Davante pushed a guy to the ground... assaultDraymond throws a potentially deadly punch... a fine?
Devante Adams assaulted someone who is in effect a " civilian" ( a member of the production crew) and who was more than happy to file a complaint with the proper authorities. Moral of that story-------if you're going to committ a tort against someone who is part of the supporting cast and only doing his job, don't do it on national television.The Green/Poole incident is nothing more than a work place dust--up that for all intents and purposes occurred behind closed doors in front of a room full of alpha males. Kind of like 2 longshoremen pounding the piss out of each other in the lunchroom. Nobody will file a complaint. None of the 20+ people present saw or heard anything. No one would testify against a teammate. Move on----nothing to see here.
The product — ClipperVision, it’s called — is a first for the NBA, and the team says it is planning on streaming more than 70 games live in-market this coming season.“It’s inevitable. This is where things are going. It’s obvious,” Clippers President Gillian Zucker said. “The speed at which the pickup takes place, that’s the only question mark.”
The Athletic's Power Rankings are out. The Bucks (2) and the Heat (5) are the East teams in "Tier 1: The Contenders"https://theathletic.com/3608925/2022/10/17/nba-power-rankings-season-opening/?source=user-shared-article
Hornets backup James Bouknight was arrested for impaired driving.https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/charlotte-hornets/article267431857.html#storylink=cpyThis is commonplace for Bouknight, who has several pending charges from November alone, including speeding and reckless driving. He also was arrested once for similar while he was at UConn.What a dope, and potentially a killer dope.He hardly played as a rookie last season but he has moved up to become a rotation player this season. It's hard to root for a guy who doesn't learn, though.
Funny, I happened to catch part of a recent interview with Steve Clifford on NBA radio recently. He said that Patrick Ewing talked to him about Bouknight, presumably before they drafted him. To paraphrase he stated "Patrick had never raved about a college player before to me but he was emphatic that Bouk would be a superstar in the NBA."
Given Ewing’s ability as a college coach, maybe not the best person to glean an assessment from.
The future superstar Bouk was passed out in his car and had a gun with him when he was found and arrested.He has a bazillion traffic citations outstanding.Meanwhile, Miles Bridges' trial for beating up the mother of his children -- in front of those children -- has been postponed numerous times. He won't be with the team as the season starts, and even if he escapes his legal issures, he faces a long NBA suspension.The Hornets have way more arrests than they do playoff victories over the last 10 years. MJ is doing a hell of a job as owner.
Ball and Wembenyama should be fun together next year, though.Can the Bucks take any of Hayward, Oubre, or PJ Washington from you to assist in your tank season?
Will be very curious what the Bucks look like through the new year. Think this is a team that starts slow and then we’ll see what happens
Definitely agree on the slow start as they will be without Middleton and Connaughton for the first few weeks of the season. It may take a while for things to get gelling.Interesting that the Athletic didn't have the Sixers in the contenders bracket. I think there's a strong possibility they finish with the 1 seed in the East.
Any team with James Harden isn’t a serious contender
The NBA on TNT is just so good.https://twitter.com/NBAonTNT/status/1582382245100146688?s=20&t=PDFQsBEQy0aL4K6dBe57_g
I know the Celtics lost Udoka but if Williams gets healthy I think they clearly have the best roster in the East. They have a huge perimeter advantage with 4-5 guys that can score and two that are elite scorers.
Dat pretty much guarantees dale suck, aina?
Once Middleton is healthy, and assuming no other serious injuries, the Bucks have the best "championship-type" lineup in the entire league, not to mention the experience of having actually done it. The Celtics have plenty of question marks, too.If I had to pick the 2023 champions right now, it would be the Bucks.
