    Didn't want to jump in on this. But that's the thing, heat of the moment. Racist comments against blacks and other minorities at the heat of the moment ruin people's careers. The argument is, what you say in the heat of the moment is what you really feel about something. I don't necessarily fully agree with the argument. But that's how it goes nowadays. You'd better watch your mouth in the heat of the moment.

    This. Its fair to say durvasa has a point that it shouldnt diminish his stance on BLM (which i support)

    But... Saying its a heat of the moment thing is weak sauce.

    It should just be acknowledged by him and everyone around him that it was hypocritical. The sad thing is they would never acknowledge that.

    I am not a moral apostle or saint but the better question should be did he get away with it? Or was it a technical?

    In my view, if you and the person you are interacting with live in America, then yes — unless the interaction is completely private. But “completely private” doesn’t generally exist, practically, as a private interaction will stick in a person’s memory and eventually affect how that person interacts with others in the society. It’s an interesting question, though.

    I love how he is so opposite of Steph. He doesn't showboat and act cocky after ripping a 3 PT shot. I actually enjoy seeing him come out and bring it. I can't even watch Steph Curry play anymore. His arrogance nauseates me.

    As crazy as it is to see huge players who have guard skills and move like smaller ones, where the bigger X quicker the more fascinating (zion, bron, shaq), leonard kind of has the opposite fascination to my eyes. It's weird to see someone so "small" (not really, 6-7?!) & skilled, who is so strong. In little collisions, he doesn't get bumped off what he'd doing somehow. It looks impossible, bigger players just bounce off him, doesn't lose his dribble, doesn't get knocked off course to the hoop, like the laws of physics are being broken. Different gravity anchoring his mass.

    Maybe it's leonard's tendency to not react to anything- I think lebron is/would be like this too, but he is a bit bigger so it doesn't look as funny, and is physically more dramatic in collisions that makes it look like he is more susceptible than he is.

    Kawhi is good. But the Mavs defense is pretty bad. He can get to the rim at will, lots of times unmolested. You would think that with Porzingis there, they should have good rim protection.

    Definitely agree deb.

    You want people to hear where you're coming from, and to see who and what you are, NOT by the color of your skin, you don't make a PUNK ASS COMMENT like this!!

    News flash to you idiot's on here that obviously do NOT get this. There are racist people of EVERY color and calling someone a "b**** ass white boy" is a racist freaking comment.

    Oh but he said it "in the heat of the moment"????

    GET THE F OUT OF HERE WITH THIS BULLSHIT!!!

    The mavs wings are too small for kwahi, and when they put somebody bigger like Kleber, he is not strong or athletic enough to do anything against him. That doesn't change, that playoff Kwahi is scary as hell.
    I think porzingis is good protecting the rim, but they are switching a lot into him to pull him out.

    Pandemic P will show you doubters that he can show up for at least 1 game out of 7.
