...this has me thinking, what if the entire arena was chanting something like "ICE YOUR KNEES" in perfect unison while Westbrook is at the line?! :dunno:

Apparently the guy told Westbrook, "Kneel like your used to" I thought he was just calling Westbrook a bitch, but I guess it was meant as being racist.

Anyone watching the Brooklyn/OKC game with me? Important game for both teams and us.

Nah...this run just basically ended it. Brooklyn's done for the night.
 
Damn and OKC plays Indiana tommorow. Another win. They will be 2 games ahead. This is what I was talking about. The Blazers have put themselves in a hard spot playing catch up. They could be ahead now. Oh well.

Indiana's still good. Plus, OKC's schedule is much harder than ours going forward. Right now we're even in the loss column. Blazers just need to take care of business in their own games and they'll finish ahead of OKC. Possibly even Denver too. Houston however...no chance.

Indiana is very good. Don’t bet on an OKC win. Blazers have put us in a bad spot? They’ve won 6 of their past 8 road games. They’re playing great. Can’t win them all. Lots of games left. If OKC loses tomorrow, we’re 4th. 41-26 is better than 42-27.
 
So do we want GS to beat OKC and Houston? If GS were to lose and we win our next two games, we would only be 2.5 games behind GS. I'm not sure what I want here.
 
I wonder if #1 through #5 will be separated by just 1 or 2 games at end of season.
 
So incredible to think that Houston, after their start, could get the #1 seed again.
 
Trae Young threw one of the greatest lobs I have ever seen tonite: he wasnt even over half court when he put it up and it was right on the money. He can make a strong case for ROTY but I think there has been too much hype to overtake Luka in the race.

Both damn good players, but any "hype" Doncic is getting is well deserved.

Not sold on Indiana minus Oladipo

Luka is one of the best clutch shooters in the league, and a rookie. Mind boggling...

I don't see anything racially driven here.

Fan is short for fanatic.

I think what Russ said was over the top. There was an eloquent way to clown that moron and Russ should've found it. He had a chance to own the narrative and didn't take advantage of that chance.

The fact is, regardless of what anyone says, black people represent our entire race wherever we go. How one of us acts is a reflection on us as a whole. Russ made us (black folk) look bad IMHO.

How the guy can call Westbrook classless after he said something to him that employed so little class IMO is asinine.

Im curious, do you think the guy knew the racial undertone within what he said? Probably, but I'm wondering if he made it as some sort of sexual reference and was ignorant about the racist undertone included with it. As I admitted, I didnt realize it the first time I read it, I just thought it was sexually-related.

I doubt he knew/thought that their were any racial undertones.
I'm with you thinking the comment was a poor reference to a sexual act.
