Brklyn , CLV (Claris LeVert) is making some noise. Every game he's looked good. Penetrates, dishes.

Bad blood between Rondo and CP3 came to a boil with them punching each other in the face. LBJ holds back CP3. Suspensions due.

Washington will be without Dwight Howard on their five game road trip.

Dwight Howard (back) is not traveling with the Wizards on their five-game road trip.
While D12 could rejoin the team at some point, he'll miss Monday's game in Portland, which will result in Ian Mahinmi earning another start. The Wizards continue to say that Howard is close, but him not traveling with the team on a lengthy road trip is concerning.

That was almost an actual fight. My money's on rondo. Not sure why everyone stood around and let CP go on a lengthy lecture right in Rondo's face.

What's wrong with OKC?

Rondo is a piece of work, man...

I no Rondo is generally a jerk but not sure what Paul thinks he's doing there other than trying to provoke a reaction. Which he did. Let's face it Paul has been involved in some pretty stupid stuff the last couple years.

IDK, man.

Looks like Rondo walks over to CP3. Paul doesn't walk away...then Rondo spits in his face.

CP3 is a diva. But Rondo is kind of a garbage human being.

Rondo was suspended for instigating a physical altercation with Paul, and spitting and throwing multiple punches at the Rockets star. Paul was suspended for poking at and making contact Rondo's face and throwing multiple punches at him.

"What is he supposed to do? Just stand there and get spit on and then take a punch in the face and say, 'Well, that's OK,'" said D'Antoni, who called Rondo's spitting "pretty disgusting." MSN.com

Can Reggie Jackson stay healthy? (Kennard as well)

Sorry but why do you need a barber shop in an arena?

For the good press.

It's not likely to be a permanent addition. But it's a fun addition to include in a press release:

“We saw renovation as innovation,” says Steve Koonin, the Hawks' CEO. “We wanted it to be authentic and be inclusive with a high degree of uniqueness while offering consumers things they wouldn’t expect.”

The unexpected comes in the form of the first courtside club in the NBA, a Killer Mike barbershop overlooking the arena, Top Golf swing suites, loft suites, a social club created by musician Zac Brown and plenty of details that put the focus on community.

Koonin knows the upgrades for 2018 may not be the same for all time. “Unequivocally you build the shell, but you can change the program,” he says. “Some will be trial and error. Some will be enhanced..."

Gedney says that the way they worked with local names was about more than borrowing likenesses and instead about partnering with iconic people in a meaningful way.

Traded for each other on Draft night, Luka Doncic and Trae Young will forever be linked.

In their first regular-season showdown, Doncic scored 12 points in the first quarter as the Mavs built a 42-22 lead. The Mavs led by 26 early in the second quarter as Young struggled from the field and picked up his second and third fouls.

The script flipped in the second half, though, as the Hawks mounted an epic comeback. While Kent Bazemore did the heavy lifting (career-high 32 points), Young delivered in crunch time, scoring 12 of his 17 points in the final quarter and getting to the line over and over again. Final score: Hawks 111, Mavericks 104.

Doncic finished with 21 points, but hit only 3 of 10 shots over the final two quarters.

We'll get another look at Doncic vs. Young when the Hawks visit the Mavs on Dec. 12.

Should we keep an eye on this 'disgruntled situation?

Yes.

Yes, we should. That'd be one of those James Harden type trade opportunities Schlenk has mentioned being prepared for.

NOTE: It'd almost certainly cost us Prince and Collins (at least) to get a guy like KAT. Are you prepared to pay that much for a star Center?

Price may be too high for my liking. I'm concerned with his sudden 'diva-ness'. Toughen up buttercup.

Which playoff team favored to win the 1st round is in the most trouble?
