Can't believe the regular season starts tonight. Just seemed like the Finals ended a couple weeks ago.

Philly vs Celtics: 6:30PM CST TNT

GSW vs Lakers: 9:00PM CST TNT

It will be interesting to see if Amazon is still in the running for the exclusive rights deal. If the NBA wants to stand by it’s strong convictions I couldn’t imagine them supporting the website that the antisemitic link directed you to.

Should someone not make a tweet referencing the Bible? That contains rules about owning slaves.

What about the owner and his possible ties to cultural genocide of which

there’s no record of Joe Tsai declaring his opposition to the reported crimes against humanity in Xinjiang.

Quite the double standard.

Do tweets about the Bible piss off a huge segment of Nets fans/the public at large? Because that's what is getting Kyrie suspended by his employer here.

I would like to see Kyrie Irving tell the NBA to go **** OFF and quit.

I'm a bit surprised he didn't quit the league and become a monk or some other lunatic nonsense years ago. Guess he likes the money too much.

Now there’s an unexpected twist. Turns out Kyrie really does value his money more than his pride.

Well that doesn’t sound like a staged apology at all.

I’m sure flat earther Kyrie wrote that, no doubts whatsoever . . . .

Kyrie’s agent likes money too.

Listening to Kyrie interviews lately is what I imagine it would be like to sit next to some stranger on a 26 hour Greyhound bus ride to Cleveland and hear about their worldview.

Miles · 11-03-2022, 10:53 PM

A bit surprised Kyrie finally apologized.

Yeah I am shocked he apologized.

The Warriors are resting Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins tonight in New Orleans. Fifth game of a five-game road trip. Second night of back-to-back. In danger of going 0-5.

Not sure how the NBA can ask their fans to take the regular season seriously if teams are doing shit like this.
