Welcome to Thunderdome

NBA has zero tolerance policy towards gay people.

Ok, I was joking, but watch the guy and all his teammates. There is a lesson there that too many people *cough*bleedinghearts*cough* would miss. Watch at how he immediately proclaims his innocence and how his supporters rush to his defense and get irate even though they have no idea what happened. "Everyone in prison is innocent. Just ask them."

On a lighter note, what's the motivation to grab another player's junk during a sporting event?

In other NBA news, the league threatened teams telling them to stop trash talking on Twitter, so two NHL teams had a little fun with that.

Kyrie Irving should keep his mouth closed when he's high.

Among Irving's other conspiracy theories, he says the lunar landing was fake and that there possibly has been contact with alien life forms.

"The fact that they can make all these movies with alien descriptions, they're not just going on strictly brainpower and this is just creative things that we're going to put out to everybody," he told Jefferson and Frye. "For what? All to put an alien movie out, for what?"

I've never seen this before:

Two minutes into his first Cavs game, Bogut busts his leg.

Also, Portland-Minnesota game cancelled.

The NBA postponed the game due to a slippery court caused by condensation from an ice sheet underneath it and outside humidity on a day in which temperatures reached the mid-60s.
...
It was the second time this season that a game had to be postponed because of a slippery court. The game between the Kings and 76ers in Philadelphia was postponed on Nov. 30.

Adam Silver sends memo to teams trying to stop the resting of players.

Translation: ESPN is getting murdered on their TV deal with the league. Nobody is watching, so pulling stars makes things worse. The next TV deal should result in less money for the league overall.

What the NBA needs to do is:
-End "super teams".
-Make it so teams outside the major markets have a shot at winning.
-End the "one and done".
-Fix the 3 point shot problem.

Maybe not have an 82-game season, too.

I actually had that on my list initially, but I figured if baseball won't shorten their 162 game season, what are the odds the NBA owners shrink from their 82 game season? Every home game is pure profit to them.

LeVar on LaVar.

LaVar ball expresses his racist views.

He thinks that every white teenager gets a $100,000 car from their parents.

and I knew for a white guy, you could elbow him in the face. He was going to get back up and keep playing.”

I'm with Draymond on this once after watching the video. Someone fucks with me, I'm hitting them. Well, I'm a bit cooler of a head than that, but I'm fucking with them back eventually, but my gut reaction would be to punch em in the face.

I disagree. Any other player, yes. However, this is a guy other teams and players are intentionally targeting because they know he'll retaliate and get suspended.

That's a tactic that won't end until he proves he won't throw that punch.

Lavar Ball throwing out more racism.

Imagine if he was white. The MSM would be crucifying him.

If I was a GM I'd avoid his son simply because of this asshole.

LaVar Ball thinks his brand will be bigger than NIke.

Yet for some reason he still wants his sons to get a contract with Nike...

If I'm a GM, I skip his son just because of the father.

Bird leaves the Pacers.

Nike, Adidas, and Under Armor tell the Ball family to go fuck themselves.

Seriously, Lavar Ball is insane and if I'm the GM of an NBA team I avoid his son because of it.

The Clippers have some big decisions to make this summer (Chris Paul's and Blake Griffin's free agency), but the talk in New York will turn to potential Carmelo Anthony-to-LAC trades in the wake of the Clippers' first-round exit. Many things can happen in the coming weeks, but it's worth noting that some members of the Clippers organization felt back in February that they could land Anthony in a trade this offseason, per league sources familiar with the matter.

When has adding a ball hog that doesn't play defense ever fixed anything?
