NBA: Where Shoving Related Suspensions Happen.

So, David Lee and Roy Hibbert were suspended for this. Unofficial word is that the 90's Pacers and early 00's Pacers were ashamed of this fight. Also, Stephen Curry gets the Jeff Van Gundy award for failed attempt to be involved in a fight. 

 

Wednesday

GSW @ NYK ESPN 6PM

When you think of tough teams, you don’t think of Golden State. But they can clearly shove with the best of them.

MIL @ HOU LP 6PM

The homecoming for Samuel Dalembert. Actually, this happens to be a great matchup. Both of them have fiery guards and strong defensive big men. 

NOH @ OKC LP 6PM 

If the other two matchups weren't enough, I have another 6 PM (MST) matchup for you. The Thunder could use a win, and this would be the sort of matchup that would help cure their ills. Also, Anthony Davis goes against Serge Ibaka.  

Thursday

LAC @ IND LP 5PM

Hibbert will be back for this game, and both teams should be pretty solid. The Clippers are an exciting squad versus the blue collar defensive specialist Indiana Pacers.

Friday

MEM @ MIA ESPN 6 pm

Sometimes, you lose a player and it crushes a team. The Grizzlies on the other hand, have not missed Rudy Gay yet, and it doesn’t seem that they will. On the other hand, the Miami Heat are equatorially hot right now and they are a deeper better team.

DET @ NOH LP 6 pm

This is a lottery ball game. The Hornets have lots of potential and they are one high draft pick away. The Pistons have the front court of the future, but will Calderon stay? Will Stuckey be kept around? What’s the future of Brandon Knight?

OKC @ DEN ESPN 8:30 pm

Denver isn’t a title contender yet, but they are a squad with a passionate fan base and a lot of potential. They could make a lot of noise in the West, and a strong appearance here would do wonders for their perception around the league.

Saturday

BKN @ CHI LP 6pm

More slightly under the radar Eastern Conference teams.

TOR @ MIL LP 630

The raptors are clawing their way to the 8^th spot, and a win against the Bucks would be helpful here.

MIN @ POR NBATV 8pm

Minnesota, despite all their injuries, continue to be an amazing squad to watch.

Sunday

MIA @ NYK ABC 11AM

The current number top two spots in the east will be here. The Knicks have beaten the heat in the previous matchups this year.

OKC @ LAC ABC 1:30pm

I love watching these two teams play each other. Last time Chris Paul played against the Thunder he complained about Thabo Sefolosha guarding him. Sounds like a recipe for more Sefolosha in this game.
