A lot of people complained apparantly. I've been unhappy with a lot of the techs that have been called this season, especially in the playoffs. They tried to clean up the league a bit and now have over corrected and are calling techs very quickly because of how the rules are written. It has gotten a lot of criticism so I hope it gets addressed in the off season.

Lol. Yeah. Not bad. Also, that is pretty tame trash talk compared to most on an NBA court. Luka thought nothing of it and was surprised Harrell called to apologize.

Wait? You have to apologize for that now? I was called that and more. Usually laughed with the guys afterwards. The NBA used to be a Men’s League

Most of the twitter response concerned the very real fact that if it had been a white player saying the same thing, with the word white changed to black, it would have been handled very differently.

It’s just different then back in the day apparently. We made comments about everything. If you got offended you got it more. Or you upped your game to shut them up

Yeah, I know. Doesn't change my opinion at all. It probably shouldn't of been said, but it is mild compared to what is said every single game. There is a reason they have to mute the extra mics they have around the players so often.

[olldflame]

It may have been "mild" from a profanity standpoint, but........................... it's 2020. The players and the league may let stuff like that slide, but a lot of the public will call them on their hypocrisy for doing so (and they did).

Interesting move by the league to "persuade" Harrell to apologize. Maybe they have finally caught on to the "first rule of holes".

[thepostman]

According to Harrell nobody told him to apologize so who knows.

I get why it is a big deal to some people but it still seems silly to me.

It’s such a nothing burger. Those offended obviously never played at the park or the local gym. Personally I would have taken it as a compliment.

[Jonathan Carone]

There's a video going around Twitter of Ernie Johnson's voice saying b---h a-- white boy over top of the video of Harrell saying it. It's pretty hilarious.

Yep, the white guy would already be looking another job. That is the major problem with identity politics, it cannot be enforced consistently or fairly.

Seth going at Paul George because Paul George has previously dated Seth’s wife and cheated on her with a stripper who he impregnated is peak NBA drama and I love it.

And to make the drama better - PG’s coach is the dad of Seth’s wife who PG cheated on.

I like Paul George's new nickname that has been making the round on social media - PG13%

[lynchburgwildcats]

Also, as much as I enjoy watching Luka play this tweet sums up how I feel as an Orlando Magic fan

YOu know what's even worse?

Drafting him then trading him

Or passing on drafting him after hiring his European coach and drafting Ayton instead

Or passing on him to draft Marvin Bagley becuase the GM had an unpleasant experience with his dad 20 years ago

Nothing would have been made of it if a bunch of snowflake white guys hadn't decided that calling someone a b* a* white boy was as bad as the n word.

No. It's acknowledged that there is no white equivalent to the n word. The comparison was with b*a* black boy coming from a white player.

I was settling in to watch the Magic play (and be eliminated ) this afternoon after work only to find out the Bucks have decided to boycott.

[Purple Haize]

Unbelievable

[thepostman]

Unbelievable?? Really??? Have you paid attention to the nba since the restart? I may think it isn't effective but it certainly is predictable and not unbelievable at all.

To quote you "That would be an incredibly naive position to take"

Does this mean the teams are now 3-2?

[thepostman]

The Bucks forfeited but the Magic aren't accepting the forfeit I guess. So who knows.

For some context with Milwaukee
Milwaukee Police Release Footage Of Cop Using Taser On Sterling Brown

Rockets/Thunder are also boycotting

This whole thing may get shut down.

Is it naive? I mean this boycotting thing just started. Being all SJW has been around for awhile.
They should all be forced to internalize the movie White Men Can’t Jump.

Now this?

Yeah, i mentioned that already. Keep up.
