Robin Lopez upset with his 3-on-3 team lost - stormed off the Suns practice court and shattered a glass door on his way out.

The source is easily found if you google it but you need to cite a link whenever you take an excerpt from somewhere. TOS :dontknow:

I like the passion but there's really no need to shatter a door :uhoh:

But there was no source other than a tweet when I found it. Probably is now after a hour.

I don't know what to make of it.... Is he pissed with himself ? his tri-team ? Is he having a hard time outside of his brother's shadow ? Someone pull his socks down ?

I don't get it.

All i know is he needs more time on the floor. He looked good against Dallas and LA. He alter shots and gets rebounds. He has a nice 15 footer as well. Get him and Clark on the Got Damn floor, now! Clark was all over LeBron in Cleveland, twice. I like Lopez fire, we don't have enough of it.


He does need anger management skills.

The guy in the door in the picture looks like that Kenny the plumber that was on tv and had a movie here in Aus.

He should fight someone during game time, so what if he gets suspended for some games no big deal.

Temper maybe, as long as he's not slapping his teammates and barking like a dog on all fours a la KG... then I'm fine with it.

Thing is, it was opening the door, not slamming it closed, that caused the problem. To my mind, slamming would be an issue, but when you're still all jazzed up with adrenaline pumping and 7 feet tall.... those doors get a little lighter than expected.

Everybody plays better with Nash...

Nopez's practice time dictates his playing time. I'll go with Gentry's assessment for I think he knows more about the proper way to open doors.

Hey, if someone used my conditioner I'd be pissed too

Nah - I'm sure he was just wound up and didn't know his own strength - I've slammed a few doors in my day.

I'm not arguing with Gentry - I'd like to see Sideshow out there quicker though, when Frye's shot deserts him. Despite his nine boards yesterday, at 1 of 7 he's not helping us a lot. I like his game and I'm glad we got him, just that he's hot and cold and he might as well sit a spell when cold.

No worries, just for the future.

I like to hear that he's at least competitive on the court, and hopefully that transpires onto the court in a real game. Def. needs to cool down on his anger, and if he has another one of these type of situations while playing real minutes on the court and gets into an altercation with another player, I have my bets with anyone on the opposing team to lay his comic book/cartoon ass out. :pray:

I don't mind this at all. Good to see SOMEONE on our team show a fire. Sometimes, a temper is needed.
