That is weird. Not assault if it's on the court during the game.

I believe the only criminal charges that have ever been handed down to an IN game incident was the Malace at the Palace and that was because it went up in the stands. Fine line……

I’ll never forget during what I believe was the Tyson vs Holyfield fight cops were IN the ring trying to break it up…..it was crazy!!!

It can be if the player/victim files a police report.

But, that doesn't really happen.

Could you imagine the precedent it would set if someone actually did file charges?

 

[Chris Craig]

Could you imagine the precedent it would set if someone actually did file charges?

It would change the whole league. The fighting and drama is entertainment though. It sells. It benefits the NBA.

 

[Shaboid]

Draymond would be in for life!

The G-League no name Star Grizzlies plays hard than the Blazers. I think it’s really in the coach

.^WHAT?^

 

[kjironman1]

I have read that four times. Nope! No idea?

 

[PCmor7]

He's saying the Grizzlies have no all-stars, they are "no-name" stars and they still play better than the Blazers.

Hey, we beat the Bucks too!

Amazing, Memphis is 7-20 at home and 13-16 on the road.

The only explanation I can see is that teams know how difficult getting a road win is and they come in focused in Memphis.
And maybe the opposing teams take the bad teams for granted and don't come out with the same intensity when playing at home.

It looks like most good teams dominate at home while most bad teams win about the same home and away. But yeah the Memphis breakdown is odd.

JJJ commented on the [home] pregame changes following Morant's night club issues, where they went from playing hip hop to R&B, saying he felt like they were warming up to love songs. It's a stretch, but maybe that's worn pretty thin on the home team and they're more motivated on the road?

Could be, but I think when it comes to "bad" teams it is more about the opposition's motivation than the team decimated by injuries. Bad teams need the opposition to take them for granted and I think that happens more when the bad team plays on the road.

Sounds like the neighbor is trying to correct the situation. Did not realize I was blocked by Nurk until I tried to read that? Not sure exactly why he would block me? maybe at some point he blocked Portland type accounts?
