Curry tweaks his ankle and looks like he injured his wrist. He won't return. I don't know why I'm not sleeping this match away.


I should have known something would definitely go wrong once they said it was LGBTQ night.
Yeah!! Curry out with a broken left hand. embarassed

With DLO and a lottery pick you lot are putting together great trade assets for yourselves. You lot weren't going to win anyway and this way steph has an excuse. This could be the best thing to happen to you.

Toughest game I've had to watch since Game 7, 2016 finals. Good thing the young guys fought and cut the lead down to 11pts. This team needs a new identity.

I get that society has not been kind to a lot of them and their quirks and idiosyncratic ways. However a lot of them just see anyone that doesn't share their views on everything as an enemy and start their outrage p0rnn rants

Look at the matter of the athlete (a cyclist I think) that was biologically a male and competing with women and then you have these guys hollering transphobia and are completely clueless about sports and think merely lowering testosterone levels is all it takes to level the playing field and allow actual men compete with women.

The pronoun thing is the most ridiculous thing in the world, the moment i see a persons bio with pronouns I already know they're bat shit crazy. Apparently now theres 100 genders too SMH.

For people that are supposed to be liberal or tolerant they are the complete opposite of that. They're the most dogmatic people in the world and anyone who doesn't conform to their ideals is a monster. How is that any different from religious extremism? I get the whole live and let live philosophy that we should all adopt in life but a line has to be drawn somewhere, and we should all be allowed to air our opinion on certain things as long as its not inciting hate or violence against others whether they agree with it or not. Everyone has that prerogative.


I hear transgender "women" have been smashing female records in athletics in certain places. Any woman who condones such madness is an enemy of women, period. No woman will be able to compete ever again. Why not just create a whole new category for trans people?
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 7:00am On Oct 31, 2019
This is the right time for the GS bandwagonners to jump ship, because this dynasty is well and truly over. Get ready for years, or even decades, of mediocrity. GS is the new Memphis Grizzlies.

I still want to believe it's the new 'cool' and a fad that will pass as time goes on.

You're right. I'm yet to see any rational person with pronouns on their bio. Just mess with one and you have unlocked an army of killer bees in your mentions

Basically you're whatever gender you want to be depending on the side of the bed you woke up from.

The tolerance starts and ends the minute you disagree with them on issues like these. You automatically become a phobe of some sort.

Something as trivial as the use of a bathroom which is just common sense

You would definitely be labeled a transphobe like I and a lot of other people were when we suggested they have their own Sports. They will argue that society segregates them enough and their laughable analogy is always the dead giveaway as to how these guys are completely clueless on all things Sports

You mostly find the Firebrand Feminazis who display misplaced allyship in that boat. So that they in turn also reciprocate when they go full misandry mode.

That's why they and Beta men always unite to attack their common enemy the Hetero man at any given turn. Always hilarious to see

Can't see this team making the playoffs. And that will be a huge stain on Steph and Steve Kerr

It's a code I can't get jiggy with sha. Unless it's your brother or in Amanda Nunes's case your spouse then I don't see the point of it. In DCs case he went to pick up two losses to Bones and in Romero's case he can't make weight in his division even for title fights. Makes zero sense that you're the only one sacrificing your career for said 'friend' (worked out for DC to be fair)
I don't necessarily agree with it but the point is it does exist and i can respect it. These fighters are human as well. Reminds me of the Tom hardy movie, warrior i think is called.

Dana White does not care for fight fan purists. He is always after what would bring in the most casuals. An Izzy vs Romero fight will bring in more casuals plus Romero is a credible challenger. It's a fight I wouldn't miss
Yes, Dana loves his super fights but the one thing about the ufc and mma in general and one aspect it surpassed boxing is that the best always fight the best, their matchmaking is usually impeccable. The UFC usually gives chances to people that deserve bar tony who will get his chance next. Thats why boxing needs to get rid of all these bodies and have one belt for every division.

I won't sell Cannonier so short but the thing I like about Izzy is this is the 3rd straight fight he's showing me something different and something I've not seen before. It's a sign he is getting better
I agree the kid is special, hes a lot better than i thought.

That is the angle you are viewing it from. All I'm saying is a suspect chin can be hidden but exposed the higher the quality of guys you fight. Age and attrition can wear down your chin (cc Spider) but for a guy like Weidman it's clear beyond reasonable doubt that he had a glass jaw and only got exposed as he went along

Whittaker doesn't have or might not have a glass jaw same way George Foreman did not have a glass jaw as people wildly erroneously thought. Anyone can get caught in a fight, it's the frequency that determines like in Weidman, Arlovski or Overeem's case. Not just one fight
I'm just saying the hook that put him down doesnt compare to the bombs he survived from yoel, people raved about his granite chin and against israel that chin looked suspect.

Fair enough. It could be so. However you have to consider that most of these fights actually get won and lost in the latter rounds. He slowed down against Costa (I thought Costa won that one easily don't get the outrage)
People live yoel and hate costa, the fight was close so people will side with yoel. But the UFC judges have been making some horrible decisions recently. Did you watch michael johnson vs stevie ray? That was the most blatant robbery i have ever seen in my life.


The more reason I need for Bones to leave LH. He has zilch left to prove. I know I will never be arsed to watch another Jones fight at LH. He's beaten every credible challenger in the division in the last decade. It's a year end, he's USADA free, healthy and still can't get a fight. No wonder he's all over Twitter mouthing off at Stylebender every other day

I agree there is a wider jump in weight than boxing but harder is a stretch. Both of Jones last two opponents were middleweights. Gastellum moved up. A lot of fighters have routinely pulled it off. Jones has the build to pull it off easily

Jones knows his fancy moves will be a lot harder to pull off in Heavyweight where a body shot can scatter all your well thought out plans at the drop of a dime. There are many older slower guys in the Heavyweight division but Jones knows the risks far outweigh the rewards

I don't want Stylebender anywhere near Bones for now. In another year and a half or so we can revisit the discussion. Right now he wouldn't stand a chance
Funny thing is i dont think he hates israel. Jones just looks at him and sees money. Jones is a friggin socio path man, its hard to get into his head.

But the same advantage that jones has at LHW is what every fighter tries to cultivate, thats why they cut as much weight as possible to get as much advantage as possible. The UFC needs to enforce the sort of weight cut rules they have at One FC. But that being said jones is also very lanky and easily makes 205. Hes going to be fighting much bigger guys at HW but you're right he still has enough skills to do well. The margin of error becomes smaller with people like Ngannou but he should be fine. For me heavyweight or not, i will always watch jon jones if only to witness his greatness.

Joel and his antics. I saw the game and fight..hmmmm, should I even call it a fight? It was more like a scuffle, a level higher than Gianis v Smart last night. Embiid has a bad rep in the league and people will go at him because he is not a good loser especially with his mouth. I just feel bad for KAT though, the stigma about his past with Butler will always be a trigger for him and I bet you Embiid mentioned something related to that.

Embiid used to be funny but he has crossed the line too many times and now he just comes across as a shameless bully. I'm really starting to root against the uncouth scoundrel. I hope he never escapes this picture. Friggin cry baby!
