Well maybe the fact that Andre and Brewer both got hurt will be enough to convince George to come back.

I would rather him leave than do a one and one. I’m sick of this crap every offseason. I don’t care what direction the franchise goes, but I’m tired of the annual offseason cliffhanger.

it makes the summer exciting.

what westbrook did for nick at the beginning of the game was great. nick is a true class act. one of my favorite sonics / thunders and still probably underrated for his role on the best thunder teams (and the role his decline had on the thunder's future).

Trying to build around Russ if George leaves isn’t exciting.

I've heard it used some among older folk, never with any intended racial connotation. Wouldn't impute anything.

Obviously no intent, but that's incredibly uncomfortable from anyone on TV and especially so for an NBA broadcaster.

I only meant it was cringe-worthy in the sense that I can imagine how some may take it. Again, I don’t think Brian meant anything by it.

this was the exact quote: “The Rockets are playing like someone slit their wrists and put them in a warm bath.”

Jazz down by a million. Getting a home series after the season we've had would be pretty astounding.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.
