There is a great post on Facebook that I would like to screen shot and post but I'm too techretarded.
 
Can one of you other ferners that is more able, post it?

I saw that and resisted the urge to comment....TR will do it and protect the names of the innocent.
 
Except for Electra, she's unintentional comedy gold.

Yeah that was it. Thanks. 
I hate all this being offended on behalf of somebody else. If somebody was offended on my behalf I would be offended because they obviously thought I had something that I should have been offended about.</blockquote>
 
Do you hate the 50000 people booing Adam Goodes every week because they were offended on behalf of the girl who was offended when she got turfed out because Goodes got offended at being called an ape?

Sort it when you get home, it's the internet at it's best....

Crucial

Nearing HT in Game two and OKC haven't been in front yet. Scores closing though.

In a weird reversal of narrative.. it seems like the longer the Thunder hang around, the more pressure that GSW will feel.

Hooroo

Thunder only seem to hit straps in second half from the 7 games I have ever watched (Whihc are their last 7 matches)

True.. but that is the opposite of regular season, there was a narrative about them crumbling down the stretch in games. It was a bit of a beat up... but had a grain of truth.

Hooroo

Oh right. I was wondering what you were talking about.
 
Maybe the pep talk they needed.

ACT Crusader

A little 8-0 run by the Warriors in the final minute to close out the half. Iggy providing a spark

ACT Crusader

Big 3rd by the Dubs. After 4-5 minutes OKC was hanging tight. Cut it 7. Then a huge 3 from Curry and then boom after that. It's a 20 point game. 
Not making much inroads to the deficit now.

Baron Silas Greenback

OKC will be disappointed getting a thumping like this.
But they will be happy to be 1-1 after 2.

The margin is unimportant. They got smashed by the Spurs in game 1. What counts is the away win, but they need to win both games at home to hammer home the advantage

barbarian

Yeah GSW had everything to lose tonight, and did well to keep the series alive. It will be a nice reassurance to them that on their day they are good enough to put OKC right away.
 
But this series is going to 6 or 7, so there is pleeennnnttttyyy more to come here.

Baron Silas Greenback

There is going to be an injury drama and and an ejection in this series.

Adams comments were innocent but of course offensive to Blacks because of comparisons made between them and monkeys in the past. Hopefully the Blacks will recover from this offensive moment, flush the dunny and move on. Unfortunately they are a precious bunch and like to play the victim and racism card. My dos pesos as a Kiwi living in this hyper PC country.
 
As far as segregated schools are concerned pretty sure they don't exist anymore. They might be considered segregated by liberal government types because people of certain incomes tend to live together and therefore the schools are populated accordingly. That does not mean that a Black person or Mexican or whoever has money can not live in these neighborhoods. There are moves by the Obama administration to want to force different socioecomonic groups to live together through zoning laws <a href="http://thehill.com/regulation/244620-obamas-bid-to-diversify-wealthy-neighborhoods.�"></a> They erroneously believe this is racism or the remnants of.

Bovidae

I haven't seen the game today but I expected GSW to come back hard.
 
OKC were 5-1 on the road in the playoffs before this game so are now 5-2. At home, their record is only 4-2. OKC needs to hold court at home, which won't be easy.

Yeah it's going to have some drama no doubt. It's already chippy. 
Did you see that footage of KD and the expletives at Dion Waiters
