If the player knew a rape was taking place (assuming it did, I was not there) and he did nothing to stop it, then yes, I think he takes a lot of blame.

Vucevic is the most improved player, not blatch.

Only one thing is certain. Blatche has made a career out of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Except for when it was time to sign that ridiculous Grunfeld contract extension.

“I don’t think Kurt did anything wrong by posting this story. He simply relayed the information that other outlets have reported. He cautioned his readers to not rush to judgment. He didn’t speculate on who it was, or anything like that. What’s the issue here?”

This is sarcasm, right? Lmao

Early reports say it’s Andray Blatche.

I agree with csndrew. The two previous posts are extremely nitpicking and even a little bit biased. This article is only information that is already available elsewhere.

Sure, there are sometimes spelling errors and other things that make you facepalm on the PBT at times, but this really isn’t one of those… so I’m pretty lost.

And its being reported that Blatche is the one being questioned, although he’s not the actual suspect.

kurt is ok here. just reporting what other news outlets have reported. thats what NBC sports talk does. i think in this case, the reason some are not happy is because curt is consistently hyper critical of the nets.

As long as Kurt tells us not to jump to any conclusions, he’s cleared to go ahead and print anything he wants, right? If a conclusion is drawn, that’s on US, not him; so he’s covered.

Have you seen the outrageous amount of viewers PFT gets! I get all stoked when one of these articles reaches 20-30 comments…PFT gets that in it’s first 30 minutes of the article being posted! Their “thumbs up/down” reaches in the hundreds, even thousands.

Hell yeah that seems like the motive for Kurt to put out a half-ass story. But then again he wants us to hear it here first so he quickly puts it out so we stay informed. I’m cool with that. PBT isn’t really formal and kind of has the feel of an NBA junkie hangout spot. I like that, that’s why I keep coming back to this site everyday.

It was Andre Blatche and he was in the suite where the alleged assualt happened in the bedroom. He is playing tonight and also posted on his twitter he was questioned.

If a player IS involved, he should just buy out her silence and then give his wife a $4 million ring to smooth things over with her. Then no part of it will seem suspicious and history will look back on the incident as if it was her fault because obviously she set the whole situation up to make money.

“This may not be the player himself but an associate (not that it in any way excuses the player, if this did indeed happen).”
__________________________

What the heck does this sentence mean? That even if he was in no way involved it’s still the player’s fault? A sentence or two before that it says the player wasn’t even in the room when the alleged assault happened. But the rush to judgment can’t be held up, apparently.

You’re so right. I read this and thought whyTF would they report this. But it’s all about click-thrus with this site. Just b/c of the headline this will be the highest click story over the next 24 hours (unless we learn more). Kurt knows this. He also knows that it’s a greater chance that someone clicks on their sponsors ad. That, and that alone, aboogy is why Kurt posted this.

Not cool, Sandusky. Don’t make assumptions about which player commited a rape we don’t even know happened.

You know next to nothing of what really happened yet you feel comfortable judging a random person? Doesn’t this comment say more about you than anybody else? And let’s be honest… you’re here to talk about yourself.

Wow. They said don’t jump to conclusions and you took a straight nose dive. Not every nba groupie is out for money. And no still means no. And if she was looking for a payday she probably would’ve claimed rape by the player and not his “associate” who is more than likely a freeloading bum, friend, cousin or brother or whatever. Why don’t you wait for all the info before making stupid comments to offend women like myself who also enjoy this site.

Writing this article only makes the nets look bad, and based on the evidence there’s no reason to think a Nets player actually did this. You say don’t jump to conclusions, but then you write an article about this? Profootballtalk waits until they have real information before writing things.
