Pay the mofo off and get rid of him. He's a bad role model and we already have too many of those. Of course, Silver has no balls, aina?

[withoutbias]

It's funny seeing the reaction from the pro gun crowd here. Shouldn't we celebrate this?

But it's a rich, successful black male. So, not okay for him.

But yay guns! Give us more! 2nd amendment rights!

Going 'Oh Nuts' when seeing Ja Morant

[Jockey]

I didn't realize you knew all of these players personally.  How would you know what kind of people they are or were for that matter?  There weren't great people in the NBA before now because the NBA "develops" them?  Also, doing something really dumb (twice) doesn't necessarily make you a bad person.  As far as a 25 game suspension or more?  I suppose it's possible to set some precedent.  Of course Draymond Green assaulted a fellow player and the NBA and GS did nothing.

Do you even attempt to read the posts you respond to? Not just mine, but you do it all of the time.

Don't be like Wades or Hards and make stuff up just so you have something to argue against.

Sounds like the common denominator is your posts that are easily picked apart with logic and you don't like that so you claim people make things up.

Okay.....that's an interesting take.

Logic is you saying " So are you putting Chauncey Billups ahead of Kevin Durant on your all time player list or...?"

So yeah. You hit the nail on the head. I have repeatedly said Billups is greater than Durant.

Quit embarrassing yourself and read what you wrote before you tap 'Post'.

You: Durant is a top 15 player of all time.

You: Durant isn't good enough to lead a team to a title.

Thus: Chauncey must be top 15 all time, since he was good enough to lead a team to a title.

What's missing here? Well, besides the fact that you claimed KD has only one title, and the fact that KD has 2 Finals MVPs. And the idea that there are fewer than 15 players in the history of the sport that are good enough to lead a team to a title. So logic is missing. But it's on your end. I'm just exposing the clear holes in your arguments. And it is very easy to do that.

You need to twist yourself into pretzels to make your arguments fit. Did you ever say that Chauncey was a top 15 player ever? No, you never posted those words. But does your logic leave that conclusion? Yup. If KD isn't good enough to lead a team to a title (words you've posted), but Chauncey was good enough to lead a team to a title (just a fact), then your logic says Chauncey is better than KD, and a top 15 player ever.

How many posts are you gonna have about Morant? This is right in your wheelhouse when a black athlete does something bad.

Shocked 4evrer is an anti 2A gun grabber.

[MuggsyB]

Excellent start for Philly.  There have been about 3 fouls called on Tatum's drives while the refs won't call the same fouls on Horford vs Embiid. 

[MU82]

Was Morant in an open-carry state when he was filmed with the gun? If the answer to is yes, then he apparently did nothing illegal. And if that's the case, why would that upset anybody who supports the 2nd Amendment?

Ted Nugent said he wanted to stick a gun in Obama's mouth and pull the trigger, and he was cheered.

That's different.

Really stupid play by Harden. 

[MuggsyB]

Doc needs to sit Harden and get on his ass.

I'm neither pro-gun, nor an "its all fun and games until a minority does it" but thats not exactly a fair comp.  Nothing about Ja and guns has been responsible or safe gun ownership.  Its not like he posted a picture with a collection in his house or with a buddy at a gun range.  Beyond that, his employer literally told him to stop being stupid with guns in public/social media.  Its not different than being a complete moron if your employer told you stop driving fast/recklessly/racing in sports cars and you go on IG live drag racing your Lambo down the street.

There are certainly plenty of bad faith/racially charged takes on Ja, but "how can you support gun ownership and criticize Morant's actions" is just a fallacy.

Ive been on record here expressing my enjoyment of Ja as a player and complimenting his fairly frequent and unprompted fan outreach, but he's gotten pretty indefensible with this BS.  He's a poser and acting like an entitled dipshit and has an absolutely braindead group of friends.  If your buddy has a 9 figure contract and is your sole access to the high life, how do you let him F that up by being a moron?!  Terrible self preservation

[MuggsyB]

Not sure why Doc has Melton guarding Tatum. 

[Pakuni]

Marcus Smart's flops make Neymar blush.

[MuggsyB]

Marcus Smart's flops make Neymar blush.

And he complained after not getting the call!

[MuggsyB]

Give Tatum a ton of credit after his 4Q on Fri and his first half today.  That said Melton guarded him essentially one on one for like 10 straight possessions.  What in tbe world is Doc thinking?  I agree with Mark Jackson that Doc has to get the ball out of his hands.

Blue, black, green, or red doesn't matter. This has nothing to do with race and quit trying to bait me with your agenda. An idiot is an idiot, aina?

Maybe ja just lives near dentists so he needs to be protected.

Definitely

[The Sultan]

Tatum is just feasting on Embiid.

[MuggsyB]

What is Doc thinking??  Get the ball out of his hands.
