Update on Little Woz. He got in trouble yesterday for trying sneak his Edwards jersey into school to wear it during recess (Catholic school so strict uniform requirements). I couldn't even be mad.
This morning at 6:00 AM he turns the TV on demanding to watch the Timberwolves. I had to explain that it's tomorrow and the time. He's annoyed they don't play at his whim.
Finally, since I was finally able to get him to understand that the Timberwolves already beat the Suns and won't play them again and they now play the Denver Nuggets, he's spent the last couple of days telling anybody he sees that the "Timberwolves are going to beat the 'chicken nuggets!"
Kid has gotten almost more enjoyment out of being a Wolves fan in his two weeks of fandom than I have for forty years. Can't wait to tell him tomorrow during the game that our new opponent has a best player named "The Joker" as he loves Batman.

Ron Artest and Ben Wallace Fight in NBA Pacers Pistons Brawl Local HD Broadcast
The "Malice at the Palace" occurred during an NBA game between the Indiana Pacers and the Detroit Pistons. With seconds remaining, a hard foul by Ron Artest ...www.youtube.com
The Palace Brawl, all I could think about when I saw Beverly hurl the ball at females in the stands, gender doesn't really matter here.
What really sucks when you watch it is that a guy thinks the ball just ended up there in error and tosses it back to him only to have Beverly whip it right back at him with intent to hurt
That's really disgusting and I think a lengthy suspension should be in place, you cannot have that kind of behavior, no justification for it.
NBA very fortunate this did not get worse or escalate into a disaster

I don’t follow the Lakers super closely but I read an Athletic article earlier in the week that painted a very poor picture of Ham. Seems like it wasn’t just LeBron.So Lebron fired Ham. Shocking.

It’s really going to mess it up to let Draymond onto it when he retires.

Van Exel is a player I haven't thought about for years. Sucks he got shipped out before all the championships. Fun player to watch, great handles and had ice in his veins when it came down to the clutch. That Cancun on three line still gives me a chuckle.

We got one game 7. Can we get another?

On the broadcast they said something like Franz/Banchero/Suggs are only the third trio in NBA history 22-years old or younger to each have 20+ points in the same playoff game.
The other two:
KD/Russ/Harden
KD/Russ/Ibaka

Love seeing it. Going 7 says a lot about this team. I just hope they don't get suckered into signing Klay this off season.

I like what they have going, but they are going to be easy to root against. The Wagners are annoying with punchable faces.

I'm obviously biased about some things. But good lord if we don't have an absolutely electric arena in Dallas when we're in the playoffs. Just outstanding. It is so much fun to be here.

How do people complain about Luka and refs when Russell Westbrick is still in the game too? If Luka is a first team complainer, Westbrick may be the MVP.
Capella
Footballguy
He’s likely gone after this year but they gave him all the time he needed to come back. Didn’t rush him at all.

Most people seem to think they’ll be hard after Malik Monk. That one seems right to me.

I’m not sure the Clippers are a ton better off than the Suns right now. Does anyone believe that Kawhi is going to be able to make it to the playoffs and play all the way through healthy again?

No not at all. Balmer just wants a big name for his new arena and Kawhi will hobble through some December games for that check. Not a serious franchise.

Luka is great obviously, but I definitely wish he'd stop with the constant complaining to the officials.
Playoff Harden is like that moody girlfriend who is awesome on the good days, but on the bad days, you'd rather they were thousands of miles away.

Yeah I mean I'm jesting a bit. I think the complaints are a little overblown with him though. People saying he's the worst don't watch enough basketball. Do Luka and Embiid both whine kind of a lot? Yes. BUT, their ratio of whining to actually getting hit and whacked repeatedly without a call (aka being correct) is WAY higher than others.
Luka gets officiated kind of like Shaq.
Even up 20 with 6 minutes to go or so, down to around 4 minutes, there are 3 straight possessions of booing in the arena because you can see Mann or Harden, or both on the same possession, where Luka is at the top of the key, catches the ball, and they just grab his arms. Like they froze it on the jumbotron and he has both hands just wrapped around Luka's upper arms. Then he drives on Harden, who gets the dumbest calls, and stops to turn around and shoot, and both of Harden's arms are fully extended with hands on Luka's chest...and nothing.
Embiid faced a lot of the same stuff. NY just absolutely hammered him all series. he shot 12, 21, 14, 6, and 13 FTs. He probably should have had 20/game.
So I feel a lot for the bigger dudes that are hard to officiate. Because when the other team gives a little shove or moves the pick enough to be called, and Embiid gets called for a foul on the PnR that when he's the ball handler NEVER gets called purely because the size difference is there, I have a lot of empathy.
Jokic does it too, by the way. We just like his off court personality more. But man if he isn't tossing his hands up, doing the two hands in front of my face wild eyed "what me how could it possible be me?????" face...all these guys do it to some extent. I think the guys who are bigger have a lot more legitimate gripes on average.
Instinctive
Footballguy
LOL right on time with my post.
msudaisy26

You aren't watching enough basketball if you think Jokic is even on the same planet as Embiid, Luka, or Tatum.
Jokic complains just enough to get his point across and in the right tone and manner so he doesn't come off as a wine crybaby like the others. It has nothing to do with off the court stuff.
Instinctive
Footballguy
I mean personally I'd like none of the old man on a porch whining about whining. But if we're gonna go down the path we should at least bring an accurate fact base to it.

Out of the 25 2020 All-Stars, only 3 made it to the second round this year with their same team: Jokic, Doncic, and Tatum. It’s a good example to remind us how quickly fates can change in the NBA.
