    I thought it was 2013-14 when we had Lopez and his rebounding went up and then had those two games against Houston in playoffs.

    That wasn't anywhere near a travel. That was a fundamental behind the back dribble.

    When I look at that chart, it makes me really wonder WTF Draymond Green, Demarcus Cousins and Chris Paul are bitching about all the time. They play for three of the least screwed teams in the league and still are always whining and picking up technicals. Bitches be bitches!

    Yeah, but he hit the ground before he got the shot off. Unless the rules have changed since I was a kid, that’s either traveling or “up and down”. Argue all you want....

    You can add Doc Rivers to that list as well.

    And Blake Griffin (top 5 in technicals even though he's only played in 45 games). Both his previous and current teams are among the least screwed.

    Technicals pay for themselves all the time. You can see it during games. Just last night a Wolves player got T'd up, for something that was the right call BTW, then immediately got away with a blatant one after complaining about the T. Happens all the time.

    I definitely wouldn't pick this year. Current LMA is like the old guy at the YMCA that's annoyingly effective, but not someone you plan for.

    Until you have a key player get suspended for an important game. Then they bite you in the ass.

    OIC.

    I thought you were talking about the behind the back dribble and his hop there. I don't think the video shows definitive evidence he landed but you're right, he was damn close!

    Hey, them's fightin' words. You just compared the the Texas Turncoat to me. Although these days, I'm more annoying than effective...

    More like Leonard and LA miss the rest of the season, and they miss the playoffs, but lands the #1 pick with a .02% chance!
