Would you prefer the league bring that back?
Should they go back to when Kevin McHale can get away with clothes-lining someone to prove that only real men play NBA basketball?
Did I say that? I have no desire to bring basketball back to the way it was 30 years ago. I'm just pointing out that it's a falsity to say MJ never complained about anything when his bitching literally led to a rule change. [Reply]

Kobe Jeter is what I've called him for years. [Reply]
The NBA literally instituted the flagrant foul rule to protect MJ from the Pistons after he complained.
According to Isiah Thomas, MJs sworn enemy, I'll take anything Isiah says about MJ w a grain of salt.
You're simply a LeBronie. If someone posts something that doesn't coincide w your belief about LeBron you will criticize it no matter how truthful it is. You claim to be a Raptors fan yet 99.9% or your posts are about LeBron

Nothing worse than officiating taking over a game.
Denver 21 FTs vs 5 for phoenix. Every phoenix starter in foul trouble versus every bench player for Denver. Suns had the edge until ayton / KD foul trouble put them on roller skates.
Not a fan of phoenix but that was a hatchet job last night. [Reply]

The Suns have been dealing with that shit for most of the year.
We're pretty much done. KD wasn't hitting shit last night and our bench is nonexistent. I really hope they get rid of Paul in the offseason. Dude is washed. [Reply]

I think they could have actually held them off just because Denver was terribad on offense outside of Jokic. It was a devastating blow to force anyone who could guard the one hot shooter on Denver to guard with lots of restraint. Just lobsided officiating and you hate to see them influence games in this way. It’s the playoffs, let these guys for the most part play.
That being said… yeah this team looks problematic. Booker and Durant have such extraordinary volume shares. I think everyone else had something like 14 points and a lot of that was because there just weren’t touches. [Reply]

Please do. It's amazing the Raptors haven't traded that guy already given some of the rumored offers and the state of the team. No idea what they are doing. [Reply]
