General NBA Discussion

Trump should stop worrying about the NBA and NFL and focus more on North Korea

and also stop antagonizing the little puke by calling him names

 

[azurepred]

So, back to basketball, Wade got bought out by Chi! If he goes to Cle, I hope he comes off the bench. He could give them a solid 15 minutes, nothing more. Maybe he'll join OKC though?

1. A president with the slightest modicome of forethought wouldnt have stepped into this in the first place. There was no upside to jumping into this fray. It's a controversial issue that really affects no one's daily life. He muddles and stumbles into problems of his own making. He reminds me of a drunk driver.

2. This whole thing was beginning to die on the vine. It was down to Kapernick who doesnt even play right now. In time it would have blown over. By bringing it up he gave it a new life.

3. The preisdent of the united stated has no business telling private organizations when they should fire or suspend people. The same people who talk about government overreach on the size of a soda quickly forget that.

4. The president shouldnt be weighing in on an individual's legal protest. The NFL, the owners, and the players are all pefectly fine with ppl taking a knee or sitting or whatever. At that point there's no legal issue between employees and employers, or hostile work environment. I cant tell you how contrary it is to American values for a sitting president to advocate someone losing their job because of their legal protest.

because look at the childish things he says ALL the time. He deserves to be attacked for the stupid things he writes on social media. How come the leader of this country does not come out and be more vocal about the black on black crime? Trump has also not made one attempt to change the culture in this country at all. Nothing will change if the culture does not change and it starts at the top. From what I've seen over the years, athletes are the only ones putting in good effort to help the inner city youth in this country because many came from those situations.

Trump definitely is trying to change the culture of this country. Look at the number of crimes versus minorities since he’s been in office. Trump doesn’t seem to understand that white supremacists aren’t “fine people”, yet he’s happy to put athletes on blast as “sons of *******”. The more this president speaks, the worse our nation gets. I keep thinking he can’t lower the bar any more, but he finds a way.

I can’t honestly see how anyone can defend to moronic things he says. This is the new normal I guess. [emoji848]

I just don’t think he’s a good fit for OKC at this point.

Then why doesn't Trump do something about the black on black crime? He's the president of all the people isn't he?

Typical. Everything that wasn't solved through total Democrat control for decades (Chicago), is now Trump's fault.

You should probably read the news since he's been focused on it since he started running and very much since DRPK started saber-rattling again.

Literally five seconds spent on a simple search destroys your argument - https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=trump+on+chicago

Honestly you aren't worth a response, seeing as your from California. You people live in your own world, unlike any other, where good is bad and bad is good. The truth is no matter what Trump does, hyper-partisans such as yourself, will never work with him or give him any credit. Have fun in la la land.

Simply Hilarious and another Californian. One has to be a special kind of willfully ignorant to believe anything you just wrote. Spend two minutes here - https://www.fakehatecrimes.org and you'll see over 300 documented fake hate crimes, and all of the big ones that were in the news. The thing is, with Trump haters/ideologues such as yourself, you will take information known to be false/fake and pass it off as true/factual. Tldr: you're disingenuous.

Trump calling racists, KKK, and Nazis, evil. Another ten second search you could have easily done - https://youtu.be/uoRZaYU_Sm4

I'm not surprised you guys are so uninformed and intellectually lazy, seeing as you come from the mecca of hardcore leftism. You exercise no critical thinking skills and just regurgitate the daily attacks that have been used ad nauseam on him and his supporters. We get it, you hate him.

Russia is a nothing burger
White supremacists aren't running the White House
Hate crimes aren't increasing
Trump can multi-task, meaning he can tweet and deal with world issues
Trump isn't a dictator or there would be no pathetically lame resistance
Trump isn't going to destroy the world
We survived Obama, you'll survive Trump

The NFL is full of people who work to help others out, right?
That's funny.

All I want is my atheletes to entertain that’s what their paid to do. Political views whichever way they lean doesn’t belong on the court / field etc. nor influence me whatsoever. Save it for your own time and just play ball....

Wade to the Cavs huh.......

 

[chewblacca]

When congress has to pass a bill to make a president denounce hate groups because he can't says a lot about the president.

Yea, I'm glad to be a Californian, so I can avoid as many political nuts like you as possible. Please DON'T respond to me anymore if you can't disagree without name calling and trying to force your hardcore trumpness views on people by degrading them. Sounds like a president I know of actually. "Hyper-partisan"? lol. Give me a break....

to be fair, they do still go out and play ball. They aren't delaying any games. Cavs still gotta dump some guys I would think. I worry Lue won't know what to do with all this depth now.

