man shut the fuck up chuck

 

[facelike]

Welp. Let's all look at Isiah.

I just saw that. That messed up, give him some moments. Don't care that it was in the open area, some respect please.

 

[Tall4Life]

Welp. Let's all look at Isiah.

Isaiah.

But still my heart goes out for him, if he wanted to sit this game out I would totally be fine with it. I can't imagine what he's dealing with.

 

[Fjordson]

man shut the fuck up chuck

Lol what did he say??

 

[phanphare]

Lol what did he say??

he was talking about how seeing IT crying before a game made him uncomfortable

 

[Sanjuro]

Lol what did he say??

He doesn't feel comfortable having a teammate weeping on the bench before a game.

 

[Fjordson]

he was talking about how seeing IT crying before a game made him uncomfortable

Loll wtf

 

[Fjordson]

Feel awful for IT, damn.

What happened with Thomas? I walked in near the end of that segment.

Sister passed recently.

Sister died in a car crash last night.

His sister died in car accident yesterday.

Charles Barkely had 3 siblings die, he can be uncomfortable talking about IT all he wants

 

[Line_HTX]

Fuuck... My deep condolences, that is absolutely terrible.

 

[Sanjuro]

Charles Barkely had 3 siblings die, he can be uncomfortable talking about IT all he wants

We can still be comfortable calling him out.

 

[LionPride]

We can still be comfortable calling him out.

Did I say you couldn't? I ain't gonna call someone out for feelin uncomfortable talking about Thomas's sister's death and seeing him cry when that person has had siblings die.

You can call him out, ain't gonna hurt my feelings.

 

[phanphare]

Charles Barkely had 3 siblings die, he can be uncomfortable talking about IT all he wants

then he should know better

the way he framed it wasn't like it brought back uncomfortable memories, he framed it like it made him uncomfortable that IT was out in the open crying before playing in a game. reeked of that "you gotta be a man" bs.

 

[Line_HTX]

Holy crap, what is wrong with the GAF clock... It's 3 minutes behind real time and my posts are appearing where they're not supposed to be.

 

[Line_HTX]

Sometimes Charles doesn't word things well.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Barkley losses even more as a commentator than he did as a player.

 

[Sanjuro]

Did I say you couldn't? I ain't gonna call someone out for feelin uncomfortable talking about Thomas's sister's death and seeing him cry when that person has had siblings die.

You can call him out, ain't gonna hurt my feelings.

If that's what he was doing then sure.

I agree he should've worded everything better, but given context? Yeah I ain't gonna judge him

 

[Iadien]

Maybe I misheard Charles, but I think he said he felt uncomfortable for Isaiah. I don't think he meant it in the way some are taking it.

 

[phanphare]

maybe he worded it poorly, I'll give him that

 

[Gigglepoo]

maybe he worded it poorly, I'll give him that

Good thing his job isn't communication.

 

[Fjordson]

Chuck is terrible at his job and being on TV in general so the way he worded it was awkward as fuck.

 

[Sanjuro]

maybe he worded it poorly, I'll give him that

It's Barkley. It's to be expected.

I'm more surprised at TNT for handling it this way and then going to him for the hot take segment.

 

[King Tubby]

"That's how you know they think the series is gonna be bad, they put it on NBA TV."

Chuck can't not be savage

 

[Line_HTX]

I'm not sure he was calling Thomas out on it, the look on his face and everyone else was clear they were all feeling for Thomas.

 

[Gigglepoo]

"That's how you know they think the series is gonna be bad, they put it on NBA TV."

Chuck can't not be savage

Doesn't everyone say that? Hardly savage when it's popular opinion.

 

[Tall4Life]

Yeah I think Barkley just mixed up his words, the whole panel was pretty compassionate for IT.

 

[msdstc]

Fucking IT . So much pain in there.

 

[King Tubby]

Doesn't everyone say that? Hardly savage when it's popular opinion.

Not everyone says that while covering (and in many ways, promoting) the league.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

IT gonna score 60 isn't he?

 

[Surfinn]

Poor guy looks like he hasn't slept at all since the news. I hope he has a huge game.

 

[Anth0ny]

IT the biggest baby face in the NBA right now. Dude looks wrecked

 

[Sanjuro]

Wade playing linebacker.

 

[Mory Dunz]

quick, give him CPR!

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Hope IT gets a good game.

 

[Tall4Life]

Fuck yes Isaiah.

 

[Rainy]

let's go IT.

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

Damn that Blazers Warriors game was crazy. I knew Portland was gonna be a challenge due to Dame and CJ flipping that playoff switch. They get crazy hot and can't stop scoring for a while, but Warriors got too many offensive and defensive weapons on the court at any given time.
Practically any team other than the Warriors on the receiving end of that Blazers assault would have gone down in flames.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Go Bulls.

 

[Sanjuro]

Go Bulls.

 

[CreepingFear]

Go Bulls.

Yes!

 

[LionPride]

Has an athlete ever played terribly after a close death? I don't think so

 

[FZZ]

Is playoff Rondo a thing

🤔

D'Angelo Russell's play after his grandma died might have cost the Lakers their draft pick.

Playoff Rondo™

 

[King Tubby]

Isaiah going hard as fuck.
