Official NBA 2016-2017 Thread - 30 teams, 1 goal. 2 weeks left, so much can happen!!
I supported him leaving...and fans can boo.
But I'm talking as a son.
It's over don't continue to provoke cause they had your mother in tears.
And she is really the mvp for life cause she spoke to Westbrook and his wife after the game.
I just don't want that Black mother being harassed.

He basically trotted Sprewell, Wilkins and Wallace out there like show pieces! Pimped the fuck out of those fools and even arranged a courtside interview for Sprewell to deflect from that Oakley bullshit! Sad thing is, people will buy this nonsense too... Fuck Dolan
Naw they aint falling for it...
Jalen was KILLING Dolan on ESPN called that cac DEVIOUS!
You are right bro; he only needs 15mins a night and thats it; but if zaza can give them another 15-20 and west can fill the rest, they are more than good; plus they have green for like 7 mins at the center; so it almost works perfectly for them...
Spike Lee calls James Dolan-Charles Oakley incident 'insanity'
Knicks fan Spike Lee was in tears when he saw Charles Oakley handcuffed in a hallway behind the court at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night. The film director on Sunday called the Oakley incident "insanity" and questioned owner James Dolan's decision to suggest Oakley had a drinking problem.
"I mean, how can you say somebody is an alcoholic? You just can't, in my opinion," Lee, speaking to a small group of reporters, said Sunday at Madison Square Garden while wearing an Oakley jersey. "And even if the person was, why would you say that? I don't know why you would say that. All I can do is wear my jersey."
Oakley was ejected from the arena and arrested Wednesday night after a scuffle with security. The Knicks said Oakley was behaving in an abusive manner toward security. Oakley denied it. Dolan has banned Oakley from the arena indefinitely.
Lee, a lifelong Knicks fans, believes that the Knicks' treatment of Oakley -- coupled with Phil Jackson's direct and indirect criticisms of star Carmelo Anthony -- will hurt their recruitment of free agents.
"Who's gonna come here?" Lee said. Earlier in the week, when asked to pick a side in the Jackson-Anthony feud, Lee told ESPN-Tencent that he'd help Jackson pack his bags.

Latrell Sprewell and other former Knicks sit with owner James Dolan
Latrell Sprewell attended Sunday's New York Knicks-San Antonio Spurs game as a guest of the organization, sitting next to owner James Dolan, four days after fan favorite Charles Oakley was physically removed from the arena and arrested.
Sprewell and Dolan had long been at odds. Sprewell, who helped lead the Knicks to the Finals in 1999, screamed obscenities at Dolan in his first game back at the arena in 2003, following a trade from the Knicks to the Minnesota Timberwolves, leading to their icy relationship.

3:46 PM - 12 Feb 2017 · Madison Square Garden
Johnson, a Knicks employee, told the New York Daily News that he was conflicted about attending Sunday's game after Oakley's arrest on Wednesday.
Two days after Oakley's arrest, the Knicks announced that he was banned from Madison Square Garden indefinitely by Dolan. The owner suggested in multiple media interviews that Oakley has a drinking problem, which Oakley denied on Saturday in an interview with the New York Post.
Knicks fans peppered the arena on Friday with chants of "We want Oakley" and "Free Charles Oakley." Dolan said that the organization ejected Oakley because he was being verbally abusive to security. Oakley was charged with three misdemeanor counts of assault for striking Madison Square Garden security and one misdemeanor charge of trespassing.
The reaction to the club's handling of the Oakley incident has been largely negative.
Asked about the Oakley incident on the ABC broadcast, Sprewell called it "disappointing" and "unfortunate" and that it was time to "iron it out and get past it."

Saturday shows why Kevin Durant left Russell Westbrook
OKLAHOMA CITY -- It was the longest conversation the two superstars had engaged in since Kevin Durant's departure. At the time, the Golden State Warriors were up 18 on the Thunder with 4 minutes, 25 seconds left in Saturday's third quarter.
Following a Victor Oladipo 3-pointer, Durant had some words for Russell Westbrook, who simply answered his former teammate with, "I'm coming!"
That miniature exchange exemplified Durant’s frustration in playing alongside Westbrook for those eight years with the Thunder. It was always, “I’m coming. I’m coming.” Meanwhile, the team wasn’t going anywhere.
Westbrook poured in a game-high 47 points to go with 11 boards and eight assists on Saturday. However, he turned the ball over 11 times, and the Warriors exited Chesapeake Energy Arena with a 130-114 victory.
Durant registered a team-high 34 points and nine rebounds. He’s averaging 37.7 points against the Thunder, and the Warriors are 3-0 against them on the season.
Durant and Westbrook were never the best of friends. They were good teammates, similar to good neighbors. It seemed Westbrook wanted the numbers; Durant wanted the wins.
It was always an internal clash, piled on top of the 82-game clash with the opposition. Their objectives were different, and for that reason, the pairing could no longer go on.
“He plays for his team, I play for my team,” Westbrook said. “Let him do his thing, I do my thing and that's it. Plain and simple."
On this night, Durant wasn’t shouting, “I’m coming.” He came and went with the victory. A divorce was necessary.

Right fuck presti; he fucked up no doubt; but he was doing the bidding of his owners; they didnt want to pay luxury tax so fuck OKC; I dont think people were like wtf with steph; actually GS won on that deal; and the funny thing is that deal is one of the direct reason why GS was able to get KD

THEN FUCK THE OWNERS OF OKC including the one that got caught up in the shady ass oil business and killed himself in his truck on the highway.
Damn.... that's way harsh bruh?!?! WWJD?

I caught that
This muthafucka is dumb as hell. Just like Trump. Nepotism babies.
Like people couldn't see through that shit.
See they like me
Spree played himself... Vin Baker said Dolan reached out to him to come to the game today as well. He rightfully passed.
He just trying to feed his family
He wouldn't crash his truck on the highway cause the fuzz was closing on him.
Had a fresh hairdo and everything.
Played himself big time.. but niggas need that check lol
This Greg Oden piece is interesting. Dude is still only 28. Dude looked 48 at 16.
I wonder if Portland having him gain weight so fast had to do with his knee injury.
Trying to change his image
and probably wants to secure a future financially
You see his commercial. He played himself in that.

Ole yellow eyes ass Nigga
It's not that. He jumped on a team they led 3-1 and lost.
Why you always find yourself in here to yap slick shit? You should be the last nigga saying anything because not for nothing and Bron my nigga but let's not act like he ain't leave Cleveland
That to me is the REAL story.
Shouldn't we be concentrating more on that?
Cause the same way we went in on Steve Harvey, Kanye etc. This almost just as bad.
Cause yes there is a racial aspect that's obvious...what about being on the same team?
The goes against DECADES of all that locker room loyalty bond bullsh*t
I understand LJ a little bit...that man signing checks and he went out of his way to try and defend Oak.
Not only is it NOT the same...Durant went out of his way to publicly denounce Lebron when it happened.
So he gotta get this work....within reason.
Wow...
Spike Lee wife saying legally Oak can sue for defamanation of character.

Pelicans set a precedent for the rest of the league tonight by trying to push Cousin's buttons to get a technical. Another 1 game suspension
