We're up 8 games in the East. My feelings are to sit out key players every now and then after the break. Similar to, of course SA. We don't need our five starters logging big minutes vs. Orlando. We can beat weaker teams with three starters and our bench...

No you're not.  It's 2002.

Yeah I'm too old for that... I was barely out of college... Lol

Guys came out hard after ONE loss forever, and put it to a good team. Character...

You don't have to wonder.  There wouldn't have been because:

 

(a)  Deng is not of German, French, Jewish or Australian ethnic heritage and therefore you don't have the direct link between the stereotype and the person (i.e., someone from Sudan and Egypt being described as a dishonest, two-faced person due to the "African in him"); and

(b) You don't have the history of racial issues as a backdrop with those ethnic groups.  Germans, French, and Australian people do not have a history of being portrayed through negative stereotypes in the US and Jews join them on the list of having little to no significant history of being discriminated against in the US. Obviously, the backdrop for African-Americans is very different from slavery to the more recent "I Can't Breathe" issues of racial profiling/abuse. 

 

It is precisely because of the racial history that issues involving African-Americans are so much more sensitive in the public eye than other issues.

 

Second on that list would have been a comment with a Jewish stereotype because there is a history of those types of comments but in light of the smaller population of Jews, the relative wealth of Jewish Americans, and the positive history of good opportunities for Jews in America (think % of that population that end up in desirable schools, as doctors, lawyers, CFOs, captains of industry, etc.) there isn't the same sensitivity to negative stereotyping.

That's a strong post. There's a lot of truth there....

Though I love our success half way through, I don't count my chickens... Way too many years has taught me....

What the hell? I'm so confused....

We just won 19 in a row. No other Hawk can say that in our history... I don't care who it is.

The loss was gonna come... And they"ll be more. We're not to the All-Star game yet. 19 out of 20?. Ummm... I think that's pretty damn good.

That thing is creepy! Damn....

Easiest decision the league ever made... That meeting took 5 seconds.

The guy is like fine wine... Better as he gets older. He's doing the 3 pt. contest... 3 teammates and his coach already there, let him play...I don't care if he plays 8 minutes. He deserves to be an All star.

They may think about this streak, they're not gonna talk about it. All 5 starters said that on the ESPN interview. They're gonna lose eventually, maybe two or three in a row. It's the way it goes. They're enjoying the ride....

Ha yeah that chick is a full on porn star, you know that right? Not sure if you were being sarcastic so...

Of course. Heavy sarcasm. Lol.... Dirty hot!

Probably from looking at porn stars too much! 

 

She's just a Buckeye fan! Without pants....

I feel ya...I'm nearing 40 but it feels like 60 :-(

I hear ya...I'm gonna be 39 in a few months... I think I have arthritis everywhere.

Though I know it's a defensive problem, he's good. He only plays 19 minutes a game and averages 5 points. We can adjust...

Injuries happen. It's the nature of the game. To be cliche' someone is gonna get a chance and needs to step up.

Steven A is annoying... But I didn't find anything wrong with his comment or opinion. The Cavs are hitting their stride, they're good. I think it's the only team that could beat us in a series... Although Washington has a little attention too.

85 for me... TBS showed all Hawks games. I was a young one, 30 years later, I'm still hooked...

Well I'd like to see Kyle on the actual team, I'm not complaining. Atlanta is representing.

Since Korv is participating in the festivities, he has three boys playing.... His coach is in charge.... Give him a damn uniform.

How could you make so money and look so sad?

Much

JJ wants to think if I wasn't making 25 million, I have a calf injury... He looks depressed... I'll trade ya! Lol

DMC isn't getting a huge contract. I think he'll get a good offer, especially how he is a perfect piece in this puzzle. Especially with our success so far. And theme seem to having fun... And making millions at the same time... DMC is flourishing because the system suits his game... He plays hard. Bud is giving him every opportunity to take advantage.

My favorite part of the 5 starters interview, when the question was posed "who takes the last shot?" Teague kept pointing at Kyle... Loll very shyly. Then it was like, we don't know, don't care.... Awesome.
