Swift and appropriate response.

It's not because of this one incident though. This latest incident just seeks to confirm what a lot of outsiders believed - whether it is all based on fact or not. Just too many accusations over the years.

I remember when heckling was considered an art form - where people actually gave it some thought and didn't resort to low blows and worse - racially tinged insults. Now it's become the equivalent of hurling vegetables at the performer.

Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!

What's your point? Utah is Mormon compared to Indiana - alright, great. So black players have bad things to say about playing the Jazz in Utah not because the fanbase is predominantly white - but because of the strong Mormon contingent? Just explicitly state your point instead of talking in...

Being on your knees at the feet of someone who gives that command is not only a form of submission but implies a "master and servant" type of relationship. Bondage and slavery implications. When said to a black man, it's easy to see how they would see it more as racially based than sexual based.

Could be, but even if he meant it to be purely sexual and not racial - he should have thought twice before saying it to a black man who could very easily take it to be purely racial. One doesn't have to be "looking hard" at all. To suggest a black man is being "unreasonable" for taking it...

You don't see how a black man would construe being told to "get on your knees" as possibly being racist?

Possibly, but that doesn't mean the accusations have no merit to them. Indiana has a predominantly white fan base and I haven't heard anything levied against their fan base.

Why do you think that is? Are you suggesting that there is some sort of agenda against the state of Utah? That black athletes are more likely to make accusations against a predominantly white fanbase? Yes, there are belligerent fans throughout the league. Racists even. Yet here we are yet...

Except we're the ones always being accused.

The number of people coming to the fans' defense and justifying their actions, if anything, further gives value to the multiple accusations from various players over the years regarding treatment from our fans. Where there is smoke there is usually fire. To now shift the conversation to...

When we went up by 10, I asked myself how the lead would be blown in a matter of seconds - and sure enough - it evaporated in a matter of seconds. Careless passes did us in. Highly frustrating game to watch.

Diggin' the Thompson and Thomson reference. Tintin is awesome.

I still think Donny's playing through some injury.

This is a tough one for me.

AB is likely glad to get away from this sinking ship. But anyone who thinks Korver is actually going to help this team is delusional. I can see it being of benefit from a financial point of view, though.

Yeah, bringing in a bum like Korver is really going to make this team better. And getting rid of AB!? WTF?!

You can't be serious. So make this middling team even worse?! Bring in Korver!? Wow.
