Yeah 8-31 was a massive hole, and I knew of all the injuries, Quickley just got back and is on limited minutes, I think this is the first time the last 2 games with their full rotation, all of a sudde

Cool - that's reasonable enough.  However, after seeing the G-League lineup they played last night, I think I better wait until the start of the next season to go...

It might be the most shocking trade I've ever seen. Superstar for superstar and it came out of absolutely nowhere.

Raps have an automatic loss on Wednesday vs GS with 2nd half of a B2B with Clevland meanwhile GS has 2 full days of rest. Kind of a dower since I want to see GS but it'll be a blowout.

 

Raps always play Golden State well. Wouldn't shock me if its a close game down to the final 2-3 minutes, though sucks with the way they set up the schedule which could definitely make it a blowout. Cleveland and then Golden State back to back! Who the f*** came up with that idea? They should be fired!

So LeBron James says he lost all respect for Phil Jackson after seeing an extremely critical (but seemingly true) interview where Jackson describes him using his star status to manipulate his teams to their detriment.

 

What he says he's upset about though is the use of the word 'posse' in the interview, which is apparently racist. He says to look up the word in the dictionary and that it isn't what he stands for. I was confused, so I went to dictionary.com and got this.

 

historical

a body of men, typically armed, summoned by a sheriff to enforce the law.

 

informal

a group of people who have a common characteristic, occupation, or purpose.

 

I hear the latter definition used in conversation on an irregular basis, but never in a derogatory way or in a way specific to African Americans. Can someone explain to me if this is actually offensive and why?

LeBron didn't even know what Watergate was.

It was Carmello Anthony who made the comments about it, not James.

 

""I just don't understand him talking about LeBron right now, in November. I don't understand that." It's hard to understand someone answering a question in a interview lol.

 

Anthony is a primadonna so I'm honestly not surprised.

 

"I would want to be called a tight-knit group or a family but that's what I consider those people to me.

 

I have yet to meet a single black person who would ever use that wording. He's so full of s***

LeBron was triggered by the word "posse." I guess the SJW's got to him!

Love Patterson but he's killed the team this year missing so many wide open 3s

 

Likewise. His defense can be valuable and he can be a really good rotation player, but he kills you on offense with how many easy shots he misses.

Holy f*** Nogueira is such a frustrating defender. He leaves his man wide open half the time, makes stupid fouls all the time, doesn't box out on rebounds (he has length which saves him sometimes). He has some talent but his basketball IQ is really poor.

You can tell how raw he is. He's improved a ton from last year though so I am hopeful for his future.

Lol, okay, nice call refs.

 

It's always the same thing against LeBron's team.

 

I'm not even watching the game because of that. You just know the Raptors will be at least -5 to -10 in foul calls when playing the cavs

Very entertaining game, regardless of the outcome. I don't know wtf the refs are doing these last 30 seconds though.

 

This post describes 75% of Raptors-Cavaliers games over the last two years.

 

Although I'd usually change "last 30 seconds" to "4th quarter".
