They won't even eject him from a game when he blatantly fouls out. No way he is suspended for a playoff game.

For real. There is as big a chance of Lebron being fined for tampering as him missing any time. He could have picked the dude up and body slammed him while smashing his nuts walking by after and I'd still be shocked he even got ejected for the rest of the game.

Dude plays with 8 fouls to be ejected and can elbow defenders out of the way whenever he wants. Probably more than Lebron can at this point. Heck, he even gets free throws after most the time.

I'd be shocked if he doesn't at least miss the last regular season game. NBA may wimp out and not cause him to miss game 1 of the playoffs, though.

I can see it. Bucks are already in and wouldn't play him anyway, so nice "save face punishment" and the griz need a win bad and the NBA likes the 3 way fight for the 8th seed in the west i'm sure.

Halftime update for WC Play In Competition:

Grizz are beating Greek-less Bucks by 16.

Suns w Super Nova Booker are thrashing Mavs by 19 (playing as well as Super Nova Dame in the Bubble).


If Grizz & Suns both win, then SA is immediately eliminated & the Blazers game tonight determines seeding.

If Blazers win (hopefully), 8 Blazers & 9 Grizz.
If Blazers lose, 8 Grizz & 9 Suns.

Celtics, the only team that didn't struggle with the Nets in the bubble.

Nets defense is fine. Lillard just draws too much attention when he's like this.

Blazers defense on the other hand is poop. And that's why I don't think they'll ever win a title with CJ/Dame as their backcourt. Flip CJ for a two-way wing. I think Trent is proving to be good enough to start.

Blazers are trash defensive team. Their 29th ranked team defence is being generous

Kyrie is gonna ruin them. Levert and Spencer will be ball watching a lot being useless like they have been with him this year and they still need wing defenders and rim protection.

Dame Lillard is my favorite non-Celtics player in the NBA.

What an absolute beast.

Trust me. They are going to be swept by Toronto’s elite wing and perimeter defence. They are the best 3pt defending team. I will be shocked if they can win a game
