Yes, I knew about that. It should have been a jump ball.

Salah Mejri threatened to come to Blazers locker room after Jusuf Nurkic tussle

The Portland Trail Blazers and Dallas Mavericks had a game of many emotions on Saturday night at Moda Center. Of course, the game wasn’t that close — Portland led by 17 at the half and finished the game by beating Dallas, 117-108.

But as we’ve seen in the NBA recently, the propensity for NBA players to get into physical spats is high. So it was no surprise that we saw yet another scrum between NBA players on the east side of the Willamette on Saturday as Dallas’ Salah Mejri got tangled up with Jusuf Nurkic and Evan Turner.

The play began with Nurkic getting a clean block on Mejri. Because of the position of the two players, Nurkic’s arm was angled as such that after the block it came clean through to rest on Mejri’s shoulder. Mejri turned, and the whole thing became a tangle of arms and elbows.

Neither Mejri or Nurkic took kindly to that, so the two squared off. Nurkic gave Mejri an ineffectual little push, while Portland’s Evan Turner jumped in to hold Mejri back. The Mavericks center promptly flopped all the way to the ground, inexplicably grabbing his face. It was Premier League-level flopping from Mejri, just top notch stuff.





After the game, Turner told media that Mejri threatened to come get the Blazers.

“He’s like ‘I’ll come to the locker room!'” said Turner. “Out of a 225 lb. dude [Turner] a 275 lb. dude [Nurkic] and a 7-footer [Mejri] who hit the ground?”

Portland’s CJ McCollum didn’t seem too impressed with the threat.

“If they really want to fight, they know where to find people,” said McCollum.

Much like any arena, the visiting locker room is just down the hall from the home squad at Moda Center, so it would have been easy for Mejri to get to. Nothing happened, so it turned out as an empty threat.

Meanwhile, Turner was assessed a technical foul for the tussle — presumably for “pushing” Mejri. There was notable tension the rest of the game between Mejri, Nurkic, and the crowd at Moda Center, but nothing else of consequence happened.

Even his own coach thinks he's an idiot:



Get the fuck out of here!

Anybody watching OKC vs. WAS? Good god, those OKC uniforms are hideous.

Shouldn't surprise me, everything about that organization offends me.

He's expiring.... Think we can swap Meyers for him (and then cut him)?

Mejri is on a minimum contract. DAL has the cap space to absorb Meyers' contract, but it would be a tough sell to convince them that would be the most judicious use of that cap space.

They were going to have a flop-off.

They don't make a lot of sense, do they? Not only is the color combo bad, but they highlighted the number and "OKC" with bright ass yellow?

5 days ago, Tim Quarterman signed with Greg Oden's old Chinese team. He had done nothing since Houston waived him in preseason. Festus Ezeli started walking 3 months ago in late September.

Wow. The name Festus Ezeli is like mentioning a festering financial wound. He still walked away with a million even though he didn't play. Who the fuck would name their kid Festus? That's Cruel.

Yes. It is fashion risk. The Blazers still have the best uniforms except for the new red ones with felt numbers. I do not like them. The 90-92 uniforms were my favorite except for the tiny pants.

It's like they took six random spins on a color wheel and this is what they came up with. None of the colors go together, nor are any of them complimentary colors, just some random combination.

Hate the dude now, but Russ had an absolutely sick game just now. 46-6-6 on only 1 made 3 and 7 FTs. Clinic against John Wall.

Beal with 41-12-7 in the losing effort
 
not sure of the restrictions meaning no trade clause but if I’m Cleveland and I’m sure LeBron isn’t coming back I trade him for young players and draft picks. Get what you can out of him now instead of losing him for nothing.
 
Now you living in Hawaii is no excuse for creating threads like this and it not being just a post in our AROUND THE NBA THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gimme back my forum!!!!!!

Lol I just think LeBron is going to leave them high and dry. Cleveland will be horrible again for years they can literally change the face of the franchise in one big ballsy move
 
Since Lebron is also Le-GM he could congratulate himself on getting such a good deal.

Trade him somewhere he’d want to go gives him a free out

Good idea.

Except he already said not to bother dealing him, he won’t move this year, he’ll block all deals, he’s staying in Cleveland until the year is up and then he’ll evaluate his options.

Not saying he couldn’t change his mind, but he’s been pretty blunt on the topic, thus far.

It's funny how Westbrooks high scoring outputs always seem to correlate with PG and Melo shooting poor from the field.
