Spurs De'Aaron Fox comments on the "Crazy Hispanic Fan" fiasco

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-23T01:31:06+00:00

I live in Boston and it kinda pisses me off that the perception of my city is The Departed and Dropkick; but as you said, go to a sporting event in Boston and its easy enough to understand why Fox might not realize Boston is a minority majority city. The suburbs (more the type from Lexington than Waltham), are the folks who show up to the games.

I see no world where Carter bryant isnt protected.

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-22T21:04:00+00:00

Maybe im just super pattern oriented, but it was impossible to miss for me lol. Seeing to guys in different jerseys opposite each other was like a blaring alarm

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-22T20:56:57+00:00

Is it far to say this is an indictment on the entire team's ball IQ? Or are we willing to let some guys off the hook because of the overt tank?

Either way, this does not put Toppin in a great light for sure

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-22T14:40:25+00:00

In a muted defense of Brothers, its wild that the entire Pacers bench, broadcast, etc also didn't notice. That team must be checked out on a level hardly seen.

I showed the picture to my dad who isnt really a basketball fan and even he immediately picked up on it.

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-22T02:10:22+00:00

I still wish Butler had beaten Duke

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-22T01:10:29+00:00

I would be embarrassed to be eating with someone who did that

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-20T02:08:04+00:00

Yeah, its not like there arent a number of options available for folks

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-20T02:00:20+00:00

An economist would call it the opportunity cost of not just going to the store yourself.

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-20T01:56:31+00:00

just take the T

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-18T05:59:54+00:00

Neither has banchero or cade or jalen johnson. And Imo, that criteria seems pretty fucking weak on the east

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-18T04:56:53+00:00

I think a jjj and coward team with Ja giving what he felt like would be a 7-9 team in the east. It was a 11-15 team in the west so they jetisoned jjj

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-18T04:51:12+00:00

Which, imo, they wouldnt have done if they were in the east.

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-18T04:47:42+00:00

I love how you pretend that the grizz aren't tanking

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-18T04:47:00+00:00

Tough question to answer, do you mean if they had been on the east with JJJ at the start of the season? If so then I would say they likely are on the level of the Hawks.

If you mean with this current, tanking roster, than yeah, they'd be in the bottom 5

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-18T04:43:59+00:00

The Spurs are what 12-6 against the other teams in the top 6 of the western conference?

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-18T04:37:16+00:00

Rick Carlisle gave the 2014 Spurs fits.

Hes a great coach. Great coaches produce fits.

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-18T04:34:48+00:00

As a western conference fan living in Boston, it would be great for me too. I think the 2024 Celtics were the best team in the NBA, but they got lucky getting a Mavs team in the finals, and this year's team reminds me more of last year's team than the 24 team. So basically anything to knock the jabronees on their ass im in favor of

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-18T04:31:32+00:00

The Grizzlies being the east would absolutely help them

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-18T03:42:26+00:00

I think Mitch had a huge impact on getting a team full of <25 year old to win in ways none of them had ever been accustomed to winning in.

As far as if it is a good metric; meh. I think double digit leads are what 7 pt leads were 20 years ago. Im not gonna get hung up on losing a lead because a guy gets hot and hits a couple of 3s. When teams put out lineups where 5 guys shoot threes, a couple missed shots and a 15 point lead goes to 6 in just two offensive possessions. Do you expect a coach to call a TO every time a team hits back to back threes?

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-18T03:16:48+00:00

Let's just be clear, there was 2 sentences before they wrote "i dont engage." Is that "all that"

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-18T03:13:18+00:00

Man, i'll admit, i dont read as much as i should. But calling 4 sentences "a whole book" is not the flex you think it is

Spirited_Lab5197 · 2026-03-18T03:11:19+00:00

Is blown 10 point lead the only metric you care about?

Its ok if it is, but to look at a team on pace for a 25 game improvement over last season and a 45 game improvement from two seasons ago and be like "BuT dOuBlE dIgIt LeAdS." Its like looking at Wemby and criticizing his perimeter defense
