:lol: You obviously never went to any BYU-Wyoming games in Laramie back in the day. F U BYU (the full R-rated version) chants were very very common back then and as I far as I know, the students never got into trouble. Gawd, I miss the good ole days.

That's the difference between the University of Wyoming and the University of Hawaii. We want our teams to win but don't shout obscenities because it's about the kids and families. Besides that, UH is ranked higher academically.

I'm sure a lot of nasty words from Wyoming fans were said towards Ty Detmer when he played against Wyoming. Difference is Wyoming & BYU have a nasty rivalry like a Cold War level rivalry. UW & UH have a very respectful rivalry with each other.

I thought ex-Duke players don't have potty mouths.

Warriors Rockets on ABC. Painful to watch. Just wondering when the Rockets are going to take out Curry in an attempt to stop him. Makes me think of all these adult recreational leagues that I played in where my legs got taken out from under. Mostly because people can control their bodies.

My take on the Luka AD trade is that both teams lost. Anthony Davis could really help the Lakers in the playoffs while Luka could have helped the Mavericks get out of the play in and into the playoffs. LA has four starting shooting forwards with Lebron, Hachimura, Luka and Reaves. AD would have been rim protector, mid-range and three point center, and he would have gotten a ton of rebounds. Watching the Lakers go down 3-1 to Minnesota on Sunday, I can see all the things that AD would have done as he did against the Warriors.

Minnesota has played more like the Timberwolves and not the Minnesota Timberlakes.

This is why Butler has the name playoff Jimmy. He scored the last seven points to close the game against the Rockets.

Giannis could have made the "you small" fingers gesture.

This is another reason why I'm a Houston hater more than a Warriors fan. Sengun initiates the contact and Spencer gets kicked out.

Minnesota is playing like the Minnesota Timberlakes with a shooting malfunction.

Pat Spencer has become a Warrior favorite although he's a 28yo rookie. He was selected as first pick to play pro lacrosse but decided to play basketball in Germany. He's still saving for his ejection with a $400K salary. Doesn't back down.

Will Dallas trade their first pick to Milwaukee for Giannis? They would be like the super team of the Houston Rockets of Barkley, Hakeen, and Pippen at the end of their playing days. Dallas would be as gray as Draymond Green's beard.
