    To be clear, I'm disappointed in everything AB right now. Brooks is letting a little adversity affect his play and it's hurting the team. I think he needs to suck it up and be a proffesional. The only person he's hurting in the long run is himself.

    Well Ben Gordon sure, but the other two aren't even African-American :confused:






    *I know Gordon was born in the UK*

    So we are now holding NBA players to the same standard to the ballers playing pickup at the local rec center?

    Getting hit in the nose is getting hit in the nose....people are people.

    Agree, especially in the context of him forcing the issue...he needs to man up, if he wants the job back....take it, Lowry is not exactly lighting the world on fire with 11pts and 6 assists while shooting only 41%....the job is wide open if AB wants it.

    Too many to list, and it should not be me listing them.

    Truth is none of us will know if Love did it on purpose. Just because he played it cool by trying to calm AB down does not mean he didn't do it on purpose.

    I think he threw his arms out on purpose to sell the foul and made a mistake and hit Brooks. Can see why both felt the way they did.

    It is a natural movement. It's your body's way of breaking your landing/fall. If he had not jumped and then brought it down, then it would be more suspicious, but he was jumping and going forward. The body's natural reaction is to steady itself with your arms. Could he have brought his arm down harder than needed? Could he have aimed at Brooks' face? I guess so, but it's not as bad as it seems. Just look at our bench, everyone saw it and didn't react.

    I felt the flail was totally intentional and out of control. Love didn't care who got hit with what...as long as he flailed like a man with six arms. Good for AB for responding to it...cause when the opposing player is doing crap like that...he deserves something in kind. Who would want some idiot to act like it wasn't intentional when he flailed away like that? Oh...I guess AB was just in his way. The fact is the foul was clearly already called...and this Love panzy is flailing about like an idiot.

    Nice one, AB! Don't take the crap from noone! The guy totally clocks AB and acts like he is innocent in the matter. I guess flailing idiots deserve a pass? Not in my and AB's book!

    yeah i think that "W" threw everyone off, even the players, especially since AB is from the west coast. Hill's expression is priceless...but after he signaled "L", i think they got it and just shrugged it off as silly.

    Lol he knew better than to do ANYTHING else besides throwing a ball...

    He might as well have thrown popcorn at him..

    "take that, take that, take that."

    DD, please video tape yourself jumping in the air forward and keep your arms up, straight up. After you throw your back out from crushing some discs, come tell me that you disagree and post the video for laughs. It's science, not an opinion for you to disagree with.

    However, I'm fine with brooks' reaction. From his point of view i can see how he would think it was intentional. Being a small guy, he's more likely to react by throwing theball than getting in a shoving match. It's a way to react and still protect himself.

    Great gif! Look at the faces at the players on the bench. Did we win?
    All business with Hayes, Lee, Patterson and even Hill!

    You seen him point the L to someone in the crowd?

    W's for Win
    L for Loss

    Glad the gif was posted since someone was laughing earlier at the thought of someone saying the "W" was for win.

    Nobody said it explicitly but it was there.

    Some people have been so indoctrinated by what they see on T.V. that they don't even realize that they are doing it.

    But when you are on the receiving end of it...every..single..day...it is VERY easy to spot.

    Take my word for it.
