Watching the Bucks.  It doesn't seem to me that Nwora adds much on either end of the floor.

He's horrendous. The good thing is he'll never play come Playoff time.

I was just confused to see him play 7 straight minutes. 

Could they get anything for Allen and Nwora?

You seem to forget 3 of their top 5 options at the 2/3 are out with injury.

You seem to forget 3 of their top 5 options at the 2/3 are out with injury a lot.

I realize that....but still.  That rook looked okay.

[MuggsyB]

Another boneheaded play by Nwora.  Lopez wide open at the top and he goes 1 on 3?  Smh.

Wolves stink

I thought they were supposed to be decent?

Anyhoo, putting the NBA back into the NBA Thread ...

The Warriors are flat-out lousy. On this road trip, they've lost to the Hornets and Magic, among others. Steve Kerr is at wit's end. Obviously, they miss Juan!

I mentioned that they Draymond punch of Poole would have a negative impact on. the Dubs.  My take is that defensively it has hurt him abd the team quite a bit because he can't play with the same edge....a.k.a. fouling and getting away with it.

This Beauchamp kid may be a player  in a year or so.  He has good size for a G and some skills.

A few days after Adidas dumped Kanye, Nike dumped Kyrie.

Nike has suspended its relationship with Kyrie Irving and canceled its plans to release his next signature shoe, the latest chapter in the ongoing fallout since the Brooklyn Nets guard tweeted a link to a film containing antisemitic material.

The shoe giant announced Friday night that it will halt its relationship with Irving, who has been suspended by the Nets for what the team called a repeated failure to "unequivocally say he has no antisemitic beliefs."

The Nets made that move Thursday, banning Irving without pay for at least five games, and a day later, Nike made its decision. Those actions followed widespread criticism — from, among many others, the Anti-Defamation League and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.

"At Nike, we believe there is no place for hate speech and we condemn any form of antisemitism," the Beaverton, Oregon-based company said. "To that end, we've made the decision to suspend our relationship with Kyrie Irving effective immediately and will no longer launch the Kyrie 8."

About time! The push back has to be loud and clear, especially from American Jews, hey?

  individually, they have some good talent, but together, they play like a$$ and they gave up A LOT for gobert

what's he supposed to say now?  umm, yeah...and i'm sorry if i offended anyone??  seems like kyrie's got some deep seated beliefs that all the apologies in the world plus $500k won't make this go away.  what's next?  take a class??  make him write 500 times, jewish peeps ain't all that bad?  make a few jewish friends??  marry a jewish lady?  i think he just Fu**ed his self and ain't getting any calls in the morning.  hope he saved well

4ever & rocket:

I sincerely am heartened to hear that, from this point forward, Scoop's two doctors of dental surgery will reject and condemn any celebrity, athlete, politician or  businessperson who has said and/or done anti-Semitic things, who has pushed anti-Semitic tropes, who has uttered anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, and/or who has welcomed support from anti-Semitic groups and people.

That's a long list, and based on those you've supported in the past, it would represent quite a change of heart for you.

Either that ... or you'll just use this newfound public outrage of yours to rip the few famous Black and/or Muslim people who have said anti-Semitic things. They deserve ripping, but they are far from the only ones on the list.

[4everwarriors]

Nads,
I've never wavered from this my entire life. But, until Jews, themselves, rise up and push back, nothing will change, nothing. That also means not supporting known anti-Semitic politicians, like the squad and Barnes, hey?

Wemby apparently went to work last night.

Why?  There are fine people on both sides, hey?

Well, Doc, your voting record suggests that you've wavered some ... but I'd rather avoid a Scoopspension so I'll end it here.

How 'bout that NBA, eh? It's been nice to see the level of condemnation of Kyrie's remarks. A lot of great leaders associated with the league.

[4everwarriors]

Actually, I disagree with your assessment of Trump as an anti-Semite. His history is quite the opposite. You should study it, hey?

[Jockey]

Is Kyrie's time in the NBA over?

Sources: Nets have delivered Kyrie Irving six items he must complete to return to team:
- Apologize/condemn movie
- $500K donation to anti-hate causes
- Sensitivity training
- Antisemitic training
- Meet with ADL, Jewish leaders
- Meet with Joe Tsai to demonstrate understanding

Well Petrocelli, give me an example of his anti-semitism, hey?

PMed you, because I don't want to get a Scoopcation the day before our season opener.
