Grizzlies staff member tackling Brooks to prevent him from doing something stupid. Can we get someone to do the same when Luka is getting into it with the refs.

Does Luka think he's supposed to get every freakin call?  If someone blows hot air on him, he's supposed to go to the line?  He already goes to the line 8-10 times a game.
Don't get me wrong, I love Luka's game, he's the closest thing to unstoppable. But he must think he's still in the Euro league, getting every whistle.  He even complains when he commits a foul, justified or not.  It's getting old.

Huh  EuroLeague is much more physical than the NBA and when Luka got called for a foul for splitting Pleiss´ face in half, he still complained.  Big Grin

Ok, fair enough. The problem lies with him.

What is going on lately? Starting to look like 80's basketball.

Is there such a thing as an app that translates River-ese to Englsh?

Sounds like Rivers is agitating to make this an even bigger war. I think he will wish he hadn't sent this -- his ego is going to end up costing him a lot of money here, I would think.

These dudes sound so butthurt.

I wonder what Rivers and/or Bamba said to get such a visceral reaction. In any case, it is a little bit entertaining seeing the lanky Bamba tussle with a guy almost a foot shorter than him.

Really nice win by PHX last night in Boston.  Bridges has really stepped up his game.  

After a real tough stretch where they appeared to be non playoff bound, they have re-stabilized and regained a footing.  With Booker back soon, they are probably a good bet for a top 6 in the West.   Pretty impressive without Booker and an creaky Chris Paul to tread water for the most part.

Their swoon coincided with injuries to their rotational players.  Booker, Ayton has missed time, Payne, Paul, and Johnson has been in load management on B2B's and Shamet is still out.  They get the band back together, they'll make a push.  The West is fluid except for Denver who seems to have it locked down for now.

KP with 38 tonight but they lost to the nets with Cam Thomas dropping  44

Jalen with 35 on 12-15 shooting.  Which is fine but we will see what he can do against a team with length like the clippers.

Looks like the wanted to be-Mavs are trying to ruin a perfect night with their 60/15/13 on 70% shooting. Undecided
