As I said before he’s been doing this celebration all season long. Was the game against the warriors the first game they watched ? It was only Memphis 76th game of the season.

Can’t have different rules for different players. This is an EASY WIN for the players association

To be fair, it was only Ja's 47th game of the season...

:D

Leflop cryin wolf?

...and in short order, Pods was on the floor grabbing his junk like he got sucker punched when all of the contact was much higher. Later you had Steph face down grabbing his tailbone after being lightly hip-bumped. A lot of baiting going on.

Got an elbow to the gut and acted like he'd been shot. But I was told getting hit in the liver can do that so :noidea:


The last one is pretty awesome. Dude takes a liver shot, is about to drop, opponent rushes him, he throws a desperate punch and knocks him out, then ends up on his back because of the liver shot.

No they’re not. Go ahead and suspend every other player that does it first. The nba players association is probably dying for the league to look like dumb asses and suspend him.

Mikal Bridges been doing a similar celebration for years let’s quit acting fake mad over nonsense.

Does every other player have a history of being suspended over gun bullshit?

Was every other player literally warned the night before not to do it because of that history?

Would have made the fans happier and who knows how brown looks as lead man. My bet is much better than Bridges did
That's a good point. Cannot say I see him much (just did a couple days ago) but every time I do still cannot believe NY gave up 5 firsts for him.

I gotta say, I'm a huge LeBron fan but that rolling around on the ground a little bit ago was a bit much, @Pastafazul would agree I'm sure.
Didn't see it last night but he's definitely a drama queen. Still recall in Game 7 near end when he was knocked to ground by Dray and acted like he broke his wrist....or was shot.

They all do that some but he’s for sure a leader

Those are all UFC I guess. The biggest one I remember in boxing was by Mickey Ward. He was clearly losing a fight and took a guy down with a single liver shot. One of my favorite boxers.

The prudent move would be to remove risk of injury that could derail everything. Trick is to do that without losing momentum. Turning it back on isn't quite as predictable in the 3 pt era IMO.
Exactly, that’s why im sticking with my thought that they will stay the course until seriously challenged then they will know when to let one go. I’d say that happens in the next 3 games for sure.

Hell with that....go all out for 70. Run them into ground to get it and if guys get hurt so be it. It's an iconic number and so few have done it.

You ever seen anything in Sam Presti or Coach D to indicate this kind of behaviour? Certainly not.

Never had 70 within reach. Go get it. Might never get another chance.
We both know you are being stupid. Sam Presti invented the word “measured” when dealing with anything and the coach is just like him.

what we should both know is I'm being sarcastic. To not know this without green font is...well...pretty stupid.

That team is so stacked, though, they should hit 70 without needing their regulars soon....right before they roll to an easy title. No way they don't win it all.

I can’t allow myself to go there until it happens. And yes of course you were being so obviously over the top the sarcasm was obvious. I still think they lose 1 or 2 of the next 3. The last 3 I think they could win with the g league team.
