NBA just announced investigations of Philly and OKC for sitting players....
Do they realize the Utah Jazz are also an NBA team?

Holy shite. I hope to God you never have kids.

They probably forget. Honest mistake on their part.

At this point, I don’t care if his personal reason is that he couldn’t find clean socks. Let JRE drive the tank.

Doesn't bother me - not my money and it's a road game. At least he's not injured.

1. We are not sure if he is missing the game due to a childbirth. It's not confirmed.
2. We were off yesterday and we are off tomorrow. We are playing a game tonight in San Antonio, which is less than a 2 hour flight from NO. Did she have the kid on a Saturday evening within 4 hours of tip off?
3. He has missed multiple games this season for "personal reasons", "illness", "return to shape conditioning", and of course just plain injury. Playing games is just not that important to him. That's what all of this has taught him over the years and for some reason some people are ok with that. It's a horrible mindset.
4. This is an incredibly critical time for him. He's just starting to get it. He is evolving into a new type of player. He needs to be training and conditioning daily, fanatically. He still needs to lose 20-30lbs and develop leadership, if he's going to stay on this team and succeed.
5. I never said I want him to not play. He needs to play every game he can. Just play the 20-24mpg and be with the team. Sending him home or training away from the team shouldn't be an option right now. He certainly shouldn't be missing time for personal reasons.
6. The kid thing is workable and solvable. I do not know the details and its different if there were complications. But they can induce labor and manage most circumstances. He can be there for the biggest points, bounce for a bit, and return. I know tons of guys that have been in similar circumstances (like guys in the military, working out of the country/area, locked up, etc..). They make it work the best way they can..

You are making it a little too obvious you’re trolling. Do better.

You can miss over half of your work days due to personal reasons or injury and still get paid?!
I want your job.

You sound like you need to step away from watching the Pelicans for a little bit

I don't know what one has to do with the other. I don't really think Zion has much to do with this conversation. I just work in a business and believe that people should be held to certain professional standards. Missing work or commitments should not be done flippantly, especially when people have every opportunity to fulfill their obligations.

You sound like an idiot who is forced to focus on business because nobody likes you enough to be around you. Fortunately, I got a business and multiple bitches to keep me busy, along with a 16 year old daughter that is my everything.
I missed work when she was born, I missed school when my sister was born, and I'll miss whatever when my daughter has her first kid.
Grow some nuts, cornball arse dude.

Mookie Betts missing opening day for the Dodgers due to illness. What an unprofessional, fat piece of shite. Showing time after time he doesn’t care. He should have planned his illness better to coincide with the offseason.
How did I do guys? Did I manage to sound like I’m bringing the median IQ score down?

1. It's not opening day. He is missing a two game exhibition.
2. The games are in Japan and he is under doctors care with flulike symptoms. He has lost weight and very sick.
3. You didn't do good, since you missed most of the basic facts .

Are you seriously comparing your life and business to a professional basketball player? Do you really think that the two are comparable?

There is so much try hard in this it's embarrassing. You didn't address a single point I said. We don't even know Iif he had a kid. But you are defending him blindly with knowing none of the details. I'm attacking cause he always misses games, with little or not justification. Who is more likely to be right here?

“Mookie Betts struggling with illness, could miss opener.” Take it up with the espn headline publisher, buckaroo.
Posted on 3/16/25 at 2:16 pm to brmark70816
Just skimmed the report, he has already missed the two exhibition games and will have to show substantial improvement to play in the opener on Tuesday. Imagine trying to fact check and not knowing the facts. I can’t say I’m surprised since you are in fact, a retard.
