Re: NBA Followers & other Ball sports (NCAA too)
Rockets get a road win. Make it a series again. These Western Conference Playoffs are unreal. Does not matter what seed 1 through 8 these are the most evenly matched series I have ever seen. Best 1st round I can remember.
Few interesting series in the East as well. Bulls vs Wizards and the Pacers chocking vs the Hawks thus far. Interesting. |
Re: NBA Followers & other Ball sports (NCAA too)
Last night Toronto's push was good at the end but not enough...and few last minute mistakes worked against them |

Pacers have fallen completely apart.
I said 2 months ago they need a big man, Hibbert is not a true big man.
And now Hibbert has been the crutch for them. |

Was watching Vince Carter "Vinsanity" hah - he has taken it up a notch |

Re: NBA Followers & other Ball sports (NCAA too)
Old man vince, still clutch.
Anyways, today is another must win game for the Toronto Raptors
Also you guys hear about Donald Sterling's comment. Very sad in my opinion. Totally messed up. Hope the NBA does not allow him to be an owner. |

| I don't agree. Only a select few are truly racist and they are on all sides. |

| Sterling has been one of the worst owners in basketball for years. However, he has hired black coaches, Elgin Baylor was his Executive of Basketball operations for several years. This supposed girlfriend is half black. Guy obviously made some bad comments and has some prejudice. But blatant racist, that would be hard to argue. |

| He should not be making these comments, if he actually did make these comments. What I read it is hearsay right now.
I am reading they are asking him to step down as owner.
Why? His comments if he did state them are wrong but come on, people make racist comments on all sides and even to each other and dont get penalized like giving up something he owns and has ran pretty darn well in hiring minorities. |

| Considering there are players in the NBA who have beat their wives, gone up in the stands and attacked fans. One of the marquee players for the past 10 years was accused of Raping a woman in Colorado. Another player brought firearms into the locker room. All these players are had second chances in the NBA.
I disagree very much with the comments. But the idea that this guy needs to sell his team or step down is a bit premature. Also I find it Ironic that Magic Johnson is claiming to be the moral authority when he cheated on his wife countless times contracted the HIV Virus and put his whole family in danger. Really someone to take advice from. |

| Really? lmao. The guy said "black people are the enemy". That's a lot different than some player cheating on his wife. This guy sounds like a plantation owner when it comes to running a team with minorities. |
Re: NBA Followers & other Ball sports (NCAA too)
Good game by Toronto vs Nets to tied up the series |

| Magic Johnson feels he is above everyone else. I cannot stand to listen to the man speak. Cheater and has no right speaking about moral and ethical values. |

| I guess you are ok with Players going into the stands and attacking fans. Players beating their wives and Rape. Players bringing loaded guns into the locker room and showing them off.
Personally, I don't support Adultery, Rape or Violence. But if you would rather allow those people to be forgiven and come back than you are a better person than me.
Words as idiotic as they may be are that. Words. I was always taught actions speak much louder.
If you want support the scum of the earth. You like Mr. Sterling are entitled to your opinion. |

| I agree with you.
"EDITED" to bite my tongue.
Racism is not a one way street like some make it out to be.
Racism works all directions.
Rappers can rap racist comments and no one says a word.
A rich successful man has an opinion and everyone wants to take him down.
Amazing.
Magic Johnson and World Peace are two idiots who need to shut up and sit down. Both are idiots and both have done far worse then someones comments and yet speak out about Sterlings comments.
Cheating on your wife and attacking an innocent fan is far worse then someones words. |

| Pacers and Bull both just fell apart.
OKC is a player short of going anywhere.
Bulls lost tonight. Guess defense dont win games like ESPN analyst said the Bulls will be scary because they have the best defense in the league.
Very good playoffs, glad to see some parity going on. |
