The only fans that should love Nico are Laker fans. The stupidity of this man is about to be on full display.

I don't think he should've been ejected. It was heat of the moment in an intense game.

Probably not a great idea to yank somebody down from behind by their face.

I thought he should’ve been ejected. That was a dangerous play pulling Giannis’s head back.

Commissioner is in the building for Bucks-Rockets. I wonder how he feels about the ejection.

I always look at it like, would I be pissed if somebody did that to my team's best player, and want them to be significantly punished?

And the answer there for me there is, yes, very much so.

Rockets team commentators seem reasonably unbiased. I kind of like them. Better than average at least.

If Luka passes to a Mav by mistake who can blame him
