***Official NBA Thread***

[social]

Been reading more about it. Seems he's been done or involved in racial related issues in the past, and the Clippers manager/coach had no idea. Eeek.

Don't know all the details of the tenant bias cases against him but I reckon many Sydney developers would sympathize as vast majority opt to pay massive fees rather than provide a component of social housing in their projects as latter is seen as being detrimental to sale prices

made me wonder about how backwards australia is as a country when a guy like sterling is banned for a comment like that and a guy who called a sri lankan 'a black ****' is now the coach of australia.

australia has a long way to go

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Can't disagree with you there.

 

[nightprowler10]

So 3 game 7s tomorrow. Apparently an NBA first.

 

[nightprowler10]

It's pretty believable actually, it's been common knowledge that he's a gigantic **** for decades. It was largely ignored because he's rich as **** and the Clippers have always sucked.

This was posted on circsim. Pretty much spot on from 3:47 onwards.

Worst Indiana Pacers team to play playoff basketball ever?

 

[Jono]

There's something in my eye.

 

[nightprowler10]

They were playing excerpts of it on the radio, but I have yet to listen to the whole thing. It sounds like it went on for a while.

 

[NUFAN]

Went for longer than the Bulls playoff run..
