    Yep, I wanted to go at George, but I was also ok with our guys getting full punishment if they did it in an illegal way. It's pissing me off that Jokic doesn't even get called for a common foul when he does shit that is questionable at best.

    This needs to go right into @Natebishop3 "Why I hate the NBA" thread, so it can get a like from every forum member here.

    Pathetically, you are right. Now im gonna go puke for the second time in the last 48 hours.

    When the player lined up nearest the rim, he will most always use his weight or arms to block out aggressively. Go back and look at some of the block outs that Lucas used to give out. Loved it!

    I'm glad he said something. Not like one tweet is going to eliminate corruption in the league, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease and exposure forces transparency.

    The more this type of bullshit is exposed and out in the open, the more the onus is on the league to do something about it, or risk increasing suspicion of corruption, complicity or at very minimum complacency...

    I respect your opinion and agree some. Im just old school, where you don't make your beefs public but use other means to voice your grievance.

    You should never be afraid to stand up for yourself. You should never choose to avoid conflict over self worth. The only way to make change happen is to act. Those who remain quiet, remain ignored. That said, I respect your old school ways. I am part old school myself....part new school. It's a good mix

    Just don't like players or Trump whinning on tweeter.
    Now Trump saying the call at the K Derby was wrong on twitter.

    Comparing Kanter’s tweet with Trump’s is a bannable offense, IMO.

    Seriously though, the days of retaliation on the court in the NBA are long gone. You get suspended if you try that. I don’t mind Enes asking that the refs pay attention. Somebody should.

    Yeah one could actually end a guy's career. The other is just fucking stupid. I think we can figure out which/which

    No need to discuss this further.
    “Nope!”

    The point with Kanter and him making the tweet is it will get noticed. Same with Stotts commenting on it. It has been brought to their attention. If it happens again I would bet they will be watching and might call the foul.

    Well all I have to say to Trump is that todays race was kind of like the election. It took place on a muddy sloppy track and the one with the most votes didn't win.
