|
2690319, how do you feel about the Celtics being worse with Kyrie? Posted by ThaTruth, Tue Mar-12-19 09:10 AM
|
2690321, Great, since he has a ring and going to the HOF. Lonzo trash tho. Posted by Basaglia, Tue Mar-12-19 09:14 AM
|
2690323, Exactly, aren’t you setting the bar low comparing him to 2nd year... Posted by ThaTruth, Tue Mar-12-19 09:24 AM
players, one of them being a 27th pick?
|
2690326, Lonzo is third year at this point and still trash. he trash. trash trash Posted by Basaglia, Tue Mar-12-19 09:38 AM
|
2690336, he was drafted in 2017 and has played in 99 NBA games. Posted by ThaTruth, Tue Mar-12-19 10:07 AM
|
2690337, so, year three AND he's always injured? damn Posted by Basaglia, Tue Mar-12-19 10:17 AM
so, you fry BI for not improving (yet he upped his scoring and shooting percentages significantly) going into his third year and you ALWAYS party of kyrie for injuries....yet, i'm suppoosed to boo hoo your this bust you cop pleas for all the time?
yeah..,.he sorry
|
2690339, this IS Ingram's 3rd year and I expected him to do more than pad stats... Posted by ThaTruth, Tue Mar-12-19 10:21 AM
in a handful of late season losses
|
2690352, the hell you think kuz do? get timely buckets in big games? Posted by Basaglia, Tue Mar-12-19 10:49 AM
|
2690353, he plays up to his 27th pick, $1.9mil salary status. Posted by ThaTruth, Tue Mar-12-19 10:51 AM
|
2690361, so does Brandon. History proves it. Check progression of #2 picks Posted by Basaglia, Tue Mar-12-19 11:01 AM
historically, he's doing just fine. he two month older than lonzo and miles ahead of him. lonzo trash.
|
2690365, I'm still waiting on him to be PG, Kawhi or even Hayward. Posted by ThaTruth, Tue Mar-12-19 11:11 AM
|
2690376, Wait then...like you waited on those players Posted by Basaglia, Tue Mar-12-19 11:31 AM
|
2690378, To be fair to Ingram those guys were drafted lower by contenders... Posted by ThaTruth, Tue Mar-12-19 11:40 AM
and started off as role players and allowed to grow into their roles. Ingram was a #2 overall pick on a lottery team and basically given the keys from day one.
|
2690379, to be fair....ingram weighed 175 abd he couldn't help that. Posted by Basaglia, Tue Mar-12-19 11:42 AM

2690364, And I'm talking about both of YOU, unlike you 2 all of my posts aren't... Posted by ThaTruth, Tue Mar-12-19 11:07 AM
tied to an agenda.
|
2690369, Your AGENDA is the LAKERS, Homophobic Spirit of St. Louis. Posted by Basaglia, Tue Mar-12-19 11:13 AM
all you've done today is up a "celtics lose" post and create a diversion to avoid talking about magic FAILING, bron knowing he's made a mistake and lonzo being SORRY.
|
2690371, Yet this post had nothing to do with either team... Posted by ThaTruth, Tue Mar-12-19 11:17 AM
> >all you've done today is up a "celtics lose" post and create a >diversion to avoid talking about magic FAILING, bron knowing >he's made a mistake and lonzo being SORRY.
nobody was beating GS this year anyway. Magic pulled off them ultimate coup signing Bron, this summer he needs to add to that.

2690329, people are insane Posted by HecticHavoc, Tue Mar-12-19 09:43 AM
they think they can yell whatever bullshit they want to players with zero repercussions and then once a player actually has a HUMAN RESPONSE to it they freak out and try to say that fans pay their salaries so they should "suck it up" and take it.
i would LOOOOVE for this Utah idiot, who is a president of the DPS in Utah, to be working at his desk and have people walk in and start scream-shit-talking him around his coworkers and then have hundreds of people tell him to accept it bc tax dollars pay his salary.

2690340, Utah fans been known Posted by AtoZ 0toInfinity, Tue Mar-12-19 10:24 AM
Always been trash since before the Derek Fischer Cancer chants
and
While we at it, give New Orleans their name back aint no Jazz in Utah Bih

2690343, Saw the interview with the asshat fan this morning. Playing the victim. Posted by Beezo, Tue Mar-12-19 10:31 AM

2690342, RED, but Russ has gotta handle it better and - Posted by Case_One, Tue Mar-12-19 10:29 AM
get security to remove a disrespectful person. This is a new time, you don't have to take the BS, but you also don't have to be the one to take action unless someone puts hands on you - all bets are off.

