    What's really impressive is that 80% of that list grew up in The HCP's neighborhood. #NEP

    For the sake of argument, let's say Cuban's taunting and mix tape comments were aimed at black culture. Is that a bad thing? It's no more racist to make an observation than it is to take offense to the intent of it. Cuban is in a position that very few of us are, having a financial stake in finding the right basketball talent. If he believes the major pipeline for that talent isn't developing to its full potential, why not comment on it?

    Sigh. This is the same ailly ass argument you've tried to say to me before. I can judge intent as accurately as you. Maybe you're inclined to assume someone has racist intent due to what you've dealt with. We're judging the context of a statement about taunting and mixtapes.

    Because all racism should be stamped out. We're not even different races...

    Racism is man's gravest threat to man--the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason.

    And this is the same silly ass argument you came with before.

    Again, why don't they have you or I give basketball analysis at an NBA level?

    Because those jobs are given to people who actually played/coached NBA basketball.

    And I've also given credence to that argument by saying that if I see a helicopter in a tree, I might not be able to fly it, but I know the pilot fucked up.

    In this scenario, it's like some walk around with justification blinders.

    That's a non-response. But I think you know that, or you would have come back with your usual fury.

    Doncic about to get Carlisle fired. Had Luka at midcourt for the final play while Dennis Smith one on one vs Anthony Davis and didnt even get a shot off on time.

    Luka was pissed.

    Apparently he used Stotts playbook there.
    Give it to the PG & let them iso. At least Dame can get a (poor) shot off.

    Toronto got blown out by Orlando. Does that mean they’re not a good team? That’s what people said about us after losing to Jazz.
