Nobody is picking on him because of that. In fact, nobody has mentioned anything at all about his private life - as THAT is what's normally out of bounds.

I think it's in poor taste to insinuate athletes are idiots anyway. But when you're talking about a guy that's dealt with more adversity in his 23 year old life than most, it's in exceptionally poor taste. Not to mention, it has nothing to do with whether or not he's a good NBA player or a free agent we might want to consider signing which is what I was talking about.

Not all athletes are. Just the one in question. ;)

Lyrics for Tutti Frutti By Little Richard
  • Wop bop a loo bop a lop bom bom!
  • Tutti frutti, oh rutti,
    Tutti frutti, oh rutti,
    Tutti frutti, oh rutti,
    Tutti frutti, oh rutti,
    Tutti frutti, oh rutti,
    Wop bop a loo bop a lop ba ba!...

No comment on the second sentence, but the kid having a hard life, and stepping up in times of tragedy doesn't get him placed on a "do not ridicule" list. It's terrible what happened to Thomas Robinson in his personal life. It is admirable and commendable how he stepped up to take care of his sister. But, guess what? That earns you no free passes on the basketball court. If you play like you have low/no basketball IQ, it's open season on you, just like it would be on anyone else.

Damn it all! If I were half the "abuse of power" mod that I get accused of being sometimes, I would hit both you and Tetsujin up with infractions, just for making me talk about Thomas Robinson again.

How did I know you were going to hide behind basketball IQ on this one? Is it true that Robinson is playing well since he went to Philadelphia? Yes. He's got a PER of 22.2 since he started playing for Philadelphia which is higher than Tim Duncan's on the season so I think that's a pretty fair point to make in a game thread against Philadelphia.

Sometimes stats don't tell the story. This is such a case.
 
31 point first quarter for a team that scores 91 a game.....great story. These quick guards are absolutely killing the Kings, getting to where ever they want.
 
Philly on PACE for 124 pts.

Thats fine. Cause PACE.

The dead horse? Yeah, its getting beaten pretty bad around these parts....Because PACE.

Sure, we COULD still win this game against Philly. But I'm irked that I'm using words like COULD in sentences that also contain the words WIN and PHILLY.


Because....PACE.

And how does ANY of this have anything to do with your initial post, which pretty much said we have to treat T. Rob with kid gloves because of his personal life story?

Argue stats and IQ all you like, but you threw out the straw man when you brought up his family. Just sayin'

The horse no longer even remotely resembles an equine. The bones were stripped of flesh long ago and have turned to dust.

There are lots of things to complain about with our current team execution. I personally think always reverting to "Pace" just shows laziness on the part of the poster.
 
I hope that Karl gets the motto that you can score as many points as you want but it won't matter when the other team is doing the same
