Matt please don’t betray me, we support the same teams for every other sport. Do not root for the Knicks.

 

I'm rooting for the Heat out of the east. I hate the Knicks, they're just the easiest team to beat haha

 

That is just not remotely true and at no point could that ever be true.

 

it could very easily be true next round but it isn’t now

 

Anyone but Ollie

 

the only way it could possibly be true is if the Lakers were to somehow play the New York Yankees or Rangers.

 

lol

 

a bum

 

Yeah right lol

 

This guy should be the one suspended

 

Suspending Jokic would be dumb af

 

sounds like he’s the favorite unfortunately

 

They need to suspend him indefinitely. This was egregious. Borderline criminal.

 

Has Ollie done a good job in the G League? Feels like such a random, bad hire.

edit: he’s a g leave coach right?

 

Jokic technically should have been ejected last night for deliberately entering the stands as not being part of the continuation of a play (which I don't agree with). A suspension is a small possibility since they didn't kick him out. But Isbhia should have given up the ball right away.

The right call is neither should be suspended and everyone should just move forward. I can't imagine that anything other than fines/warnings will be handed out, especially with Silver as commissioner. Who knows. The NBA suspended Diaw & Stoudemire in 2007 for simply taking a step on the court after Robert Horry's cheap shot, but, again, that was with David Stern who followed the letter of the law. Jokic does have a history of being dirty though, so maybe they'll consider that like they did with Draymond.

 

Draymond’s stomp on Sabonis was also 10x worse than what Jokic did though. Clear intent to injure vs a light shove in a chaotic scene. There wasn’t an intent to hurt anyone and shouldn’t be a big deal imo. Just give him a fine and move on.

 

Yeah, this is a whole lot of nothing. Fine Ishbia too if need be.

 

KOC was sucking up to Ishbia in the replies last night, dude fully sucks lol

 

This. He wasn't ejected; suspension is stupid

 

First team

there's some old takes needs exposing

 

That's the least surprising first team

 

I feel like I went the entire season without hearing anything about Jabari Smith.
