2018-19 NBA Thread

just because

 

Just make fists with your toes.

 

Jimmy Dolan agrees

 

Another Utah racist banned:

Utah Jazz issue second permanent ban on fan from 2018 playoff video that surfaced against Russell Westbrook

 

Another great read from a paper that's full of them these days:

Why one of the most noticeable Lakers season-ticket holders is happy with the team missing the playoffs

 

Jusuf Nurkic just broke his leg -- it's out there if you want to see it. Also, the ref who bumped his broken leg walking past needs to be reprimanded.

 

How do you not notice the seven footer with a broken leg lying in front of you? Jesus, that was amazing. And the Blazers are cursed.

And on an unrelated note, Devin Booker scored 59 points tonight and the Suns still lost to Utah by 33.

 

That ref can never work in Portland after that. They'll kill him. I get tuning out players who are crying for fouls on everything, but he had to be screaming in pain. And that ref didn't notice. Brutal.

Also everyone cleared the fuck out when he went down. Looked like the team suits who came to help him (not sure if they were coaches or docs) didn't seem like they were in a hurry to see that.

 

Just reading about this on Twitter. This doesn't sound good at all.

 

Bummer from simply an NBA fan (not a Blazer one). Seemed like a great guy that I’d want to play with.

 

First CJ and now this. I don’t know why this fanbase can’t have nice things. Oh and the ref doing what he did was simply the cherry on a sundae full of horrible officiating the entire night. I’m usually not for fans going psycho on refs - like Kentucky fans did a couple years ago - but fuck this guy. Man showed a complete lack of human decency.
