He played it off pretty well
love it
Houston (5-2)
Pace: 100.8 (1), Off: 103.1 (4), Def: 99.6 (19)
With four talented rookies and expanded roles for Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik (who actually plays offense when asked), the Rockets were already going to be fascinating to watch this season. Now, they've got Royce White's beard and James Harden's beard on the same team. Have you ordered League Pass yet?
LOL
Other than having a bunch of young guys who can only get better (and Carlos Delfino)? The fact that you can still add another max player or 2 very good high level guys? We don't have to roll out another 9th place overachieving yet underachieving team? Nah, no optimism at all
Kevin Martin has to be on the same diet as Nas and Allen Iverson. Dude looks pretty much the same as he did when he came in the league.

Jeremy Lin called Scott Machado to wish him well in his future. He thought he was calling Jeremy Lamb

That is incredibly ignorant.
This is the same kind of ignorance where people look at guys like JJ Barea, Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Ricky Rubio and Nikola Pekovic and label them as "white guys."
It always irks me when I see black dudes with this kind of attitude when there are blacks in a minority, and stereotypes everyone as non-black.You just sound racist when you call them pale.
JJ Barea is Puerto Rican, Shved and AK47 are both Russian, Rubio is a Spaniard, and Pek is from Yugoslavia.
You want to go ahead and label them as international, fine, but for civil rights "activists," to call the look of the team "disturbing," because of the lack of black players is idiotic.
Idiotic. If anything it's increasing the diversity of the game. How is having a team full of black men diverse? You have guys from all around the globe on your team, taht's about as diverse as you can get. Throw Nowitzki, Parker, and Ginobili on that team and it's an All-Interational team.
I'm sure 99% of Latin Americans would LOVE to be able to pass as "White."
I count five white guys on their roster. Maybe I don't know my races, but Greg Stiemsma, Kevin Love, Ridnour, Lou Amundson, and Chase.
Sure, they have more white players than the average team, but so what?

Anybody check out the new episode of One on One with Ahmad? I really hope Brandon Roy is able to have a successful comeback, it's clear he'll never be close to what he once was, but I hope he can settle into a leadership-type role and find happiness.
Got to see him play live last week, great to see him back out there.

It's not important, and this Terrell dude is a jackass, but just because those guys are European doesn't make them not white. You counted 5 American white guys on the team, not 5 white guys

You can debate back and forth about Europeans being white, and I see your point, if they want to go ahead and label all those guys as white, then that's fine. It gets messy when you have guys like Tony Parker who are French, but have African-descent in their blood.
But to those idiots, it's more of an issue of non-black, more than white. That's my only problem with the article, and you're right in that it's not important. It's silly how we try and say we're over racial barriers, we don't see colors, when there's still issues like this, or the whole Warren Moon crap. Maybe it's because race is still on the hot seats in many parts of America, but it's just annoying to still read crap like this.
If you had a group full of 15 skinheads with swastikas tattoo'd on their foreheads coached by a dude with a Hitler mustache, and their GM was a white supremacist, owned by an Aryan, okay, that's worth writing about.
But Chase Budinger? Lou Amundson?
I'm glad the article points out they tried to sign some other guys but it didn't work out. But then they'd probably try and throw a wrench and say Nic Batum is white too.

Whoever made this knew the Lakers were trash so they had to include Clippers as well to make the Lakers look better.Wouldn't surprise me if at least 3 or 4 of these guys would start for the West all stars :x

Rockets f---ed up. Harden is not worth Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb, and two future picks. Kevin Martin is almost as good as Harden right now and Jeremy Lamb is gonna be serious in a couple of years.

Yo far and away the dumbest thing in the history of civilization is race, and racism. We're all the same. Who cares if someone is a different color than you? It doesn't get much pettier than that.
That's literally like saying "Oh I don't like him because he wears red tee's all the time and my favorite color is blue" But I forgot, they do that too...
Anyways, hyped to see O.J. tomorrow night on primetime He hasn't had an opportunity like this since he's been in the League.
