What was the build up to that DeMar scuffle? He seems to be in a really aggro space these days.

I'm not going to blame the ejection & the refs on this loss. Demar 4-15 for 16 points, Brooks was 10-13 for 23 points. We didn't get killed in the 4th without Demar either, both teams played to a tie basically.

We lost this in the 1st Q, giving up 42 points in just 1 quarter and Demar was there for all of that. We looked like slow, over 30 team and Houston just kept running and our guys didn't keep up.

He laid a really hard hit out of nowhere on Jalen Green and sent him to the scorers table and Green looked hurt, Dillon Brooks approached him and grabbed his elbow, Demar swung his arm out I think just to get Brooks' arm off him and clipped his jaw. Then everyone got into a scuffle.

Thanks, I should’ve made it clearer that I saw DeMar’s foul on Green. I didn’t know if it was retaliation for something that happened earlier in the game.

DeRozan confirmed jealous about Dreya. Or maybe he thinks Green is a fool and needed some sense knocked into him.

I didn't watch the game. Is Jalen Green improving? I know he was recently player of the week.

I'm glad to see Ayo with 35 points. I hope he keeps improving.

He is essentially playing a role he shouldn't be playing and too many minutes.

Is this another way of saying we'd be a good team if Vuc wasn't bad half the time?

The truth is Vuc is a bad player who has good games when the opposing player is a 3rd string undersized g league center. He should be playing 6th man at most at this point.

Ayo for MIP

Co MIP with Coby!

VUC is a top 12-15 Center. Playing next to a Shooting guard at PF

In what reality?!? I would like to join. If Vuc could be an average center this team would be .500

Except that he is. Vucevic is 6th among all centers in points per game, rebounds per game and assists per game despite our 5-14 start when the entire team’s stats were down.

If this team was not missing Zach Lavine, Lonzo Ball and Patrick Williams they’d be over .500. Vuc is not the main reason why we haven’t reached .500 yet.

Sure. But if all else was the same but Vuc was exchanged for a replacement level C the bulls would be at least .500 right now

I’d be curious who you’d think that would be. Vuc is an offensive-minded center who is at least serviceable on defense. He tends to get a bad rap for his defense because he’s slow. But we’ve had good defensive rosters with him at the 5. We currently don’t have a serviceable power forward. Which replacement center would get us to at least .500 with the roster as currently constructed?

I think the play right before he felt that he was fouled,wasn’t called and he got angry. Vuc also thought he was fouled in that sequence and was mad as well, idk if anyone noticed but when the ball went out of bounds Vuc looked like he was going to kick the ball at the fans but stopped, they even protected themselves lol. That would have been more hilarious if he actually kicked it at them.

Disappointed and surprised in Demar with that dirty non-basketball play on Jalen Green. Totally uncalled for and worthy of ejection.

Also disappointed but not at all surprised in Stacey's absurd bias and homerism during his call of that scuffle. Demar tackles Green out of nowhere and it's somehow Brooks' fault?

Brooks is a tool and a dirty scumbag, but Demar was the instigator and Brooks was just standing up for a teammate in this situation.

We know Stacey's reaction would have been the polar opposite if a Rockets player randomly tackled one of our guys.

And we know Amin is too cowardly to openly disagree with Stacey.

I really hate how overtly biased and bordering on delusional our commentary team is.
