    you chose to write something, you live with the response to it. this isn't your blog, and saying that you're sorry doesn't have any kind of magical effect.

    staying on topic, lebron james has done nothing to my knowledge, at any point in his career, that is deserving of being called a "thug." i don't like the racial connotations of that term for anyone, really, but assuming that you're implying that he is prone to unsportsmanlike behavior, I disagree.

    Whatever else LeBron may be, he’s not a thug or a bad sport. Literally the worst thing he’s done in his NBA career is change teams.

    Don’t blame Paul for reacting like he did, spitting in someone’s face is repulsive.

    Ha ha ha.

    I’ve enjoyed it so far. I always enjoy watching Kemba and Lowry battle.

    Being able to watch Kawhi up close has been a ton of fun so far.

    Yep, that’s fair. Congratulations on the win. The Raptors outplayed the Hornets.

    The Raptors look great. I hope they win it all tbh

    Or even just 70+ games and then lose the Finals, then they'll get KD

    I mean, as losses go, it was an interesting/fun-ish game to watch (in particular: Kuzma & McGee, and some LeBron moments), but yeah, the result obviously stinks.

    kind of at this odd point of "it's still early, and the Cavs are only 0-3, plenty of time to turn it around" and "damn, we got blown out the Hawks, let's lose enough to make sure we keep our pick"

    Sirs, I was wondering, did you catch the professional basketball contest between the Pistons of Detroit and the Seventy-Sixers of Philadelphia? Oh, it was most exhilarating. In the end the Pistons triumphed in overtime when Blake of Griffin made a layup with what is referred to as an "and one". An "and one" is a "free throw" given to a player fouled in the process of making a field goal (not to be confused with a field goal in professional football, which is kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a big H). It was a most ripping victory.

    No but **** you Joel Embiid. **** you, **** you, **** you. Andre got a BS tech+ejection after an Embiid acting job, and Embiid taunted the crowd afterward. Die Embiid, and go to Hell.

    Griffin got 50, the first Piston to get 50 since Rip in 06.

    I kinda love Griffin right now. Not just because he's been playing great, but because he's taken over as leader of the team, which we sorely needed. He's really intense and in everyone's face. Love the passion. I've been waiting for Andre to step up as the next Big Ben, but it hasn't happened. Andre doesn't have that kind of personality, he's too laid back. Would still like him to be the anchor of next great Pistons defense, though. Reggie Jackson is a closer, but he's...too goofy to be a leader.

    Reggie Jackson still has the moves. Had a killer between the legs on Covington, and a killer pump fake that made someone go flying by in overtime. We need him to stay healthy.

    Also **** you Embiid, who got clowned by Blake on his game winning and one, and who also missed the game's final shot.

    Great game, though.
