Around the NBA - the 2020 Playoff Edition!

You ever thought about spending time on the Mavs forum.

Nice of you to visit from the Lakers forum

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Luka would not have had the opportunity to apologize

What would Luka have said that was equivalent to "White Boy" MM?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

That's what you get for dissing Dame

 

[Natebishop3]

Is it weird to hate a franchise that hasn't won anything ever and has historically been the heel of the league?

I think it's because they have been the whiniest team in the league since Doc Rivers took over.

Bitch ass black boy. There would be outrage, IMHO, and rightfully so

Can you imagine if he just said "Boy"? WTF are you even driving at here?

He's trying to get MM to say the N word, and then say that calling someone a white boy isn't nearly as bad as the N word.

Those two are NOT actually equivalent. The fact that you and millions of others in this country think this way is the very reason for protests all over.

Man I’m just enjoying a legendary player. I literally watch as much basketball as I can I love the sport. Luka is amazing fam

There is no equivalent to "white boy". "White boy" means, essentially, pampered brat. There's no black equivalent.

Not defending Harrell - he absolutely shouldn't've said it, and absolutely needed to apologize, but all this pearl clutching implying it's as bad as the N-word is bullshit.

EDIT: Black people out here coopting white culture:

Actually I think you tried to bait him into that and he didn't fall for it

 

[Wade Garrett]

TNT announcers....UGH..
What happened to Kevin Haarland and Marv? (marv prolly too old for bubble)
I don't think i can take any more Chris Webber....

 

[Cugel]

So much for Brett Brown. Someone had to take the fall.

 

[Hoopguru]

Houston lives and dies by the three.

 

[tlongII]

OKC just defended home court is all.

Trash coach

Which would be correct

 

[Hoopguru]

Whites and Blacks both should tamper derogatory names. I spent years teaching & coaching my kids to be very careful with derogatory names and comments. To communicate with others with respect. My kids are all grown now and Im grateful that our upbringing and teachings had paid off Big time and they are raising their kids same.
Teaching does make a difference.

Pacers with only THREE bench points compared to the Heat's 36.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Nate McMillan or Tarry Stotts?

 

[Natebishop3]

Nate McMillan or Tarry Stotts?

Nayt MickMillan or Teary Stawts?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Justin Holiday is trash. Just standing around in a close game with the ball coming right to him and he doesn't even try to get it. And that's game. Terrible.

 

[LayneStaley]

Dame and Jimmy on the same team would be insane.

 

[kjironman1]

Man the Clippers tryna put 50 point loss on the Mavs.
Wow!

 

[kjironman1]

This is exactly what i thought was going to happen. You have three sweeps and a probably 4-1 win in the East.
The West is looking at one 4-1 sweep if the Blazers cannot take another game and now you have three other series's going 6 games or better.

The West Champion will not be able to compete by the time the Finals come around. This years Championship will go to the East is my bet.

 

[illmatic99]

Dirty POS

 

[kjironman1]

I don't know??? He didn't react like it was intentional. Get an angle that shows what he was looking at.

What's a 4-1 sweep?

A gentleman's sweep
