the low key best part of that move, aside from all the other parts, is the fact that Harden put the Rockets up 31-7 with that 3.

And that the shot went in. So often you see some cool rear end poo poo like that and then the camera has to cut because the dude clanked the jumper.

Really, there is nothing about this murder I could possibly think that would be less perfect. I guess we didn't get and all-time call or an all-time stink face, but at that point I am just nitpicking.

When I first watched it I thought Harden pushed/bumped him a bit. But the 2nd angle from the baseline - it doesn’t look like much. So I was that guy for a bit.

When I saw the play live I thought a whistle had blown that I hadn't heard because everything stopped but after seeing replays, yeah, it's not anything that'd ever get called

I know the refs were calling the rip-through shot and the hook-defenders-arm-while-going-around-screen-and-jump foul a lot tighter at the beginning of the season (or, I should say, not calling them fouls), but are they still doing it now?

Cavs fans are officially banned from making jokes about how the city of Boston is mad racist (it is though) for 1.5 weeks!!!

There is a large difference between racism, racial slurs, and 'yelling a reference to a movie about Jamaicans bobsledding because it's the only thing you know about Jamaica.'

That would just a dumb drunken thing to yell and categorizing it with actual racial slurs shits on the experience of people who actually had to play through that poo poo nightly.

It's like yelling to Lebron "Why don't you go back to your department store where you work Fat Drew Carey.. Cleveland doesn't rock... it sucks!!"

It's just something a drunk guy is yelling

It's fine to heckle players by saying they're bad and that they should go do something other than playing basketball. Not original, not funny, but let's save the word racist for poo poo that's actually racist (assuming in that cadence, hes saying Hey Jamaican, dog they want their bobsledder back, and not calling him a dog). Mildly xenophobic dumb poo poo by a gen x guy who thinks he's clever.

You want to heckle Patty Mills you should say, St Mary's Gaels... are better without you, because he'd laugh and be confused and might be distracted enough to miss the shot

Jamaicans don't normally bobsled, I'm not going to die on this hill but I don't think that guy was doing more than try to be funny and heckle him with a dated pop culture reference. You can say he was being xenophobic by saying foreigner go home and do something associated with your country. Okay. But do you really think he was motivated by racial animus and not just trying to make the people around him laugh at his 25 year old movie reference.

I've known people who lived near large populations of Jamaican immigrants and never once have I heard someone use bobsledder as a covert slur or anything like that.

Do you think that might be different than fans of an a 95% white league telling a black american to go play basketball, a sport associated with black americans. That's exclusionary. It's not tongue and cheek and it's not an attempt at a joke.

Cool runnings is a beloved cultural touchstone and the way the guy says it makes it sound like he's upending the normal "go back to the minor leagues you bum" in a silly way.

Like if he would have said, Dog, go back to your lonely rocket to the sun, to Timofey Mozgov, would that be bad, because it's in the "you, go back to there" format and references an event in Soviet history?

Maybe his twitter account will come out and it will be nothing but obama target practice silhouettes full of bullet holes and casette tapes of Haile Selasie speeches blown up with a break action shotgun after being flung out of a pigeon thrower. Until then, I'll give him referencing beloved cultural touchstones while heckling a player with a short bio credit. I don't think there was harm intended or harm caused.

In sports news, Mario Hezonja had 17 points in 19 minutes. Jamychal Green had his 4th or 5th double double in a row, and JJ Barea keeps playing really well for a 5'10 shooting guard.
Detroit Beat Milwaukee by 23.
Dwight Buycks and Erick Moreland really looked good against a tired Milwaukee team. JAmes Ennis III started, to put a little shooting out and stop teams from ignoring Stanley Johnson on the perimeter. Stanley was very good against Milwaukee's tired and thin bench. 19/6 reb/4 ast

Reggie Jackson might be healthy for the last 2 weeks of the season. I have no idea if Detroit will still be in the playoff race by then. Reggie is going to make Blake Griffin upset, but they really need an NBA caliber starting pg to play 25 minutes a game or so. When Griffin is sitting, someone needs to be able to score.

The Detroit News said that Stan Van Gundy will probably lose his job if they don't make the playoffs. Tom Gores might be regretting the Griffin trade. I'm going to be Arm Tellem's right hand man and I'll hire RIck as head scout, Brolic as director of player development, and MV as the guy who says "Hey don't draft him as a stretch four he only shot 29% in college"

My title will be prime minister of basketball operations, Rasheed Wallace can be Vice Minister of ball
