AROUND THE NBA THREAD. NOV 2021 edition

Raptors are good at identifying athletic wings in the 6'8" range who have basketball skills that can improve.

 

HOLY SHIT! So we don't even have the luxury of being the youngest team in the league anymore. Remember those days?

 

Player of the week the washed Lillard?? So he is not finished?

 

Did Dame just win Player of the Week?

 

Not to pick nits but your wife wasn't actually on the team payroll when she did that to you!

 

Yes him and Giannis

 

This is what I was thinking, as well:
Boxing: OK
MMA: OK
WWE: OK
Regular Wrestling: not OK
Football: not OK
Baseball: not OK
Hockey: not really OK
NBA: definitely not OK

This is not a "basketball move", period. He'll get a fine that'll amount to $5 in you and me money, missed 2 games, say he's sorry.

Im all for LeBron to …..go through some things.

Like many Steven Adams-like screens

 

Man I just saw that Serge Ibaka is playing in the G league...Chief I don't think even has a contract since the Spurs waived him....there are a ton of players available for nothing these days.

 

Lebron James Slammed After Ejection For Cheap Shot Punch On Isaiah Stewart.



This is a great breakdown of the video.

 

I'm glad you think this bullshit is a "great breakdown". This dude is a total douche bag. This idiot claims that LeBron looks directly at Stewart before punching him in the face and then proceeds to show multiple angles of LeBron not looking directly at Stewart until after contact is made. This asshole doing the breakdown calls LeBron a "bitch" and a "bitch made athlete". Way to find an unbiased breakdown.

 

Put on your glasses. LeBron clearly looks at Stewart before he swings.

 

This is the silver lining in all of this bullshit... not Stewart's suspension but Woj using the term "roughhousing". Very funny.

 

I actually have my glasses on. LeBron is looking towards the baseline when contact is made, then directly at Stewart right after contact... when the fucking swing starts he's looking at the opposite sideline. Where are you even coming up with this shit? Don't get me wrong, it's not surprising, you called that bullshit a great take.

 

Fun fact: The Pistons play the Lakers in L.A. November 28th.

That could be an interesting game to watch.

 

As someone who has done what I’m about to say many, many times before …

It looks to me like they’re jostling for positioning. Once the ball is clearly headed thru the hoop LeBron looks to see what is still grabbing him and then tries to aggressively swat it away, accidentally hitting the dude in the face. He meant to dislodge his arm, not his nose. He immediately realized that he got more than arm and was apologetic.

I never popped someone in the face accidentally. But I’ve definitely swatted peoples hand and shît like wtf don’t touch me.

and doing the “get off me arm flail” as I call it ppl get hit all the time.

He was frustrated. I think he was trying to be aggressive and forceful. But hit the wrong target.

one game seems fair.

 

Isn’t it pretty much impossible with the new technical suspension rules and stuff?

personally I’d love to see someone go after it if they weren’t a blazer. It’s entertaining to say the least.

 

Rumor is most teams had him either undrafted (medical red flag) or 2nd round. Think the Nuggets and maybe a couple other teams were the only ones to clear him.

^ This is purely from memory, so could be complete bullshit.

 

Ok so NBA suspended LeThug for one game. Just imagine if it’s the other way around. How many games Stewart gets?
