Luol Dork takes cheap shot on Joker. Good to see him not take it. Will the league punish this behavoir of instegator or double tech cop out?

Although, I didn't think it should have been graded a flagrant 2 by Dort.

Dirty play by Dort. Total acting by jokic. Both can be true.

Exactly. Both can be true at the same time. From what I understand, it was an extension from another play involving Shai.

Kon Knueppel appreciation post:
A rookie leading the ENTIRE league in 3PM.49% from the field, 44% from three on 8 attempts, 89% from the line.
Flirting with 50/40/90 as a rookie is MADNESS

He makes a good point. It's a complex issue.

The problem is the issues are intertwined because there are so many teams tanking that even when a struggling parent is able to afford a game night out, they might get hit in the face watching the all-back up team on the court. Then they’re paying out the nose AND getting a terrible product.

Crazy but true: The Hornets are 27-17 with Brandon Miller in the lineup this season. That’s a .614 win percentage, which would be good for the 4 seed in the Eastern Conference

No, there of something weird going on with Portzingis’ health. He’s missed 2/3rds of the season due to bouts with a vague illness.
