The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[WASHED KING]

Ok let’s go ahead and trade Russ for Buddy now

 

[waukeganwill]

Just got home, Dubs up 14? Did Westbrook do his signature bank shot that goes off the shot clock yet?

Naw but he hacked the inbounds man

 

[B Sox]

Don’t understand how you went from the Bubble Lakers team to this. Crazy

This supporting cast is awful.

 

[darthska]

Steph Curry … look at these cuts man

It really is beautiful basketball. He is very good at playing basketball.

Don't let Russ get hot now

But that's not how they talk. That's the point. If your culture was constantly attacked, only to then be co-opted for exploitation and resold you'd also gatekeep it.

I respect your take and I'm not trying to stir anything up.

Just offering another POV here.

But I took it the other way like if people are saying he's white and can't "speak black".... then what you tryna say (not you specifically) if someone who IS black uses so called "big words" instead??

Oh, they must be white bc they're speaking "proper"??

Not feeling that inference/assumption at all.

Russ won’t let Russ get hot. Problem solved.

Davis has a ton of definition in his arms, glad he got into the weight room this summer!

 

[antidope]

That’s right Reggie, graduating college is a bigger deal than doing ANY of those other things.

 

[picasso swerve]

Who tf is Ryan?

 

[picasso swerve]

Here we go with this “Westbrook plays hard” talk.

Cmon Reg.

 

[B Sox]

Who tf is Ryan?

Celtics 18th man last year.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Who tf is Ryan?

QB for the colts

 

[WASHED KING]

In striking distance and Bron shaking off the rust.

We good relax

 

[antidope]

They have brought up the Green Poole thing like 6 times. Wonder how long this will go on

 

[Nipsey3000]

Gotta get buddy and turner

 

[WASHED KING]

Until the team implodes this season

 

[amitt5504]

Lakers down 9. Really down 20

 

[shuges]

I was going through pics and was like who tf is this??

EYE understand bringing in Schroeder and to a lesser extent Montrezl but gutting the perimeter depth by trading for Westbrook and losing Caruso in the process will always "bottle" my mind.

Been all downhill from there.

Don't know what Pelinka, Lebby and AD were thining.

That’s right Reggie, graduating college is a bigger deal than doing ANY of those other things.

like 4 million students graduate from college a year.. and somehow college is more meaningful than getting an award that only 33 players have ever received in the history of the nba

What does code switching or "speaking proper" have to do with the co-opting of AAVE?
Calling out one says nothing about the other. They're related but not in an identical way.

 

[lawdog1]

I know I have a lot of Lakers fans on ignore, but nevertheless I feel like they are quite thin in here tonight.

People gonna make jokes but the kid can hoop.
