Notice The Return of the NBA

[KSF-ERIC]

Agreed, like I have said in previous posts, none of the teams competing with us for the 8th seed have made the improvements that we have made, they are all for the most part the same as they were before the stoppage. So to think any of them will do better than .500 isn't very logical because the level of competition has gone up and those teams weren't even .500 coming into the restart. However, compared to everyone else in this restart the Pels next 5 games do constitute a cupcake schedule, all of them being against teams under .500.

There's a joke about Zion and cupcakes but I can't land it.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

The problem moreso for us is our remaining schedule is absolutely insane.

We're not playing #1 seeds like Bucks and Lakers. Nor are we playing champions like the Raptors. I'm not scared of teams like Rockets, Mavs, Celtics, blah blah blah. Playoff teams, yes, but most of the teams in Orlando are. Even with the Clippers, our roster is their nightmare and not the other way around.

That's racist.

I mean seriously, it's annoying that players have to defend themselves if they choose not to kneel. It's his right to stand just like it's the other players' right to kneel.

Agree completely. Just like no one should ever have had to explain themselves for kneeling, no one should have to for standing either.

Personally i don't see the need for the National Anthem being played at all before a game. But that's just me. Sports are entertainment to me.

Agreed. but if one does explain why, and it's hokey, it makes sense that people will be critical of it.

 

[julius]

That's racist.

Green font?

 

[Orion Bailey]

Green font?

According to some around here it could very well be racist.

but yes. When labeling something like that i suppose i should be clear im joking.

So twigs are racist but cupcakes aren't? Can you get me a list of inanimate objects with their correlation?

Don't mention "Cotton".

I guess I missed that part of the story. I mean, if we can't make fun of Felton for eating the entire teams cupcakes before, after and during the games, I'm not sure I have reason to live anymore.

I wouldn't put much into it lol. Just trying to get the x’s and o’s of what is and isnt a racist comment since he is the judge and jury on it after he labeled rastas comment racist aBout bol bol being a bundle of twigs(skinny, was the intent)

[Orion Bailey]

He said the same to me after I commented I don't like CJ's new 'do any more than I care for man buns on a white dude. He chickened out on explaining how that is racist. Some people just feel better about themselves when casting accusations.

I was talking about Zion eating cupcakes. Not looking like one.

Jonathan Isaac went down with a left knee injury that looked pretty bad. He had to be carted off the court in a wheelchair and had already been wearing a pretty big brace on that knee. Hope he's alright. Also please refrain from any crass comments about him standing for the anthem.

 

[Chris Craig]

And we are supposed to beat the Rockets? They beat Dallas. Beating Milwaukee

You jinxed us

 

[Chris Craig]

Cotton candy is delicious

 

[e_blazer]

Yes. We are supposed to beat them.

 

[Stumptown1970]

Wow! Jonathan Issac

So Zion looked like he's been eating cupcakes.

 

[handiman]

Weird stat, "home" and "away" teams were the expected 3-3 the first day, but the home teams have gone 9-2 the two days since.

[BigGameDamian]

Zion looks like he's been into the cupcakes.

 

[illmatic99]

Need Philly to take care of the Spurs here.

 

[Labinot41]

Of course these old spurs became all of sudden a threat

 

[Labinot41]

Grizzlys suck, how did they get that 8seed
