A little surprised JB's available and not suspended for a game after that outburst

Considering the general NBA take was that ejecting him was ridiculous in and of itself, a subsequent suspension would not have been a good PR move.

At the risk of relitigating something from the previous game thread . . . A suspension might be too much, but I think he earned that ejection.  Doesn't even seem like a close call to me.  He was out of control and didn't even heed warnings from his teammates to step back.  He probably cost the team the game, but it was unprofessional behavior irrespective of that.

I?m not 100% sure.  He was still angry after the first T but it?s hard to know if he might have settled if the 2nd T hadn?t been called. The second T was a pretty quick call. Jaylen very well may have settled if they?d given him 15 seconds.  But once the second T was called, he was scary angry.  Pushing Hauser and others who tried to constrain him showed how borderline under control he was.

a good PR move, no.  a stretch considering how he carried on, no.
