Just the latest episode of, 'Why We Can't Have Nice Things..'



Kyrie up to his usually pettiness as well. (Although, I'd applaud Jae Crowder taking a dump on the Lakers half court logo, so...)

I think he should be banned from attending games, but assault charges are a bit much.

Kyrie stomping on the Celtics logo is so classless. The Celts seem to have treated him well as an organization, and it's disrespectful and stupid to do what he did. I feel like this Nets team is really leaning into the evil heel role this year. I want to see them lose so badly. I hope the Bucks or 76ers can take them out. I think the general consensus is too bullish on Brooklyn. Everybody just assumes they'll be in the Finals. Getting past Milwaukee and Philly is going to be really tough. If you gave me Nets vs the field, right now, I'd take the field.

I actually think it's kind of funny. Is it just because he played for the Celtics unsuccessfully or would you think any player that did that was classless? It's not like he defaced it or anything.

Ya Brooks is the kind of guy you like when he’s on your team...at least when he’s playing well. He also has the tendency to go cold and keep firing away.
So true. He has some absolutely abysmal shooting nights quite frequently. He has been tremendous in the playoffs though.

I like a lot of the Memphis guys, but Grayson Allen and Dillon Brooks are two of the more unlikable guys in the league.
I love them Both! Remind me of the old Knicks. But I like players like Vernon Maxwell, Oakley and McDanell
Mad Max!

But Grayson shouldn't be mentioned with those guys. Shame on you, BAMF. ;)

Bad blood all around...kyrie quit on Boston... why? I don’t know, but Boston fans have let him have it. They booed him all game...Kyrie let them and the organization know how he felt. Honestly, no connection to either side, so it doesn’t bother me.

It’s the same as maybe a Morris bro or Bledsoe doing the same at a suns game...although if McD and his crew were still around. Less meaning now...

I wish that somehow Brooklyn and Boston could both lose their series.

Now that would be something!!

But second best, is the overrated Celtics losing 4-1 on the 1st round, and the Nets losing 4-1 on the second round, both would be huge disappointments. Ok, just for them!!! :lol:

My issue with Kyrie is that he complains about media coverage and fans and all the negativity directed towards him and others, but then stomps on the logo which is bound to garner that kind of attention. In no way am I defending that fan, who may not have even seen Kyrie stomp on the logo and could've just been waiting for Kyrie to pass by to throw the bottle. But even if that fan doesn't throw the bottle, the "stomp" would've been the story and would've been plastered all over social media and ESPN, etc. And then he probably would've complained about having to answer questions about it.

Regarding these fans, I think they should be banned from all NBA games. Not just Celtics games. Not just Knicks games or Sixers games. All NBA games and the ban should come from the NBA. I don't know how that's enforced, but that statement should be made by the league. And with MSG, they could've banned that spitting fan from all Dolan-owned venues - Radio City, Beacon, MSG, etc - but don't believe they did so.

What’s going on with these fans? They’re so glad to get out of the house and with other people that they can’t control themselves.

What happened to Embiid? I wasn't watching but NBA.com said he went out with an injury.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

He landed hard on his tailbone.

Asshole + copious amounts of alcohol = well, this.

Great tackle by the security guy.

That was a nice tackle. The guy only barely made it onto the court. It makes you wonder if he had a plan if he had made it onto the court unscathed.

You can see in the second angle that he actually does make it onto the court and seems to slap the backboard for some reason. Seems like a guy following through on a dumb bet or something.
