    watch this get blown out proportion b/c Karl is a white man talking about two black players when he's just saying what everyone else has been saying over the past decade

    You're ok with a white man once again using the narrative that a black man who doesn't have a father is weak? Ironic he said that ? as Melos dad died when he was 2 to liver cancer. George Karl has lost every where he's went. Had the audacity to throw that posse ? like we don't know what that really means coming from them.

    Where does karl specifically say this? he never said this

    Black people be the the 1st with the fatherless jokes about other black folks but let whitey say anything close to that then the faux outrage starts.

    Same thing when ? clappin ? it's accepted but let a cop do it then everybody mad FOH wit that hypocrisy

    ? ? ? n the ? gets justice, cop kills ? and that cop gets vacation time, big difference

    No they don't.There's thousands of homicide cases where black males were the victims that are unsolved.I knew people personally who were killed and no charges.There's a situation where people KNOW who killed a dude and never talked to authorities cuz they're scared.

    and that's besides the point in most cases charges are brought up,but there isn't the same outrage when communities are getting destroyed by their own people on a regular basis compared to a cop shootings that happen 500-1000x a year.That's the hypocrisy I'm talkin about

    George Karl just trying to sell books.

    To me, nothing he said was wrong except the line about fathers and not being a man.

    Kenyon Martin and Melo in 2016 are fathers with kids. You dont cross that line.

    Other then that though, my mans just trying to get some numbers and eat.

    There are unsolved cases true, but as we've seen its more likely the cop gets off for killin one of us than one of us does, that shouldnt b the case. I don't think anyone is excusing blacks doin harm to blacks but we can't act like there isn't reason for outrage and like everyone is being hypocritical

    Yes cops usually get off cuz they lie,manipulate evidence/the law and flex their authority in any situation but

    we'll just agree to disagree no need to turn this into cnn open forum

    Next year I think the bucks gonna be a problem(3-5 seed) that's a young team they just need to learn how to become consistent.Greak freak 22,jabari 21 this is their 4th and 3rd years in the nba.Both ascending gradually,that Middleton injury derailed their ceiling for this season but they got a core with solid complimentary pieces(teletovic,delladova,brogdon,henson,vaughn).If they can get rid of monroe(he has an opt out next summer) and replace him with bogut they'd be a serious problem.They'd have to trade plumlee to do that tho.Don't know why they re-signed plumlee they got too much dough tied up at the 5 position

    Getting rid of Monroe would b good but I hear his defense improved plus he's a good bench option anyway so scoring doesn't drop off when the starters sit if he's getting time plumlee gotta go regardless tho imo

    Bogut didnt leave Milwaukee on the greatest terms but if they could get him that would be a good look, they would basically be replacing what they lost with Pachulia except Bogut is better(if he can stay healthy)

    the timberwolves finally won 2 consecutive games

    ive never seen a team manage to pull out to a big lead and blow it so many times in a season

    theyve shown a lot of potential especially on the offensive end and theyve had small flashes of defensive brilliance but each opposing team seems to smell blood as soon as the wolves players get comfortable or tired (on the low a contributing factor)

    the fact that the world champions are addressing them like this tells you something

    I don't know if it was intentional or sub consciously but kyrie said 4 games lol, but in about 2 years they're not gonna want to face the bucks at all.

    I said bogut cuz he's a great passer for a big, good rim protector,sets them illegal screens and don't need the ball.Asik solid but not as versatile but unless monroe opts out and they move that plumlee contract it's a moot point

    Dallas regretting bogut because of his health

    Do any of you think Cousins will get traded this season? I think Sacramento would be silly to not try and trade him because next season teams will low ball them due to him being on the last year of his deal.

    Nah unless they go in a free fall kings just opened a new arena cousins all they got you can't sell fans on coming out to watch jaylen brown and marcus smart (hypothetically).The west weak this year kings hangin around that 8 spot so they'll try to make the playoffs.I agree wit the bolded tho

    edit wit the new cba catered to teams keeping their stars kings may just re-sign him.Don't know if cousins will turn down 6 years 200 mil
    They definitely did I was just telling my homies the blazers are having the season I thought they would last year. Idk what they were doing with those offseason moves either

    I thought they should of re-signed crabbe and harkless the turner move made no sense at all
