Arena The NBA Thread

Love the thinking of "well, I failed a drug test ... Let's declare for the NBA draft!"

 

LOL I thought that was great too.

 

Dunleavy!

 

timmoishere Tough break for Portland tonight, but I think they'll win game 4. Well, lets hope they can win game 4. Harden's offense has decided to waken up, and despite Houston's other limitations, he can be the (this thought not surprising in anyway of course) difference maker for the remainder of the series.


http://deadspin.com/donald-sterling-still-a-vicious-racist-according-to-tm-1567966769]A[/url] reminder: Donald Sterling is a despicable human being


Just how much longer is he going to be allowed to own the Clippers?

 

I wonder if he thinks he OWNS them owns them.

 

Given the circumstances & context, it's a reasonable assumption to make.

 

I apologize for the sudden back-to-back post here, but... http://www.ocregister.com/articles/lakers-611469-antoni-year.html]D'Antoni[/url] very likely to return to Lakers for the '14-'15 season. Elsewhere it's being reported that he wants his club option exercised for '15-'16.

 

If we're talking about the same league that allows Clay Bennett to still be an owner after screwing over an entire fan base after making false promises that he'd do everything to keep the team there, then move them to a smaller market, then cry about having to play in a smaller market and use that as his justification for being cheap and trading away his chance at a potential dynasty......then yeah, it's not surprising that Donald Sterling is still allowed to be an owner. He'll probably own the Clips until he dies.

 

Portland lost, but man that was a great game again.

What's going on in the first round games?

It has to do something with L.A., Boston, and N.Y. Not being in the playoffs.

 

Guys I'm thinking of buying a NASCAR track and then not inviting any white people.

 

I find it hilarious he doesn't want Magic Johnson at his game. He does realize if it wasn't for Magic(and Larry Bird....), he wouldn't be the owner of the LA Clippers.

 

I'd hope that at least a handful of players speak out.

 

What's lost in all this is that they're regarding TMZ as a real news source . . .

But if it is true, yeah . . . Stupid.

 

In spite of their reputation, TMZ does from time-to-time legitimately break stories.

NBA investigating Sterling tape; Jesse Jackson, others call for boycott.

 

VINSANITY! Wow.

Yeah Mavs! Now for the Grizz to keep handling business tonight!

 

Is there an NBA franchise in all of history with a more schizophrenic mix of spectacular success--three championships--and utterly infuriating losses--0.4, Manu's Foul, Ray Allen, this--in a ten year period? God.

 

THESE GAMES

 

Sad thing is, would this story have blown up the way it has (all the way up to the President commenting on it now), if the Clippers were the Clippers of old and being prennial locks for draft lottery picks instead of having a playoff game this afternoon?

Pre-game:


.



The players are also wearing black arm/wristbands during the game... all very nice, a good way to show their disgust & anger. However, you know what would have been nicer? A boycott. Sometimes something drastic should occur, and what would be more drastic than that?

 

If you're able to read this post right now, turn on the Clips-Warriors game.

It. is. amazing.

 

It's almost like the Clips are boycotting without boycotting!

PS - It should be noted that while the tapes are bad there, thus far, is not indication they are true. I personally think they are but until they are verified we should probably hold off on excoriating Sterling for this. Doing it for the previous decades of racism, though, is totally fine!

 

the way mark jackson manages fouls sometimes i think he's never seen a basketball game before.
