actually, in this context, the definition of "brother" is two males who share the same parents. it's not a "white suburbia" thing, it's a "definition" thing.

11/14/2011 1:52:56 PM

everybody refers to their half brother as their brother, especially if they have the same mom.

My point is that, only white suburbia people with two parents, 2.5 kids ,a house with a yard and a dog, would say "half brother" because they don't know any better since they are so perfect.

Dude, this is a stupid argument, but when they're reporting this in the media, if it's half-brother, they're not going to call him his "brother". Becuase he's not. He's his half-brother. It's possible he hardly knows the guy (again, i don't know the situation).

And i know multiple people who have half-brothers or sisters and call them just that, their "half-brother". My last girlfriend did. I mean, if you're 30 years old, and your mom remarries, are you going to call your new step-dad's son, who you've never even known, your "brother"? Are you going to call your new step-dad your "dad"?

Seriously? That's your argument? First off, that's silly. Second, someone asked why they referred to him as a "half-brother" in the article about this. ARe you suggesting that anytime somebody gets in trouble, and they're close to a guy on the b-ball, then the media should report ________, who is brothers with two wolfpack basketball players, was caught shoplifting (even if it's not his "white suburbia (definition)" brother?

Alright, I'm done.

"no offense, but that's a silly question."

No offense taken, it was a silly question. It just struck me as odd when I was reading the article that they made the distinction. It seems pointless to make the distinction, but then if you already knew they were half-brothers then there's no real reason not to write it that way.

I'm going to go with "I'd just finished breakfast and hadn't had coffee yet."

Bump for 2 great games so far. Kid is showing heart and hustle. He isn't nearly as selfish as he used to be, and when he is it's called for considering he is our best player.

11/22/2011 8:34:45 AM

He seems more patient and willing to operate within the offense. Very few ill-advised shots

11/22/2011 8:38:24 AM

I guess that's what happens when there's coaching.

11/22/2011 8:44:27 AM

He's playing much more within himself it seems. The extra weight is helping him finish plays he had no chance at last year. Still a few jump shots that made me cringe last night, but overall, really like what I'm seeing.

11/22/2011 9:37:40 AM

^^ yep

11/22/2011 9:39:22 AM

Come on, CJ, make your damn free throws

11/22/2011 9:40:09 AM

Ha, Carl Johnson does kinda look like Calvin

11/22/2011 9:48:23 AM

I liked how on a couple plays yesterday he took it to the hoop strong when they played the zone on us. It was nice to dump it to a big man that wouldn't just settle for the jumper.

11/22/2011 1:02:40 PM

+5 for not wildly chucking up 3's

11/22/2011 2:30:05 PM

he threw a pass so badly that it hit the bottom of the backboard

11/22/2011 2:37:18 PM

^^ absolultely my favorite play of the entire sidney lowe era!!!!!!

11/22/2011 3:50:34 PM

Hodge's tweets about hanging out with players are pretty worrying.

11/23/2011 2:39:31 AM

As long as he doesn't start doing $$$ handshakes then its all good. Pretty sure it's the low-profile guys that we never hear about that should worry you.

i'm pretty sure i'm not wearing red-tinted glasses when i say that this, in no way, compares to the unc "scandal". it's not good, especially the tracy stuff, but it's really not a huge deal. right? that doesn't make me part of the sunshine club, does it?

11/29/2011 11:18:49 PM

well at least this sounds like the end. sounds like all the investigation has been done and this is the last piece to this story...I hope

11/29/2011 11:20:45 PM

He said that he knew Tracy when he was in high school. If "he" is Leak that mean Tracy was in middle school? When is ok to help out a friend? Tracy should have ran it buy the school (Sid) anyway.

Unc NCAA violation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> than this little thing.

I'd thought that Leslie had gotten the ill-advised 18+ footers out of his system. Hopefully he just a breif relapse this game. He did get a double-double and 3 blocks, but too many stupid shots.

12/1/2011 9:46:18 AM

He's turning into one of my all-time favorite NC State players.
