Lol. Sounds like I missed a great game. Towns and Crowder ejected, and now a possible Teague suspension? What did he do?

Ran Ricky over pretty good out on the break (he was tossed on a Flagrant 2, the others got ejected for multiple techs). I dunno if it's suspension worthy, but it really wasn't a basketball play at all, completely unnecessary.

Body check on Rubio, a frustration flagrant two.

Towns just yelled at the ref, I don't think they gonna add games for him.

I'm hoping no suspension for Teague. The wolves got penalized enough with that 2nd tech on Towns. Lets just call it a wash.

Thing is both are. So I didn't know if you felt there was a particular reason. Similar size, both super strong. Jimmy tough Chicago kid, Crowder tough kid from Georgia who grew up playing football in the south.

I know crowders a tough guy but I just can’t see jimmy ever tapping out. But I’ll go off your word and call it a wash.

This is not the first time Teague has done that it seems. Here's a post from reddit with several other instances of him doing the exact same thing. The league needs to crack down on him before he hurts someone.
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/81ne10/teague_checks_rubio_to_the_stands_espn/dv40ksa/
Jeff Teague has been doing the chase down cheap shot for years:

To Lebron in the playoffs after the game was over:

To Jae Crowder:

To Bradley Beal:


He goes for a dirty play when he's losing.

NBA subreddit had something similar a long time ago with "JR Smith's Greatest Hits"

That Jeff Teague play is EXTREMELY dangerous. If he caught Rubio a few feet before, Rubio goes flying into that screen at full speed. Suspension definitely warranted. That play is not okay.

Also very stupid, they were only down 9 with 5 minutes left.

Teague is not only an idiot, he's a total punk ass. I wish Crowder would have decked him.

His ejection was pretty weak.

Honestly though, I thought the 2nd tech was the right call. That being said, if one was to argue "how can they call that crap when guys like Draymond Green can scream at the refs" I'll agree 100%.
