NBA thread

A clear vendetta from the league against Ja. Every NBA player in the league does this motion. Steph and LeBron both did it last night. Buddy Hield did it again last night also. Where are their fines??

Sometimes, defiance is warranted.

Yeah. Haven't heard about those somehow? lol. It's total bs. He has a spotlight on him. I do wish he would try harder to distance himself from all of it, but that doesn't seem like anything that warranted anywhere near a 75k fine or really any at all. If he was in LA, it would have been interpreted as Cupid shooting arrows.

Didn't he get arrested for gun related stuff like a year or so back?

Maybe he's on a short leech

Yeah he did and he is. But I guess the point is others are doing it (ie golden boy in La) and not getting any pushback. But like I said, I wish he'd distance himself by not saying stuff like " I don't care bout that"   It just eggs them on. They could have just as easily suspended him for 20 games and really screwed their season.

No, he wasn't arrested. He was on Instagram holding a gun up, two different times. Got a ridiculous 25 game suspension for it.

The league fined him 75k for making the same shooting motion that every player in the league does. Draymond was fined 3 times less than that for choking Rudy Gobert in a game. Double standard.

By the way, in the Denver/Golden St game tonight, turned it on and Buddy Hield just did the same exact motion.

Was coming to post this. Wow.

[HOGSRUNWILD]

Bold move.  I get they have struggled, but holy shit, they still have a team that can win it all.

Ugh

[animal]

Looked like a common foul to me

[HOGSRUNWILD]

The end result turned out bad, but the foul itself seemed pretty common, just bad luck kinda.

Dumb move.

Luka drops 45/8/6/4 in his return to Dallas. Lakers win 112-97.

I wish it had been 60/16/12/8. Luka had a hard time watching the tribute video. He was never going to leave Dallas. Fuck Nico Harrison.

[HOGSRUNWILD]

I had half-heartedly hoped to get into Dallas sports, at least one of them, while I live here.  Cowboys seem like a lost cause.  Went to a few Rangers games and hope to take the boy to a few this year since he is old enough to maybe make it through a whole game.  Hockey...unlikely.  Basketball was possible as I liked Luka but now, they seem like the Cowboys.  Just adrift with zero direction and no hope.

[The Whyte Boar]

I know a lot of Dallas fans who if not exactly Laker fans now, still root for Luka and watch his highlights on Youtube.

[BASS]

Dumb move.

Yes, he's a good coach. Just because there is a better team or two, that's not his fault. It's as bad as the bucks firing budenholzer. How did that work out for them?

[Doc Hogaday]

Hiring Budenholzer hasn't exactly worked out for the Suns. They're missing the playoffs and he may be one and done in Phoenix.

[Barton Fink]

NSJ had a nice night last night. Think he put up 28 with 10 assists. Hit 5 or 6 threes.
