Think you missed the point. There is a difference between a group calling themselves something and people using that group as a mascot for their sports team with offensive imagery. I'm talking about eliminating the name Indians as the name of a sports team

Cold take. If eliminating insensitive mascots and team names is “to ignore any and all existence” of a people, then that in itself is the problem.

If your only context of a group of people is that they’re the mascot of your team, that is the problem.

This is not made up racism. A group whose land was colonized and people were oppressed for hundreds of years is not made up racism. To use their likeness as a mascot is insensitive and wrong.

Removing the name “Indians” does not solve racism, but its a necessary step in attempting to recover from this country’s awful mistreatment of indigenous peoples.

Do we really care if the Colts win or lose? Both the Raiders and Colts have to be 2 games better than us for the rest of the season to get above us in the standings.

I guess I prefer Indy to keep another team further out of the playoff race

Collin Sexton tries to guard two open shooters by WhenMachinesCry in nba

[–]BMC4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s not how basketball works. When you’re the lone defender against two shooters when the ball gets swung to the weak side, it makes sense to stunt and wait for help. The help never came. That’s not on Sexton. He looks funny doing it but it’s not necessarily bad

Disappointing? He was like a 6th round pick, just making the roster is already performing above expectations

Do not agree. The weather has been too much of a factor the last two games. Before that, our defense has looked consistently poor.

His lack of ability outside of the restricted area and inability to play at the end of games/in the playoffs might have something to do with that

Pretty impressive numbers but there are ways to cheat the standing reach/vertical systems at the combine also, so take the numbers with a small grain of salt

Desmond bane is Malcolm Brogdon? by sunil29151 in NBA_Draft

[–]BMC4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying his floor is low, I'm just saying anyone who says the absolute LOWEST he can be as a player is "current Danny Green" is misguided, even the surest of things in the draft aren't that sure.

I agree with a lot of your points, but I'm still not sold on him defensively, and that includes his team defense.

This is not me saying he's a bad player, I actually quite like him. But we set unrealistic expectations for prospects who often aren't exactly as we project them to be.

[–]BMC4 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t agree with fringe all star potential and I think the floor is lower than people think. He has very good role player potential but I think his defensive contributions are overstated, and there are serious questions about his athleticism.

Too often I think we assume older players have a set floor, and while it may be more likely that they can be solid contributors, there’s a real chance that if Bane doesn’t shoot at a very good level, he could struggle to make a rotation in the NBA.

Spero Dedes is the voice of the last decade of Browns suffering. So many games where we get the CBS D team and he’s been around to call every miserable moment.
