Haha. I love how idiotic some internet sleuths are. “This is actually where he got injured”….never mind the time of the game and how much longer he played after that without any signs of being in pain.
I’m not blaming Poole, and I don’t think the injury will be too serious. I’ll take a pissed off Ja Morant in this series, though. That could really make it exciting. He’s already showed he’s the most exciting player in the NBA this post season. Just wait until you see him when he’s angry. |

Sorry Embiid should have been MVP.

Chris Paul's wife, mother were pushed by Mavericks fans during Game 4, per report
The relationship between fans and players has been a major point of discussion this postseason. Both Draymond Green and Kyrie Irving have been fined for giving road fans the middle finger in these playoffs alone, and now, Chris Paul is dealing with a somewhat similar situation. A fan in Dallas was ejected from Game 4 of their second-round series between Paul's Phoenix Suns and the Mavericks, and as he was escorted out, Paul was seen on video saying "I'll see you later" to him. It is too early for the league to have issued any discipline at the moment, and it is unclear if they will do so.
While it wasn't clear at the moment why Paul was so upset, Dave McMenamin did his best to explain it after the game. He reported that a Dallas fan put his hands on Paul's mother and that his wife was also pushed. Paul's children were also in attendance, and according to McMenamin's source, "they felt very unsafe." Paul echoed those sentiments on Twitter after the game. "Wanna fine players for saying stuff to the fans but the fans can put they hands on our families….f--- that!!" Paul wrote. Paul is the former president of the NBA Player's Association, though his term has now concluded. How exactly the league and the union could go about fixing these issues is unclear, but the past few seasons have seen a number of high-profile incidents of fan misbehavior. A fan in Boston threw a water bottle at Irving in the 2021 postseason. Others have been accused of racist speech towards players. It has become one of the bigger problems in all of basketball, and while fans are getting ejected for it, players often face discipline for merely responding. Paul is clearly frustrated with that state of affairs, and if the league won't give players room to respond, it needs to do a better job of preventing these incidents from ever occurring. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/c...-4-per-report/ |

Couldn't have been too valuable because he's watching all the action from his couch.

It should be close, but they got it right. Jokic was #1 and I'd probably put Giannis at #2, only slightly above Embiid.

I know he carries his team far more than Joel carries the sixers. I was just making a funny as a KU homer. Though the sixers did seem to look night and day different with/without him against the Heat. Especially on the defensive end. Jokic is deserving, I just wanted it for Embiid.

Boston extended their season by another game. Still think Bucks take this series but they are giving the champs all they can handle
