdit tho

[Lenny the Fatface]

Great performance by Luka last night. I’m still getting a ‘James Harden, but white’ vibe from him though. He’s a little too shit on defense for me to put him in the MJ, LeBron, Kareem, Magic, Bird realm. Also like 3-4 things that last stretch went completely sideways for that game to turn out the way it did.

[BallDontLie]

I think it’s safe to say Dallas won that draft day trade though… Luka - Trae

I’m kind of rooting for a Jokic MVP 3 peat… pretty fun to watch.

[DaleSr]

Please Jesus don't give us the mavs in the first round anymore

funny enough, the last 60 point triple double was done by harden im pretty sure

[PatrickSkateman]

Heard Trae and Nate McMillan don’t see eye to eye.

[thebacker]

nate probably got tired of trae chucking

[69woodpusher69]

why are the pelicans getting like no press? seems like the media's darling story, bunch of underdogs are 1st or 2nd in the West all year pretty much and like no TV time?

ATL here and we are getting really tired of Trae chucking as well WTF

Everyone is too busy talking about this irrelevant Lakers team

I love that team so much, I’d love for them to come out of the west so we can see Zion in the finals

same bro, that's my hometown team. i love watching alvarado hit the GTA on these prima donna players lmao. fun team to watch, glad you're rooting for em!

[BallDontLie]

Scrappy team for sure… yet the Lakers dumpster fire (which I’m all here for for) gets more coverage.

[thebacker]

The most interesting thing/player about the lakers is Austin reaves. That dude has got some sauce

Besides Dejounte Murray who do the Hawks have? Trae should be getting 25 shots a game easily. I like De'Andre Hunter but I'm pretty sure he's been battling injuries.

Suns should've really drafted Luka.

[thebacker]

Donovan for 71

What the fuck

[Atiba Applebum]

Donovan for 71

What the fuck

One of my big what ifs is what if Klay had been allowed to play the fourth quarter after he scored like 60 through 3. 

[KBizzle]

Last night was insane, the NBA is in good hands.

Mitchell :71
Klay Thompson:  54
Demar Dorozan:  44
LeBron James: 43
Embiid: 42
Luka Doncic: 39

Can't wait until the Playoffs.

[PatrickSkateman]

As much as I love the league. I can’t picture anyone in today’s league going 48 minutes with Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn.

I can’t even think of anyone who could go word for word with The Glove.

I get what you're saying, but the old heads couldn't guard players of the league today. Between rule changes and evolution, it just wouldn't happen.

Bill Laimbeer not starting and barely may get off the bench in 2023.
