Any blow to someones head is no joke. But I agree the league historically weak and likely wont do much to a Superstar.

My guess is 2 games. He'll miss game 1 in the first round, thats all


Historically headbutts have only gotten 1 game, but the last one was in 2015. I hope they make it 2 games to be equivalent to the 2 games for "fighting".



Make sense. Head injuries are a HUGE issue these days. I think 5-7 games should be the punishment for any player, but 2 games seems like middle ground when taking into account the past, the seriousness of the act and the impact to the league.

Man Michael Porter is sick. Hope Denver makes the finals
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Yup...I'm now closet Nuggets fan. That team is fun to watch. Jokic is awesome...fun to watch a Canadian boy in Murray...Porter is a superstar in the making (I see KD and Carmelo in him) and of course...BOL.

Aren't we the second best team right now? We have the same record as the Lakers and we beat them in both games we played them so shouldn't be get the edge because of that?