The thing he’s missing is that he’s a perfect example of how Trump is changing culture in America. People here are posting that being from California is bad, calling people names, etc. Who set the tone for these types of low level discussion? The president, who should be unifying a nation, not dividing it.

The Trump base loves his angry rhetoric. They will defend him no matter what. The bar keeps getting lower, with no end in sight. I am embarrassed by the president, and I am embarrassed as to how the rest of the world sees our nation with this man in office.

This is coming from a middle aged, educated, patriot, and white man from California. We need to unify as a nation and avoid the divisive rhetoric.

Or to pass a bill to take away powers of the Presidency when it comes to removing Russian sanctions...and this was a Republican sponsored bill. Trump then calls the bill, “Clearly unconstitutional”.

I can't wait to see Dennis Smith Jr hit the court this season. I am hoping he makes the transition of eventually losing Dirk a little easier.

Spoiler: He won't. I will still cry like a baby.

 

[Darkseed]

While the eventual outcome will be another Warriors championship, I have become intrigued with the season after all the moves etc.

Sadly, I have not. GS should still run through this like a hot knife through butter... but I guess who they beat in the conf championship game could be interesting to see since its still Cleveland in the East until next year then Boston probably takes over for a bit.

The guy trashing on Californians is a hypocrite, you want people to give trump a chance yet you just used a stereotype to define a whole state of people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, and beliefs. This type of thought process is why people are protesting, stop using stereotypes to define groups of individuals that reside in the same geographical region, or who are of the same race, religion or creed. I just don’t get how any intellectual person could say that everyone who resides in California are clones of one another, forget free will and thought, forget about everything we know about genetics, DNA and the like- they are all the same... Is that how you really believe the world to be, that if one dog bites their owner, all dogs that live in that state or are of that breed are going to bite their owners thus they should all be put down and eradicated. Saying all Californians are bad people is no different than saying all white people are bad or all black people are bad, or that our current president is a fascist racist ******. Only siths deal in absolutes, the world isn't just black and white there are often morally grey areas-the solution usually lies in these grey areas between two extreme points of view. Trump is a rapidly becoming a toxic president, he says things on record that no other president in the history of our country would dare to say or get involved in. He is different than the normal politician which is his greatest strength, but it is also rapidly becoming his greatest weakness, he does not know when to just shut up and take the highroad. He is like Kevin Durant, he can’t enjoy the fact he just won the championship, he just can’t take the high road, he has to respond to everything, thereby giving the opponents he hates so much power in acknowledgement. If he just ignored half this ****, it would disappear but he cannot. He is like the bully at school that cannot let bygones be bygones when he feels some little freshman disrespected him because he had the audacity to walk down the same hallway as him.

For the record i dont agree with players protesting the flag or national anthems at games, its the wrong forum for such protests, not only that but they are protesting the wrong way. The flag is a symbol of unity and it honors those that faught to defend it along with all the liberties we are afforded living in this great country. It should be used as a symbol to bring us together as a people but instead its being targeted as a symbol to tear us apart and for that the players are dead wrong. They can have their football ill keep my flag, the red white and blue are colors i will always be proud of, cant say the same for the red white and gold team that spawned my nfl fandom

Yes, I'm the nut because I'm not obsessed with Trump and I don't push conspiracy theories about him. Put me on ignore if you don't want to see anything else from me and that goes for the rest of those in your echo-chamber.

Now that is hilarious. What do the anti-Trump people do an a per-minute basis? Here's one small example. Trending twitter hashtag #KillTrump and it's not people on the right

I wrote a bunch of stuff, but deleted it after I got to the end of what you wrote. I'm a reasonable person. Just an FYI, I'm from a multi-racial/cultural, educated, military family, but me/us are somehow Nazis, racists, etc in the minds of so many who hate Trump. We're none of that. Like you said, we're all Americans. We can disagree, but it doesn't have to have so much vitriol in it. Things get conflated and sides are chosen, while the politicians are buddies behind the scenes. We're more alike than we know, we just support different people.

Your Durant/Trump analogy is spot on. Some people just have to respond, President or not. I'm obviously with you on the flag, also.

I'll drop this topic if everyone else does, but you can't expect people you disagree with to just say nothing, when untruths are posted.

Agree to disagree and move on
