I’d think… it’s the opposite? :lol:

Why does the Twitter algo think you’re Nazis and I’m not

The Nazi reference is Very Bad.

Such an MSNBC masturbator caricature of Twitter. Do you even use the site? There's been zero uptick in "Nazi" activity, the only change is that it's more boring now. You can be liberal without rubbing yourself off to exaggerated threats because you want to pretend you're internet Indiana Jones

Go on any page on twitter and take a look at what the hordes of blue checkmarks are saying. It's all hate. Racism, misogyny, transphobia, it runs the gamut and that is the kind of content Twitter is actively pushing on people these days. Even elon himself is participating.

Hey, if you're comfortable with that kind of atmosphere, more power to you. But I'm not and neither is anyone who supports treating other human beings with dignity regardless of their racial/gender/sexual minority status.

You guys should tell Woj, Shams, Smitty, all the players who are still on Twitter. Real image problem for the league! Apparently none of them support treating other human beings with dignity. Neither do - checks Twitter, currently overrun by Nazi hordes - the ACLU, the White House, Black Lives Matter..

I didn’t introduce it, I was responding to it - and the lowly insinuation I’m “comfortable with” Nazis on Twitter. Please read the context. I will, however, make no more reference.

Playmaker.



Love how he's always attacking and pushing the pace. And picks up his man full court.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I like him. I wonder what his ceiling is. Quality backup PG? Seems good enough to get rotation minutes to me.

Apparently we should trade for Boucher too. Half the video was passes to him. :lol:

The good thing is with his height we don't HAVE to play him at PG. He could be out there Brogdon and help as a secondary creator. Or more likely be on ball and let Brodgon space and attack mismatches. Banton shooting isn't great off ball, to say the least.

Rookie highlights are better than last season's..

He doesn't have much downhill speed and looks sluggish in the open court but his strides are long enough that it works for him..

Solid defender with size and potential offensive upside.. If he can play defense and brick 68% of his wide-open threes he can be a poor man's Marcus Smart.

I really like this kid. He made such a good impression on me in a preseason game against Boston that I started following him. I think Brad stole him away from Toronto. I can absolutely see him carving out a role on this team.
What a luxury having a switchable 6’7 PG.

He’s not a leaper and he isn’t a good shooter, but he has good handle, good vision, savvy in finding ways to help his team. He’s strong and can take contact.

People are continuing to use the platform, while articulating their problems with it and looking for a replacement. (Others don't really care.) And???

Did you write this wearing Oakleys in your F-150 with a "Love It or Leave It" bumper sticker?

Honestly thought your Jahlil Okafor posts would be the silliest stuff I'd see you write.

"And???" the caricature of me for being on Twitter was stupid. You just downgraded it while pretending I'm the one being stupid.

I'm loving the Emperor's new clothes, or, wait, lots of people are still on twitter, what's the big deal??? Wait, oh, I liked Jahlil Okafor too. Oops. (Good memory for my posts, I can't remember any of yours.)

Let's see how much sillier you can get, you've already put yourself in a pretzel trying to save face.

Love how Parl censured me for defending myself but lets this other b.s. continue.

Look, they're just some open run highlights. But the competition is pretty good - you've got a bunch of legit NBA ballers out there. And our guy Banton looks GOOD. Dropping dimes everywhere. Looking like a legit 6'9" floor general.

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)
