You just paid a king's fucking ransom for Brunson - this is NOT acceptable!!!!!  Fucking PERIOD.  Talk all you want about what happened when they went zone, our turnovers, etc - yoiu have to have your general on the court.

It is also quite obvious to me that BREEN has been instructed to publicize positives for Barrett.  "Whoa - that is THREE assisists in the first quarter for RJ!"

Pissed At An Omnist
« Reply #25367 on: November 03, 2022, 02:53:38 PM »

Kyrie has identified himself as an OMNIST, ergo, it is impossible for him to be anti-semetic. 

The Oxford dictionary defines an OMNIST as:

A person who believes in all faiths or creeds

A person who believes in a single transcendent purpose or cause uniting all things or people or the members of a particular group of people.

The sheer hubris of this motherfucker knows no bounds. 

HUBRIS: Arrogance, Excessive Pride

Identifies as an Omnist, yet for SOME INEXPLICABLE REASON, chooses to SHARE on his social media platform links to a book and movie so awash in hate and ignorance and long discredited and familar Anti-Semetic tropes [Trope: a common or overused theme or device] about THE JEWS as deployed not only by the Russian Czars and Cossacks, and the Nazis, but by virulent American bigots such as Henry Ford, Father Coughlin and Charles Lindbergh. 

And when called on it by an ESPN Reporter, denies any cause and effect regarding somehing he CHOSE TO SHARE ON WITH HIS FOLLOWERS AND ON HIS PLATFORMS, retreats behind pseudo-intellectual sophistry [Sophistry: Fallacious arguments, especially with the intention of deceiving] and goes on to accuse said reporter of "dehuminaizing me."

Kyrie has since made a half hearted gesture towards fighting hate with a cash contribution, BUT HAS REFUSED TO OWN HIS OWN CURIOUS CHOICES AND ACTUALLY APOLOGIZE. 

Failing to cop to the fact that ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. 

Meanwhile, his brother in brouhaha, posts his support on Twitter, while NBA Commentators such as Reggie Miller wonder why all you hear is crickets from NBA players, while Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley express their own outrage and calls for serious, meaningful consequences. 

MEANWHILE, someone as clearly sympathetic as Amare Stoudamire, who coached Kyrie at Brooklyn, and who himself converted to Judaism, spoke of Kyrie's intellectual and spiritual curiosity and journey, and the core of something worth salvaging, while insisting that he needs to apologize. 

MEANWHILE, Kyrie is now considered RADIOACTIVE by NBA Insiders.  Who in their right mind would trade for or sign this malodorous [Malodorous: smelling very unpleasant] malcontent [Malcontent: a person who is dissatisfied and rebellious]?

His ego is such that he has already bailed on a partnership with arguably the greatest player of the modern era, in LeBron James, and one of the winningest franchises, the Boston Celtics, with their core of gifted young players. 

And while looking ahead to 2023-2024, when he will be a free agent, and the Los Angeles Lakers have divested themselves of Russell Westbrook's massive contract, would seem a perfect fit, save that not only is LOS ANGELES a very cosmopolitan, multi-racial/mult-ethnic city, but is often cited as one of the linchpins of the International Jewish Conspiracy given the outsized role people of an Eastern European Jewish heritage played in the very origins of the movie business, Hollywood itself, and the modern entertainment industry. 

NOT A GOOD LOOK.

And much as the Lakers would be hard pressed to look the other way, given what a great fit Irving's immense talents as a scorer, shooter and facilitator would theoretically be for their current core of aging and gimpy superstars, like everyone else on Planet Earth who respects his talent [and acknowledges his acts of charity], weighing the plusses and minuses, and given his predeliction for the precipice and self-immolation, well...YOU DO THE MATH.

I do believe Kyrie Irving has played his last game as a Brooklyn Net.

Dead at the age of 30 of a self inflicted air strike, pausing only once to reload.

Once December rolls around, I would try to get Russ from the Lakers for our least inspired defenders.

Russ, Juan Toscano-Anderson and Wenyen Gabriel for Jules. Archi and Evan.

Wenyen can back up Obi and Thibs can do whatever he wants with Russ.

Mitch Isiah Hericho
Obi Gabriel JTA
RJ Cam Svi
Grimes IQ Russ
Brunson Rose McBride

Thibs On Ice
« Reply #25370 on: November 04, 2022, 02:05:04 PM »

Make that thin ice. 

Calls for Thibs to be fired proliferating.

Don't be late to the party, fellow Elbans.  Get the Greek Chorus going.

ME?

If a move is to be made, doing it now would seem to me to be a weak panic-desperation gesture, sowing chaos, not unlike the Nyets cashiering Nash. 

If we don't simply elevate Johnny Bryant, and want to have a choice of good condidates, Thibs merits a full season with Brunson. 

At that point, evaluate his rotations, in game decisions, offensive sets.  If the ends results are not pleasing, such as, say, failure to make the PlayIn, or a really bad showing thereof, well...the wind may not cry Mariah, but fireFireFIRE...

PS: Dearest Facil: No thank you.

Kyrie: BEYOND All FUCKING Belief
« Reply #25371 on: November 04, 2022, 04:05:08 PM »

The Nyets Owner--THE FUCKING OWNER--gave Kyrie Irving every opportunity to make amends, distance himself from his putative endorsement of a virunlently amti-Semitic book & movie,  right the ship, apologize, and move on. 

EVERY OPPORUNITY 

And according to Ramona Shelburne& Adrian Wojnarowski, for the better part of a week, Kyrie DIDN'T RETURN ANY OF JOE TSAI's TEXT MESSAGES

According to The Prophet Kiid [No, make that Father Coughlin Kiid], we're just a bunch of whiners, and there's a ring in Kyrie's future.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/34948105/inside-high-wire-decision-suspend-brooklyn-nets-star-kyrie-irving

At this point in time it is questionable if Kyrie will ever play for the Nyets again, let alone receive a max offer this summer as a UFA.

UFA?

Unrestricted Free Agent?

UNREPENTANT FUCKING ASSHOLE

Helping to mainstream anti-Semitism. 

For most, the news conference had portrayed a familiar Irving.  Defiant, undeterred and crusading with misinformation.

"I'm only going to get stronger because I'm not alone," Irving said. "I have a whole army around me."

Kyrie continues to own the media, while Nets continue to wreck a franchise.

I do like Cam and RJ as wings around Brunson.

No Embid, no Harden still problems. In the end we overcame.

Grimes will hit his stride.

We are finally finding a proper role for Fournier.

We are a half game behind the Celts and a game and a half behind the Raps playing scratch basketball.

The best is yet to come.

Good  win

Thibs goes small at the end.  Kudos to the coach who "cannot/will not adjust"

Most would identify him as a  self-loather. Lets make believe I am something else. Look I can hate on the Jews. A 40 point win without his cancerous help.
