Weirdest Player-Referee interaction ever. Its like the ref wanted to square up with Shaun. He was backing away and the ref just kept coming at him, egging him to make contact, then BAM! EJECTED! And Shaun should get the benefit of the doubt. He is one of the most humble and most calm player in the league, and he had good reason to be agitated with that close out on him.

By the way, can anyone explain what's up with Devin Booker? Last year he had a 70 point game. And he just had a 46 point game. I looked at his stats from 2015-2017, and although his avg 24+ PPG, he has a lot of games with 30+ and 40+ points.

He is basically the only scoring threat on the suns so he gets tons of shots. When he hot he can put up huge numbers.

His eFG% has been about .475 (but so far this year up to .525) for reference. Curry is at .575. More or less he's the only option on a bad team so lots of opportunity. Ideally if the suns get better he will get a few less shots which will up his % (which are ok considering the volume)

The other thing is pho plays fast so more shot opportunities and their d has been bad so they get the ball back quickly!

And its fun watching him. He's like a kid giggling everytime camera is on him

Donovan Mitchell had some nice P&R drive finishes against the Pelicans the night before this, but Gary Harris' finish against the Lakers was a beauty on this one.

Good breakdown of Lonzo Ball's shooting struggles by Gilbert Arenas in this 7 minute vid (pleasantly surprised):

Not sure why he targeted Shaun when Draymond is such an easy target.

Ya his wording on that part was weird and not very clear. It took me longer into the vid to see what he meant.

Golden State dodged a bullet. the MRI revealed no soft tissue damage.
http://www.sportsnet.ca/basketball/nba/report-no-timetable-return-injured-warriors-star-steph-curry/

it'll be re-evaluated in 2 weeks. so its a pretty bad sprain.
it looked nasty.

Jay Triano and Demar Derozan are still buddies

Fred Van Vleet running the Toronto offense in the 4th quarter with Lowry and Derozan on the floor.

here is the Booker injury. he was carried off while putting no weight on either leg.
looks like he grabbed at his inner thigh.

I think that was intentional. Agent Zero does this sneaky diss and switch all the time, and the "and his height and dribbling..." is just red herring. He did this to Lebron in a segment for the Cavs-Warriors championship, saying things like "Lebron acts like a point guard... which is ok because he should get an easy layup all the time against other pgs" and "What the Warriors should do is what the Mavs and Spurs did, let Lebron shoot. He has no jump shot... but he will get his numbers". Classic Agent Zero stuff I guess.

I'm sure Magic picked up on that. I suspect that was one of the reasons why Lonzo had to go in for a private workout to reassure the Laker brass that he was good enough to be their #2 pick.

I watched the video and it's very clear what he meant. And it's obviously not what we think about when we read this quote out of context.

Andy Miller just relinquished his NBA Agent Certification. he is a pretty big agent. this FBI Investigation into NCAA shenanigans just got a lot bigger.

https://www.sbnation.com/2017/9/26/16371600/andy-miller-client-list-agent-college-basketball-scandal

Pitino went down.. i wonder if Miller and/or the agency he works for is going down as well.

Seems like a rare occurrence, typically techs are seemingly arbitrary.

They are seemingly arbitrary because the players are allowed to do too much. Tell the players, you scream at a ref, you get a tech.

I agree if they fix reffing, but the system is broken, and the refs deserve worse most of the time
