Right around 0:28 you notice the arm of Dolan in a black jacket with a red card looking at the altercation. Finally see him at 0:38 and looks through the whole thing he's just casually watching.

Apparently security asked Oakley to leave after he was sitting around Dolan. Don't know if he had been yelling stuff to him before. But they have a history with Oakley basically being made a Knicks outcast and never being invited to ceremonies that celebrate the 90s Knick teams since Oak has criticized ownership and players being bad.

Despite acting like an idiot and getting physical (even if he was unjustly kicked out), it was pretty awesome hearing fans chanting for Oakley while he was getting kicked out which was awesome.

Charles Oakley should automatically be allowed to push 3 people when he walks into a room. If he punches you, you thank him.

Yeah, Orl is so confused on what it wants to do. Oladipo for Ross is sorta meh. They lose the lotto pick. Just didn't really see the point in trading for Ibaka when they could've just signed Biz and left it alone. Not even gonna touch signing Jeff Green for one year...

Everything ORL did made sense to me, not because it was good for the team but because the guy putting together the team will always do everything he can to save his job.

Their rebuilding failed and he can't just start a new one without getting fired so he traded for what he tought would squeeze them into the playoffs.

On the flip side, the deal improves Toronto to potentially push the Cavs to 7 games, or even beat them. Either way is good for the Warriors.

Also creates one expensive offseason. Lowry and his max deal plus have to figure out how much to pay a declining Serge. I don't like signing Paul Milsapp for 4-5 years either, but i'm not over the moon on the Ibaka acquisition either. But they probably had to give up less assets for Ibaka. In the end, it may be the best move they could make.

Plus, they're #1 in offense and like 17th in defense so its on that side of the ball where they need to improve. Having Norman Powell kinda made Ross expendable. They had to do something to get a PF, but in the end may not be enough and will get awfully expensive in one off season.

Reminds me of the scene after a boxing match, lol.

Orlando may have panicked and made that trade.

But it may also indicate they don't have much hope for Hejonza, who hasn't shown much in his first 1.5 seasons.

I think Orlando realized they were going to have a hard time keeping Ibaka, which is why OKC moved him. Toronto is going to be strapped this off season, but I love how aggressive Ujiri is and his solid decision making IMO. I think Denver took a step back when they didn't keep him.

With Love out and LeBron playing more minutes, the Raptors have a chance of catching the Cavs, though I don't think they will because of their recent slump. At least the Raptors can now match up better with the Cavs' small ball lineup.

Boston playing well but are they going into the playoffs with pretty much the same team as last year?

May be a mistake standing pat.

Agreed. They haven't even won a playoff series the last two years...and I don't think Horford moves the needle for them all that much.

After what seemed like a life sentence Demarcus Cousins finally got out.

Boogie and AD....... jeebus

Sounds like Matt Barnes may be getting waived after this trade. Dude is absolutely nuts and would probably bring out the worst in Draymond, but damn, would I be tempted to have him as a bench wing.

Well let's hope the pels don't land 8th seed lol

Pretty shocking.

Surely the Kings could have pulled more in trade than that pukey haul?

If they get the 8 seed, we have a big problem.

He's a huge talent but I'm not sure how two big men mesh on that team.

Especially if Gentry is trying to build an offense similar to the Warriors. But now, he's just got a C who has to have the ball and tries to create for himself off the dribble.

The Warriors are not a lock for the top seed, San Antonio is 4 games back. I can see Kerr being very "strategic" down the stretch with resting guys to avoid New Orleans.

LOL'ed at Steve beign "strategic", he sat Dray once last year, Dray said I can't do that again and Steve was like "Yes sir" ... he doesn't run the assylum he's just along for the ride.
