 Dramatic title, sounds like it was arguing among players. I'm really happy Horford is the voice of reason on the team.

 That's 27 million dollar leadership right there. Exactly what I was hoping for.

I know the question is asked in the article but I can't find a logic answer : why were they arguing ? It's not like the lead was cut down or they were themselves down by a big margin.

With Smart and Crowder on the roster, it's anyone's guess.

 It's wierd but it's not. We have true warrior type guys, desperate to win. Just hyper competitive guys that refuse to lose. That's all it was just making sure we don't blow it in the second half. Kudos to Big Al for calming things down.

I'd be more worried if things like this didn't happen.

Despite what fans concoct in their own minds, I've never been associated with a successful team where there weren't conflicts - personality and the like. If there aren't, your team may be too soft or too apathetic to win.

And if you have good leaders, it's no big deal.

Let conjure to guess, just for fun.
I'm guessing Smart was yelling at Brown for stupid foul at the end of the half, after he dove on the floor trying to make the steal. Then Crowder yelled at Smart to leave him alone.
Then IT told everyone on the team " I will F*** you all up"!
Anyone else want to guess?

I agree with the sentiment that its better to care and get agitated about winning vs. being complacent. I like some toughness and to have a leader who can calm things down after is also great.

This seems very plausible.

It was Jonas and Tyler fighting about who was gonna get in first during Gino time  ;D

Nah I'm almost willing to bet Marcus was involved...Smartacus the Gladiator will most certainly always be in the midst of anything fight related lol. It's just who he is and honestly I'm happy to have someone like him on our roster.

As long as it wasn't about some woman, they should be ok.

We didn't close the half well, and Jaylen had an idiotic foul on Mahinmi shooting a three to cap it off, so I would hope there was some yelling.

Jaylen's foul on Mahinmi was in the second half.
