So Ibaka reacted like that because Chriss said "Quit that shit".

The NBA is a joke for only suspending him 3 games

You haven't been paying attention if you thought he'd get 15 games like you wanted.

I thought 3-5 when I saw what you posted.

Wolves @ Denver should be alright.

But I was talking about on NBA League Pass for Portland/LA....not on TNT.

Wolves are awful on the road, and Nuggets are almost unbeatable - It might be ugly.

I didn't get League Pass this year...but likely will next year.

Derrick White is the gift that keeps on giving.

It will be a real shame if he doesnt make at least 2nd team NBA all-defense and get some Most Improved Player votes.

He might even be better at defense than Murray at this point. And that is saying something.

The Spurs seem unable to stop anyone when he doesnt play.

11-1 in last 12 games he started.

I am not even sure what they should do once Murray comes back.

Dejounte Murray or Derrick White...... great problem to have finally have in SA.

This will surely be investigated.

If the fan's side is accurate, then Russ needs to get suspended for multiple games. If his comment to "sit down and ice your knees" caused Russ to threaten him and his wife, then Russ is 100% in the wrong and he can expect more fans to bait him in the future.

Maybe I am missing something, but on Russ' side, how is "get on your knees like you used to" a racial thing? Homophobic I can see. But racist? Am I missing something?

Also, the Fan's side of the story seems more believable to me. Especially considering that Russ was literally sitting out with ice packs on his knees when the exchange took place.

It is also very possible that Russ misheard the fan.

Heckling has been part of pro sports for as long as I have been alive. When it crosses the line, the fan in question should be removed and possibly banned. If the NBA is wants to make rules against heckling in general, then go for it.

In the meantime though, Russ needs to get thicker skin and focus on the court. He is a public figure getting paid 30 some million a year to play basketball. He is always going to be heckled by opposing fans. Especially now that he has shown they can get under his skin.
just wow.

not surprising this is your take.

Superbowl or bust

Basically you can see Dorsey is looking at a three year balls to the wall push until Baker gets paid ala Russell with Seattle.

Not having to pay the QB big money is a huge advantage. And they have a good RB on a rookie deal and their best corner and pass rusher. I mean those are high dollar roles.

Make it rain on free agents and then hope you can find good draft choice steals to build depth next few years
