The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

[DCAllAfrican]

In all seriousness, I would be kinda crushed if Magic talked about me like that.

I know (sorry, ASSUME) WB's confidence is shot right now. Probably hasn't been this low since Middle School.

 

[IATT]

We definitely not doing this. Philly fans are league wide considered the worst for a reason.

also, if you want to discuss worst fans I would suggest starting with those who felt it necessary to defend a blatantly racist team name and/or team logos

Then I’d move on to any team fan base that has thousands of white people doing the ‘chop‘ on a weekly basis after they massacred those people, stole their land and demonized them as the ‘bad guys’ for entertainment purposes

Russ Brook. The West don’t claim that man no mo

 

[getback]

Let’s face it, the reason lebron brought Westbrook to the lakers was to mainly to deflect criticism from himself.

Early contender for worst take of the month.

 

[703 hwy]

Sad this man is able to make a mockery of the league

[art vandelay]

majority of fans are bottom of the barrel…

Cowboys fan here, some of us are pretty chill, we spend most of our time making fun of the team with other fans. I remember back in the day when I first joined NT someone posted a funny *** video of a Cowboys fan and Giants fan getting into it in front of the Cowboys fan’s Ol Lady. The Giants fan hit dude so hard that his pants fell all the way down. The funniest thing I’ve ever seen on here. Since then, I just don’t take any of it that seriously

 

[friscostylez]

Definitely having a full blown convo if I see Keyon Dooling or Will Bynum out here.

How would you break the ice

RE: Russ

Never cool when folks are going at people's families. Especially since none of those fools would say ANY of those things face to face.

But Russ also has to know that getting into shouting matches with folks on the sidelines for their words will do nothing but make people do it even more. Damned if you do, Damned if you don't.

BUt we are human, so I can't REALLY say what he should/shouldn't do.

But I would like to see a fan get knocked out and held accountable for their actions.

He should ask himself what made him and his a family a target in the first place. I know there are lot's of crazies out there but what drove these people to the extreme. I believe if he was more of a pacifist, people would less likely react to such behavior.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

How would you break the ice

KD: Easy. I can just thank him for sharing his story with folks and I think we can go from there.

Bynum: Not even sure forreal. Maybe I would ask him something about the High School days. Preps, Nike Camp hi Jr. Year. Not really sure.

toxic

 

[sneeker]

Russ keep using that 'bigger than basketball' and family talk as an easy out... big baby *** ***** just butthurt on getting called out for being trash stop with the deflection

bigger than basketball? then what the hell is he still doing in the NBA? just retire already.

 

[big j 33]

If someone hasn't photoshopped Westbrook's face over Marlo saying "My name is my name" then the internet has failed me.

 

[pmatic]

 

[Coupé It]

Lakers & Lebron have been getting plenty of blame.
But Russ has to be held accountable for his play. That's the bottom line.
All he has to do is play better.

Just play better?

He can’t play better tho.

If it was just that easy he’d do it.

 

[sneeker]

This is why I never really had a problem with Artest jumping in the stands.

If you want to take it to that level, beyond just boos and chants.....okay we can do that

Only mistake he made was going at the wrong dude

the one with Artest I couldn't support. he instigated it.

not saying all of y’all.. and sadly it ain’t just an American thing either, got numerous examples

just funny to me when I see stuff on Philly fans like their some next level terrible.. we literally watching lakers players go at it with lakers fans and they have a rep of being chill



when I think of bad fans, I don’t think of the fans that boo or are actually invested

i think of the stories of fans who will go and find personal shh on players and chant that shh.. duke fans are known for this dumb shh

Bruh's in Charlotte now Ms. journalist lady.

Nothing he has said or done should have made his family a target

 

[sneeker]

by all accounts he's a great human being. What's the guideline there?

I couldn't say someone is great unless he has done some "great things" to other people pro-actively other than a husband and a family man. for a man who is making excuses that he is a great human being, it's funny that he shows lack of humility.

 

[Blue Mamba]

If Westbrook simply owned up to his bad gameplay he’d have less heat on him. He’s only making things worse with the constant deflections and topic changing

 

[addict4sneakers]

The Celtics got more love for big baby than IT and he’s got to realize that

 

[IATT]

He should ask himself what made him and his a family a target in the first place.

be good enough at basketball?

With the fan who threw a beer at him?
