Isaiah Stewart got 3 games for punching that Suns player in the tunnel.

That seems a little light.  Maybe there is more to the story?

Cleveland goes down to the Sixers tonight. The Celtics magic number to clinch the east just got smaller.

I think it was just because it was off-camera and away from the fans. Not as serious as an on-court fight.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Bulls and Pels got into it.

Great another fake NBA fight.   All posturing, and shoving and grabbing.   No one really wants to fight.

I am not saying I want to see them fight either, but it is just silly.

People get tired of the Heat's bull.

That's NBA Champion Jordan Poole, to us.

Great example of a good, better than average player, on a great team..

Podzemski would look the same on the Wizards..

The "Heat Culture" thing has to be the saddest thing I've seen. I'm sure I'll get backlash from some and yes, I respect the tough mentality of some of their guys especially Butler. But man... when you need to basically print an entire paragraph on an NBA court highlighting "Heat Culture" (which btw, every team basically says in their mission statements and what not about playing tough, as a team, never giving up, etc.) that's just sad.

Oh and btw, Duncan Robinson intentionally tried to trip a Pelicans player yesterday. It was extremely blatant. That's some "Heat Culture"  ::)

When Riley finally retires , Heat will before ever a bottom feeder.  He keeps them competitive.

He's earned it. I think the Warriors could still be a dangerous team if they make it to the playoffs. That's a nightmare scenario for The Wolves or the Thunder in the first round.

Didn't watch the game between the Bucks and the TWolves last night (and don't care to).  Looked at the box score just now.

Giannis: 21 free throw attempts
Entire TWolves team: 13 free throw attempts

TWolves took a few less 3 point attempts than the Bucks.  This disparity is absurd.  I don't see how any objective fan could find such a game enjoyable to watch.

It will be that way till Curry retires

If you didn't watch the game then how can you say it is absurd.
