He did today, but yeah, it took an unusually long time.

Kind of like how you and Rico are against all evangelical Christians.

Unk is very good at speaking for himself, but please provide proof that I am "against all evangelical Christians."

Thanks!

[MuggsyB]

Did anyone catch that Tyler Herro clear walk to win the game last night?  The NBA has to-do something about traveling and that "side-step" garbage.

Really disappointed in Silver. Thought he had the stones to crack the whip, particularly after the Sterling debacle and the quick, decisive action he took there. But, he's likely just another money whore letting the inmates run the asylum, hey?

Always a great phrase to use.

[Uncle Rico]

Always a great phrase to use.

He's right, though, about his general point.  Silver should have stepped in more forcefully

[Hards Alumni]

I'd have said the other is more problematic by a large margin.

[MuggsyB]

Somewhat lost in this discussion is that Amazon is still selling the book and movie Kyrie pimped and apparently sales are blowing up.  I also heard that the FBI is saying there have been credible threats against New Jersey Synagogues.

Amazon also sells Mein Kampf.  Banning the material only drives it underground, and reduces the discussion around the merits of the material.

Keep it in the light and continue to deride the content.

I didn't  realize that but they also have not sold certain books for whatever reasons.

For the record, I'm offended today is Friday.

[wadesworld]

I'm very happy today is Friday.

Fascist, MAGA lover.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

The Nets have suspended Kyrie for 5 games.

Why can't we do the same for politicians?

Look in the Jerry Lewis thread

Rico joked: "Lived the dream of most evangelical Christians by marrying his underage cousin, having two kids with her and then divorcing her and getting married two more times."

I responded: "Amen."

That is your proof that I am "against all evangelical Christians," counselor?

Well then ... you saying that is proof that you are against all Jews who attended Marquette, obviously.

Yes. that is considered hate speech and defamatory. But feel free to make fun of other religious groups.

Riiiight. You made an accusation, you were wrong. It happens.

But I will look forward to you calling out every instance of what you perceive to be "hate speech" on this forum from now on. I'll have to get that popcorn-eating gif handy for when you do.

[MU82]

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!

Their 2nd line team and their defense have been atrocious.

Maybe they are gunning for Wembanyama so they can win titles for the next 5 years.

Actually, you are wrong. You are the one who agreed with a bigot. That makes you a bigot.

What's the difference between an atheist and an evangelical Christian?

The atheist is honest about not following the teachings of Christ.

100%. Well said. (Hope this didn't come across as too angry)

[MuggsyB]

DeRozan doesn't really get the credit he deserves.  It's unfortunate I never had his mid-range game....or size.
