Why would it be? It means Yes sir. Why would that be racist? Juancho is spanish


The context and the fact that it’s an English speaking broadcast in an English speaking league. You don’t switch to Spanish just because he is from Spain. He doesn’t yell Si Senior when Rubio hits a 3.

There is zero racism in that. Acknowledging foreign players? People have a problem with derogatory terms or outright insults (as we often see in the european football leagues towards african players).

He hasn't been 2020 Towns yet, started out looking awesome but I think all the time missed, injury, and mental stress has got him in a funk, he's like 12 percent off right now from his prime play. Hope he gets it together soon.

I like Towns rim running and posting up a guard in transition and then Ant actually passed to him. Good start.

Edwards is playing this 3rd quarter like an idiot. Horrible defense and can’t make any shot at all

Man JimPete loves him some Vanderbilt. Vando steals an uncontested rebound from Towns and JimPete gushes about it.

Nights like this he really hurts us, messing up the defense and missing good looks.

It is so nice to have a coach that will hold players accountable and take them out when they are playing bad/stupid (Edwards). As well as make in game adjustments. He is playing bigger lineups as well.

Saunders had so many excuses, but this team seems to be playing better and atleast fighting. Sans two of our top players as well.

Gonna need some big help from someone to win this. Need 1 to 2 other guys to step up. Nowell, Rubio, Ant, McDaniles, someone needs to get going now.

Man you really see areas where we are lacking watching these playoff teams. So many teams have like 3-4 players who can ball handle, create, finish. It is such a strength. Like they have multiple Jaylen Nowell's. There are big skills teams have with redundancy and it makes them versatile.

It is mainly out of necessity because of the Beasley suspension + Jordan McLaughlin getting COVID-19, but I really like Finch giving Jaylen Nowell the opportunity to create on-ball.

I love Reid, but he really should avoid shooting threes for a while.
