lol at these two paragraphs directly next to one another:

ESPN reports...
Through his legal team, Sarver denied using racially insensitive language. "I've never called anyone or any group of people the N-word, or referred to anyone or any group of people by the N-word, either verbally or in writing. I don't use that word. It is abhorrent and ugly and denigrating and against everything I believe in."

Sarver did acknowledge using the word once many years ago. "On one occasion a player used the N-word to describe the importance of having each others' back," Sarver said through his attorneys. "I responded by saying, 'I wouldn't say [N-word], I would say we're in the foxhole together.' An assistant coach approached me a short time after and told me that I shouldn't say the word, even if I were quoting someone else. I immediately apologized and haven't said it ever again. The N-word has never been part of my vocabulary."

"I never used the N-word."
*beat*
"Well, okay there was this one time."

Le Batard Show had Amin El-Hassan on the show today to talk about this (he worked with the Suns for 7 years) if you want some more insight into it. He doesn't reveal anything new that isn't already in that report, but he gives an honest perspective about what it was like to work for Sarver.

Morris/Jokic beef.

Just want to say that Booker gets +5 in respect. Got in Jokic's face after the flagrant last year on Payne, while all these Heat players are barking from afar.

Morris didn't deserve to be laid out that way, but definitely deserved to be retaliated against.

100% deserved it imo. He only took it in the back because he immediately turned his back on Jokic after committing a dirty play. He knew what he was doing and has a long history of being a dirty ass player.

If you commit a flagrant 2 when down a ton in a game that is already over then you should expect retaliation and face it head on rather than immediately trying to turn your back and walk away. Jokic would have likely done the exact same thing regardless of the direction Morris was facing

I agree.

I'm just iffy on behind the back shots, just dangerous in general. Morris was equally being dangerous with that move though, not just on the ribs, but the knee on a big man that could have easily buckled based on the impact.

you didn't see the alternate angle if you think that

Morris deserved worse than what he got. Both Morris brothers are garbage

and if you're gonna throw that kind of dirty shot, maybe don't turn your back on the guy you attacked

Strictly speaking on it being from behind. Morris(both) are well known dirty ass players so anything happening to them on the court isn't going to garner any sympathy from me.

Both Morris twins have hit players in the back in the past too which makes their outrage about this hit funnier.

They are both enforcer / bully type players which is fine in itself but you lose your ability to complain about dirty / retaliation plays when you are 1a and 1b on the list of dirty players.

And this goes for any behind the back shenanigans', like pushing in the back during a layup or dunk, just indefensible shit.

Booker is my guy, but he is guilty of this dirty shit too.

All Pistons Sophmores played great tonight. Might have been Killian's best game in his career

Cade also with some clutch shots in the final minutes. He continues to be #1 among rookies in points scored during clutch time and #8 in the league last I checked

but Cade had 25 points, 8 reb and 8 ast

Get some better players around him and as he matures he's probably a triple double machine.

The Magic are bad enough to lose plenty of games themselves but they are getting absolutely rinsed by the refs tonight. Just missed a blatant goaltend and the immediately followed it up with FTs 15 and 16 for Harden. Gave Cole a technical earlier after he got raked and a non call on a dunk. Didn't even bother to review WCJ getting smacked in the face either.

Just one of those games where everything seems to be getting called for the Nets. Wouldn't usually matter since they should beat us by a ton but it's actually a super close game and making all the difference

Ross gets fouled on a 3 point shot and gets the FTs. Refs do not bother to review for flagrant for Harden being in the landing zone even after Magic coach asks them to. Replay looks like it would be a flagrant if reviewed
