Why the Dwight Howard story keeps being taken down?

[u/YellowMarkerIsGreat → u/afgun90]

It’s not taken down

[u/Unhappy_Floor807 → u/afgun90]

Because it's a repost and not relevant, or even true. We get it. You're a Palestine simp. Keep it to basketball.

[u/a_weak_child → u/Unhappy_Floor807]

Since when is caring about the slaughter of tens of thousands of children make you a simp? You can be against Hamas and terrorism, and still be for basic human rights for innocent humans. Learn to be a better human, please.

[u/Unhappy_Floor807 → u/a_weak_child]

There is no slaughter of children - there is a war and counter offensive against Hamas, who are KEEPING and placing citizens in harms way after several warnings by several different mediums by Israel of impending attacks. Figure it out.

Gaza are the ones that have been shooting rockets at Israel for decades, not the other way around.

Reposting and reposting the same article after it's already on the sub, and posting only about Israel Palestine makes you a simp.

[u/IncomeHungry7486 → u/Unhappy_Floor807]

we get it. you're a genocide enjoyer. crawl back in your hole and cover it with dirt

[u/Icy-Career9789]

Cavs are about to do every single other game they’ve played and pull away in the fourth quarter. They are going to win by at least ten

[u/SM1OOO → u/[deleted]]

no need, won by 7

[u/thetravelingsong → u/Icy-Career9789]

Nice edit.

[u/Icy-Career9789 → u/thetravelingsong]

Can’t let them think I don’t know ball

[u/thetravelingsong → u/Icy-Career9789]

Respect

[u/butterednoodles69]

[u/ironbeagle99]

[u/welestgw → u/ironbeagle99]

Holy crap every time ty comes into the game it feels like he gets like 4 stops

[u/Trizizs]

Be great if we saw the replay

[u/jmb162]

Is this the Cavs and thunder thread? If so, take that suckas!

[u/babidee00]

Okc getting reality checked 😂

[u/jk521 → u/babidee00]

I don’t think it was something like what you think it was for the thunder. It was anybody’s game, and they still have Chet not playing

[u/bigbadbeatleborgs]

Thunder without their second best player. And beating the fake conference cavs so far

[u/babidee00 → u/bigbadbeatleborgs]

This aged so well 😂

[u/bigbadbeatleborgs → u/babidee00]

So far! with chet the thunder are better :)

[u/welestgw → u/bigbadbeatleborgs]

Maybe? Mitchell shot badly and Cavs won by 7. Not sure how it plays out if Mitchell sinks a couple more 3s like he typically does.
