Nice start.  What the hell is wrong with Gortat?

NM:  He's hanging in there.

What's the latest on Al Harrington?

There is some crampin and some whining going on in here!

If you put twa and chipwhich on ignore, this is a pretty informative thread.

Wittman stuck with the 8 man rotation tonight

Working on his playoff rotation?

Solid 1st half.  But no Porter, Seraphin or Vesely?

This just in,  Detroit still a ****hole.

Better team wins.

I was thinking about going to this game.  So glad I didn't.

Why do we always have at least one godawful quarter per game.  That's your job, Randy…to stop the bleeding!

The rain has stopped, has it not?

According to Schaefer, @AdrienBroner has picked up his right to a rematch with @ChinoMaidana. He said rematch likely in April on @SHOsports

Schaefer said Maidana-Broner II could be 4/19 or 4/26 at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif., or again at Alamodome in San Antonio. #boxing

 

 

Broner deserves some measure of credit for going right back at Maidana. A lot of fighters would have taken a "get right" fight before doing a rematch. Better fix that defense though, its extra leaky.

Lets get it on!

There are, in this world, terrible places of inky nothingness.  No sound, no light, no soul can ever escape.  You won't see the sky and you won't feel the ground, you will only fall and you will resign yourself to this vacuum.  And when the falling ends, you will not remember or reminisce.  You will pretend that it never happened and deny your powerlessness, like a child that tries to go to sleep with the lights on, while the monster waits under the bed.

You console yourself, cowardly beneath your blanket, with one thought…I want to leave Indiana.

I got Jan for 12-10-5 and 3 tonight.  Shock the world!

Alvarez V Angulo announced for March 8 in Vegas.

Vestumbo.

The BirdJan.

The Worm.

Elvis Vesely.

When the light turns on….

Not to take this too far down that road, but the white men can't jump meme is more of a racial statement against black people, than whites. (he plays on instinct vs. he is a smart player, etc)

I disagree, but let's let it go.

Go Wiz!

was the statement only mentioning white people?

not only that but Gortat and Vesely do not see themselves as "white." They see one as Polish and the other Czech.

It's all tongue in cheek, but in a racist context, the statement can only be interpreted as reinforcing the stereotype that white folks can't jump.

For instance:  " That John Wall is a white man in a black man's body…You never see a black man swim like that."  See what I mean?

White folks in Europe definitely can. But not in the way Gortat was talking here. White is an American thing because we're such an ethnic hodge-podge. That's as specific as white people tend to get when describing themselves.

But there is an ancient history of ethnic prejudice and strife among white skinned peoples in Europe.

True that.  Everybody over there knows that Poles have no hops and Czechs cannot swim.

thats pretty racist.

Can white folks be racist against white folks?

Vesely is grinding out there.

I got a bad feeling about this.

Suck it, Jordan!
