    In the waaaay too early, but I can’t help myself from annoying the board “realists” category, the Blazers are 1 game out of 4th seed and home court advantage.

    I noticed that too. I’m really excited that Moda is a tough place for visiting teams to win. The road wins will come. We were 22-14 with largely the same team last season.

    I drive past the Palace every month or so. It's a car lot now.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Malice at the Palace was about players going into the stands to fight. Players shoving each other is basically "1980s Pistons."

    I'm in favor of the Lakers imploding as much as the next person, but I'm not sure it was an elbow, as much as a wrist.

    Not saying LeBron is innocent or whatever, but that reaction is way over the top.
    Tho I can't complain that someone stood up to LeBron like that.

    Vogel is on the hot seat; it's not his fault. Stotts will be beating off job opps with both hands.

    Then LeBron James now knows how it feels to be on the other end of an insane acting job.

    Lebron gave him a pretty good shot. Enough to cause sig. bleeding. It was like a backhand not an elbow. I am glad Stewart stood up to him. The rest of the debacle not so much. The league will suspend Stewart I am sure, and not Lebron.

    Anyone notice it didn't look overly heated between Isaiah "don't call me Ron-Ron" Stewart and LeBron until Westbrook rushed the scrum? Then all hell broke loose, much like when he joins a new team.

    Granted, I've only watched the small video embed.
