Rondo wears a mouthpiece so even though that video appears to show spit, there's no indication at all that it would have been on purpose. Buddy deserved to get punched.

Maybe, but if I get spit in my face in that moment, I’m probably not gonna stop to think “that may have been an accident”

DorianS · « **Reply #52 on:** October 21, 2018, 08:50:54 AM »

Very true, but still doesn't mean you stick a finger at someone's face. Even if the eye thing was accidental, you are going to risk doing something like sticking a finger in someone's eye. Though considering this is Paul, I can't buy that it was an accident.

Honestly, just for the stupidity of it both guys should get 15 games and Ingram should get 30. Sticking with my 3-5 and 8-10 scenario though.

Good. They shouldn't suspend guys too long in this league, the NBA needs stuff like this.

Pistons-Sixers was p. nuts. Embiid basically trolled Drummond into fouling out of the game and Blake had 50-14-6 (which might prove Big Baby's point that CP3 is a crummy teammate).

It was so embarrassingly bad. The refs should be ashamed of falling for that shit flop. But players will continue to do it until they are held accountable.

Shouldn't do that when you play Steph the next game. He went OFF. 6th ever game he got 11 pointers, and 51 points and he only played 3 quarters. He was just hitting the most ridiculous shots at will.

Bobby Portis out 4-6 weeks with a sprained MCL

Baby Shoes · « **Reply #80 on:** October 25, 2018, 08:48:59 AM »

The Bulls seem to have the most medical issues of any team yet this year. There’s been stuff with Lauri, Zach, Dunn, this. Even Jabari had like a stomach virus or something.

Dramatic Pizza · « **Reply #81 on:** October 25, 2018, 09:18:16 AM »

Zach's been healthy this year and has scored 30 points in all four games, but DENZEL VALENTINE is out too. That's been happening for the last ten years. In the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals Omer Asik broke his leg in game 3 and was cleared to play game 4. Plus, the Luol Deng spinal tap stuff and on and on. The medical staff is awful.

DorianS · « **Reply #82 on:** October 25, 2018, 10:15:31 AM »

Apparently the Rockets are offering 4 firsts (and maybe other things) to acquire Jimmy Butler.

Think that would be a decent offer.

Baby Shoes · « **Reply #83 on:** October 25, 2018, 10:58:45 AM »

I know Zach has had a good start but thought he had a preseason scare around the same time as Lauri.

Firmino of the 909 · « **Reply #84 on:** October 25, 2018, 01:40:59 PM »

Westbrook is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is. Constantly shooting contested 3's with 20 seconds left on the shot clock. Bum.

Those 4 1st round picks would be end of the first round, so basically worthless.

See what happens when they get that damn bum Rondo out of the starting lineup? It's all startin to come together! Just like I said, Lonzo's the man to lead the Lake Show back to the top! If LeBron didn't choke on them free throws, we'd be 3-0 with him as the starter! Hope Puke Walton is taking notice!

Wow. To blame that on him would be nuts. Don't even think he was getting paid but would assume Cavs do the bargain bin coach thing now like the Suns have been doing for years. Promote some discount guy on the bench already, act like you are doing a search over the summer and hire someone else at no cost during the offseason.

Cavs situation sounds messier the more things come out.

Sounds like it stems from the GM not wanting him to play veterans as much, specifically being instructed not to play guys like Korver and JR. Lie benched them for one game before putting them back in rotation. Guess they wanted Sexton playing minimimum 30 minutes a game and he hasn’t played that much yet, more in the 25 range.

They want Larry Drew to be interim but he isn’t necessarily willing to do more than bridge the current gap without a longer term commitment. Something makes me think he was a pain in the ass when he got handed Woodsen’s team in Atlanta too.

Lamar Odom, WHO WAS ON CRACK · « **Reply #98 on:** October 28, 2018, 12:02:31 PM »

Pretty sure the Cavs said they wanted to still try to be competitive after LeBron left as opposed to tanking, so I don't get the outrage over Lue wanting to play the vets more.

Baby Shoes · « **Reply #99 on:** October 28, 2018, 12:28:29 PM »

Yeah, it sounds like a bunch of mixed signals but that's another poorly managed team that just lucked out having Lebron's personal guilt kick in the past few years. They aren't going to fall into another Lebron and won't probably be relevant until Gilbert is out at the earliest.
