Ii don't think the Suns Big 3 has played together yet. Shades of Brooklyn? KD is big-time tho, he's a problem all by himself. Beal though..this guy is fragile as hell it seems.

 

The Los Angeles Lakers' victory over the Indiana Pacers in the In-Season Tournament Final drew 4.6 million viewers across ABC/ESPN2.

The game was the most-watched non-playoff, non-Christmas Day game since 2018.

The audience for the NBA In-Season Tournament Championship Game was also up 64 percent from last season’s NBA Saturday Primetime on ABC average.

The NBA reportedly has interest in selling the In-Season Tournament to a streaming company as a separate media rights package.

 

He saw the tape of Cam and Vando on Haliburton and said

 

I know we had a whole discussion about his pettiness and how something is likely wrong with him...



... but still, f*** this clown

 

mavs should definitely sit him, i say as an unbiased observer.

actually, they should, though. decent chance they lose anyway, and you're dead without him.

 

luka will play tonight because lakers and miss the next 2-3 games. hell, kyrie will probably play too

 

of course he's playing. and i guarantee he'll miss their next game

 

lol. i really thought they'd sit him. but he loves to play lebron.

he needs to be the eventual replacement plz.

 

I think Mr. Green needs another suspension!

 

Dude has roid rage or something.
5 game suspension not enough time for 10?

 

The thing that gets me about Draymond is how smart he is as a player, making basketball plays. And then: how effing stooopid he is in hurting his own team with plays like the ones against Nurkic and Gobert. If he quickly let Rudy out of the headlock, I don't think he gets suspended. But he hung on. And no matter how much turd-polishing he does on the Nurkic play, the league already said the punitive 5 game suspension for the Gobert play had them factoring in Dray's past.

Which would seem to bode quite unwell for Draymond and the GSW. At what point will Green learn? I don't think he ever will. Someone punching him in the face and knocking him out wouldn't do it. I sincerely believe that.

 

That's going to cost him. A regular player, that's a one game suspension. His history...I don't know 3? Or do they tack on more because he's not learning?

Let's give him the benefit of the doubt regarding his post game explanation (he doesn't flop or fall, so he uses his arms and hands to exaggerate contact to get the refs attention): Dray, you know why other players don't do that? Because the proximity to other players, you go flailing your arms around and you're going to accidentally smack someone and be in this very position.

Whether he meant to or not, he's a reactionary idiot in-game.

 

it's just so bizarre: let's take him at his word and a mild arm in the back from Nurkic to "sell it' requires you flailing your arm backwards while you spin move flop? I mean if that was a foul which doesn't look like much from Nurkic it should be you falling faceward

 

He claims Nurkic was pulling his hip, even that motion... I'm not sure results in that trajectory. Not unless Nurk was trying to rip his hip clear from Dray's body. If he was trying to bring attention to the hold, those arm flailing theatrics were more likely to result in Dray getting called for the foul because refs are more likely to see reaction instead of action on those type of plays.
