    The grizzlies are younger than the raptors with a better record. Why the love for Toronto? Seems odd.

    Stewart 3-5, LeBron 0.

    Only in the bassackward logic of the NBA does Stewart get a harsher penalty than the guy who busts open his face.

    I guess Stewart was supposed to apologize for being in LeBron's world and thank him for the injury?

    Ive watched the video numerous times and I conclude, as he was falling back he cocked his arm with a closed fist and hit him in the face. Its possible he didnt intend to do so, but it landed.

    If Stewart got 2 games, LeBron should have gotten 2 or 3. In what reality are harsh words worse than a busted open face?

    His fist wasnt tightly clinched but it was mostly closed. Deliberate back hand however.

    ...semantics really, it certainly wasn't an open handed slap nor a tightly clinched boxers fist punch. But it was closed nonetheless and he was clearly trying to hit the guy. :dunno: so?

    You are officially out of your fucking mind. That dude handled that shit wrong. He knocked 2 of his assistant coaches to the ground and tried to run-through the back hall to get to the Lakers..... fucker should have got 10 games! Understand being heated, but god damn. That dude put 25 people in harms way, LeBron 1.

    Harden looks pretty average when he’s not getting bailed out by refs

    OK, I'm old. Please refresh my memory: the pick that became Stewart was originally ours - was that part of the RoCo deal?

    You don't need any refreshing. That was our pick that Detroit got Stewart with. We traded Ariza and 2 first rounders for RoCo then Houston took one of those picks (Stewart) and Ariza and turned them into Christian Wood... retaining our 2021 pick.

    Thanks. I was hoping I was wrong.
    If I needed a reason why pot should be legal, I would point to this trade! :banghead:

    Grizzlies are a bad matchup against the Jazz. They can really beat the Jazz

    The reason Stewart got more games is because of what happened after LeBron hit him in the face. LeBron initially appeared to try and apologize, then stood his ground when Stewart got aggressive. LeBron was completely out of the picture after that, and Stewart tried to go at him (or Westbrook?) multiple times, including through the tunnel. Do I think it was intentional? I’ll just say LeBron ALWAYS knows what he’s doing…
