    So the Celtics signed Tacko Fall to a two way contract which means he'll spend a big chunk of time in Maine. Guess who lives in Maine less than an hour away from where the Red Claws play?

    Tacko Fall?

    I love to have a Tacko Fall in my mouth

  • DirtyboyDirtyboy Registered User regular
    If Tacko Fall's agent doesn't get him some kind of taco endorsement he should be fired.

    In an entirely unforeseeable turn of events, China has realized you can't copy the NBA like they do every other product, and with no fanfare, Tencent has quietly resumed streaming NBA preseason games after claiming they would stop.

    lebron's statement on china and morey today was insanely disappointing.
    Yes, we all do have freedom of speech, but at times there are ramifications for the negative that can happen when you're not thinking about others, and you're only thinking about yourself
    plz mr morey stop talking about hong kong or china might not watch space jam 2.

    Lebron's statement fucking sucks ass in every way

    Also, I can't help but look at some of the suddenly vocal defenders of human rights and wonder what their reaction would be if instead of China, what if, and just to pull a completely random example out of the blue here, what if it was an American corporation blackballing an athlete for speaking out against, let's say, police violence in the United States?

    In conclusion, fuck LeBron's weak bullshit, and double fuck every single one of the "muh free speech" Ted Cruz motherfuckers who are happy to condemn police brutality and state violence an ocean away while ignoring what happens in their back yard.

    Yes, because supporting Hong Kong is totally Morey thinking only of himself and not others and oh god my brain

    "We all talk about this freedom of speech. Yes we all do have freedom of speech. But at times there are ramifications for the negative that can happen when you're not thinking about others -- when you only think about yourself. I don't want to get into a word feud with Daryl Morey, but I believe he wasn't educated on the situation at hand, and he spoke. So many people could have been harmed, not only financially but also physically, emotionally, spiritually, so be careful what we tweet, what we say, what we do, even though yes, we do have freedom of speech, but there can be a lot of negative that comes from it."

    What a shock, the guy who wears a wish.com logo on his jersey has a shitty opinion on China.

    Rich people gonna be rich people.

    Lebron is one of the better ones but if he was truly a paragon of good, he wouldn't horde the half a billion plus dollars he's worth in the first place.

    I’m still miffed

    Lebron to rest of NBA: shut up and dribble

    Could at least told Morey to talk to KD about setting up alt accounts for this stuff

    It's sad but LeBron has been a celebrity since he was 15. We shouldn't be surprised at his plutocratic tendencies.

    LeBron is finally better than MJ at something.

    not feeling it.

    black and white is for the nets and the spurs. the number font also looks way out of place compared to the hyper stylized city text. they're not terrible but they could do better.

    i mean, not a shocker.

    whatever i went to the sixers preseason game last night and i'm 100% on the matisse thybulle train. that dude is so fun to watch play defense, if you told me he could see one second into the future i wouldn't be surprised.

    Zion will be out for "weeks" with a knee injury

    that's a bummer, wanted to see him play. his knees are going to be the eternal question though with how heavy he is combined with his athleticism and playstyle.

    Nobody turns down their first max and he averaged 19.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists in the Finals. He's worth it

    Zion out 6-8 weeks after surgery and now is trending on Twitter as people are calling him Greg Oden...

  • Raijin QuickfootRaijin Quickfoot I'm your Huckleberry YOU'RE NO DAISYRegistered User, ClubPA regular
    I'm not saying he's Greg Oden but I don't think there is a chance he ever lives up to the hype. Not even close.

    Forcing me to watch Kyle Lowry flopping all across the earth like a fish out of water in the first nba game of the season was not fun.

    Dude is one of the most anti-fun basketball players. At least harden does impressive things when he’s not flopping.

    "One of our best values here in America is free speech,” O’Neal said on TNT. “We're allowed to say what we want to say, and we’re allowed to speak out on injustices, and that's just how it goes. And if people don’t understand that, that’s something they have to deal with.”

    “Daryl Morey was right,” O’Neal said. “Whenever you see something wrong going on anywhere in the world, you should have the right to say 'that's not right' and that's what he did.”

    and this is why Shaq is the true GOAT

    Kyrie drops 50 and they lose by 2. Expect to see a lot of that until Durant comes back.

    the nets court looks like they have some sort of selective color filter running. it's so weird.

    Luka was really impressive first game back, even if it was against the Wizards.
