    They have a lot of veteran offensive firepower.

    Is that who walked into the scene after Giannis pushed the ladder? Was there more to this that was not in this video?
    Any way i look at this he seems out of line?

    Yeah. Honestly, they were both at fault. Montrzlzlzlzl kind of initiated the incident, and Antenknekenekenpooo escalated, as he was upset. I'm going to call them M and A from now on because their names suck to type.


    Immediately after the game, A, after his worst FT shooting game, decided to put up a few practice shots. This kind of thing happens on the road often. No one really cares. M walked up, stole his ball, walked to the other side of the court, yelling at A various things. A then walked away to find another ball so he could practice a few free-throws, and upon returning, the ladder was now blocking the basket, thus leading to the video posted above.

    Lauri Markkanen is playing like Larry Bird/Dirk Nowitzki. He is really fun to watch!

    Who is Lauri Markkanen? I see a Lauri Bird that plays for Utah, but no Markkanen

    So he left the court, and the crew working the game, were able to start doing their job? And GA isn't the clown??

    Dwight Howard went to play in Taiwan so he could live his lifelong dream of playing a guard. He attempted 10 3s in his debut. :breakdance:

    If he (Dwight) wasn't such a creepy pasta, I'd be ok with the team bringing him in on a 10 day.

    Giannas' behavior was inexcusable, but adding context explains why he was that upset.

    Those ladders are very top easy to tip over if they had the wheels are locked, considering the guy is 7', it wouldn't take much to topple.

    Zach Lavine benched last night; clearly not happy w/ CHI at the moment. Does Portland go after him as a FA? Probably a poor fit on a max deal.