2690344, ^^^ there's a reason they go at Russ Posted by bentagain, Tue Mar-12-19 10:36 AM
and it's not because he's Mr triple double
I blame the NBA
Shoulda stopped this at the kid that pushed him in the back
I don't blame Russ at all, but he gave dude the W of his life
I see a fox news special in his future
|
2690346, but I'm sure the Jazz players wish they wouldn't, a pissed off Russ... Posted by ThaTruth, Tue Mar-12-19 10:41 AM
is usually a handful on the court.
|
2690356, so then why did utah fans make fun of derek fisher's daughter's illness Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Tue Mar-12-19 10:53 AM
why did rodney hood when he played in utah, go at his own fans. they're racist pieces of shit. its not a russ issue.
|
2690359, I wish all the racists lived in Utah, that'd be easy to avoid Posted by bentagain, Tue Mar-12-19 10:57 AM
Point is, I know that, you know that...and Russ knows that
Shouting on fans courtside is W for them
There needs to be something players can do when they feel threatened
A shouting match ain't it.
|
2690370, so then why is this a frequent occurrence at jazz games Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Tue Mar-12-19 11:15 AM
hell boston has a rep for being a terrible crowd and you dont hear it about them this often. barely ever hear it about any other nba city.
|
2690373, how is this a W for the guy last night? Posted by Dstl1, Tue Mar-12-19 11:20 AM
Honestly asking. Right now, his whole racist curtain is being pulled back on social media. Twitter already tracked down the car dealership he works at and everything.
|

...about the Warriors playing in Utah.
Fitz actually attributes the lack of alcohol to the hostility at the stadium.
|
2690380, That the Jazz haven't said anything says more. Posted by B9, Tue Mar-12-19 11:51 AM
Can't disrupt their base by doing the obvious thing and banning the MAGA trash that started this. I hope, if anything, players make it known to one another what going there and playing for that fanbase basically means. End up with a whole team of 4Chandler Parsons that won't ever win a thing.

2690411, tend to believe the athlete in these situations Posted by pretentious username, Tue Mar-12-19 02:50 PM
The stars hear a lot of shit talk that they don't respond to, so it's usually pretty serious if they do respond. Whenever a visiting athlete says "Boston fans were yelling racist shit at me" 90% of the fanbase has a kneejerk reaction like "nah uh! someone woulda repohted it if they heahd the N-wohhd!" It's so fucking annoying, not to mention it very naively ignores the history of the city.
|
2690415, There are Jazz fans on Twitter backing up Russ's version of things Posted by B9, Tue Mar-12-19 03:35 PM
They apparently complained and asked for a refund because of this guy's behavior and things he was saying, and they handed him a yellow card or some crap but that's it.
|
2690416, I only hope Posted by Numba_33, Tue Mar-12-19 03:59 PM
that other fans don't try and pull this mess since it's known this will get under Westbrook's skin.
|
2690417, They banned his ass Posted by Beezo, Tue Mar-12-19 04:01 PM
https://twitter.com/shamscharania/status/1105571244160757760?s=21
|
2690418, And...done. Jazz banned the guy for life. Posted by B9, Tue Mar-12-19 04:02 PM
Color me shocked, but they actually did something. Now, hold for whatever counter-argument from non-NBA fan conservative America about Westbrook not getting "equal" punishment for something he didn't instigate. Trumpy needs this in his cycle about now.
|
2690421, I'm pretty sure Silver told Larry Miller "yellow cards" weren't enough. Posted by ThaTruth, Tue Mar-12-19 04:15 PM

2690446, What an absolute loser Posted by Marauder21, Tue Mar-12-19 08:46 PM
|
2690427, Only issue I have with it is that responding to assholes validates them Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Tue Mar-12-19 05:28 PM
Fans say shit that is way over the line all the time. The players absolutely *can* hear us in most sports and most venues, especially if you're decently close to the playing surface. I have zero issue with what Russ said to the guy and I don't even care what specifically the guy was saying to Russ. That said, the goals of these asshole fans are to one, get recognized, and two, throw you off your game in some way. Check and check. The best thing Russ could have done is acted like this asshole didn't exist and then drop 50 on Ricky Rubio's head. But I get why he responded and I don't blame him.
|
2690482, the thing is with Russ it usually doesn't throw him off his game... Posted by ThaTruth, Wed Mar-13-19 08:47 AM
it tends to fire him up and make him play better
|
2690489, yah, didn't throw him off, at all... Posted by Dstl1, Wed Mar-13-19 09:21 AM
he ended up with 23/11/8. One play, toward the end of the game, he blocked Gobert twice on the same possession. Later, he pulled up for a 26 foot "fuck you" three and on the following play, crossed Royce at the key and drove in for a layup to put the game out of reach.

2690464, Generally I agree with Westbrick, BUT... Posted by Selassie I God, Wed Mar-13-19 02:50 AM
it's funny how these incidents only seem to involve him. Is he the only NBA player that fans say foul things to? Is he the only one "man enough" to fire back?
I'd say fan 70% Westbrick 30%
|
2690490, wait, you side 70% with the fan... Posted by Dstl1, Wed Mar-13-19 09:22 AM
who told a grown man to get on his knees like he was used to? The fan who last year tweeted that Russ needed to "go back where he came from"? Am I reading that right?

2690503, i thought it was Posted by Selah, Wed Mar-13-19 10:00 AM
re: blame
70% fan 30% westbrook
i still think that 30% is hella high. there is nothing you could do on a basketball court that would justify "get on your knees like you are used to" from some randumb racist and his ugly wife

Agreed...but nothing justifies "fucking up his wife" either. Had he not said that, I'm at 90%/10%

You don’t know what she said

I don't need to know what she said. With the exception of her coming at him with deadly force, there is nothing OK about threatening to beat a woman down.
Nothing.

Threatening and doing it are two completely different things. He didn’t say anything directly to her he was talking to her punk ass man.
