AROUND THE NBA THREAD. NOV 2021 edition

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.

Better not be a road game.

another malice in detroit, stewart going after lebron like a madman

[FlashWad]

Malice at the Palace 2.0?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Vogel's 'bout to be the next coach fired...

 

[PCmor7]

Pistons getting open shots almost every time they pass more than once.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Malice at the Palace 2.0?

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

[Minstrel]

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.

 

[Cugel]

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

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Come at the King you best not miss

Or: every single Hockey game.

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

 

[ehizzy3]

The game should have been called

 

[Cugel]

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.

they should build a shrine to Ron Artest there to honor what happened there.

 

[handiman]

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.

You lost me at “waaaay too early” FAMS

 

[ehizzy3]

Lebron actually got him with his fist and not elbow. He also wound up. He should be suspended 5 games, maybe like 3 for Stewart but he didn’t do that much except try to go after lebron. He sure did try tho

I always wondered what that big mound of earth right next to it was?

Sacred Indian Burial Ground. Explains a lot about the Grant Hill years.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Looks like LeBron being ejected was just what the Lakers needed. Cade's got his first NBA triple double, though. I always said that kid would be great!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

After seeing that, everything Stewart did was perfectly reasonable.

or, serve yourself at my in-laws Thanksgiving

...here is an even better look at it! Definitely multi-game suspension warranted!

 

[noknobs]

Those Laker announcers are a joke. Say Lebron's hit was unintentional and actually laughing when Stewart was going after Lebron. Ridiculous.

 

[HailBlazers]

Bitch move.
