Fck Diva. He can kiss my ass after yesterday. You wanna whine to the press, be my guest. But to cause the ruckus he did going after Rick Brunson (wasn't Diva Jalen's best man at his wedding?) was stupid.
Can you help me to understand what I am missing from the context of last night's game that was so out of line please? I know the internet was being the internet and initially reported that Donte said "Thanks for the trade Thibs" but once we found out that he actually said "He can't finish, right Thibs?" after finishing at the rim what is the problem? I assume it was a comment about the scouting report since we all watched Donte blow shots at the rim last year.
Was the problem that he was talking with the bench during a pre-season game? Was it when he said "That's what happens when they let you run the show"? Was that a reference to Rick Brunson or someone else calling shots behind the scenes? Was Donte talking about how he is able to have more offensive responsibilities in Minnesota now?
At the end of the game the only person that was upset was Rick Brunson. Not Donte. Not Jalen. Not Mikal. Not OG. Not Othella Harrington. Just Rick. Do you know why he was upset and why is it **** Donte now? What am I missing? I feel like I missed some video clips or some interviews or the internet is just being the internet again.
I hate everyone who doesn't play for the Knicks. Sorry his feelings are hurt. Make a scene in public then you have to deal with their response. He wasn't acting like a grown man. He was acting like a bytch. He gets treated like one then. If I was a Minnesota fan I would defend him. I'm not. Keeping it real.
I don't give aid and comfort to the enemy. Period. Donte acted like a bytch at the FT line where everyone could see. You think that's cool? I don't. Rick didn't. We don't even know what Rick said to him but, we know Donte was throwing verbal jabs at his friend's dad and OUR TEAM. Puffing up while he was far enough away not to get knocked tf out. Bytch made. He brought this on himself running his mouth like that.
This is a business. Players know that. It sucks he was traded but, he acted like he could say and do whatever he wanted. Apparently Rick didn't agree. Then he played tough guy knowing he could get away with it. Donte is not innocent here.
If he wants to act like a cry baby, he can deal with the heat he brought on himself. Acting like he was joking? He wasn't smiling when he ran his mouth. Did I mention he is the opponent now? Thanks for the memories. That doesn't give you a free pass to disrespect my team. End of story.
Lol, didn't you overreact when it was first reported that Donte said "Thanks for the trade Thibs" calling him a liar when he said he didn't say that? Later it was shown that he actually said "He can't finish, right Thibs" after finishing at the rim something he struggled with at times on the Knicks.
"Thanks for the trade Thibs. That's what happens when they let you run the show" makes sense together.
Finishing at the rim and then jabbing Thibs about the scouting report saying "He can't finish, right Thibs?" makes sense.
"He can't finish, right Thibs? That's what happens when they let you run the show"" doesn't make sense to me. Can someone fill in the blanks for me. I'm lost.
For all I know that little conversation at the free throw line was no big deal and then the teams went into the lockerroom at the half, checked their phones and saw what Donte supposedly said about Thibs trading him and Rick felt the need to confront.
Does anyone actually know what the hell happened or is it just all pure speculation?
