Brunson has a history night as his team beat the Suns on their home court.

Brunson sets records from deep, drops career-high 50 in Knicks' win

He's not missing 3 point shots, he was 9-9 beyond the arc and the major reason why the Knicks were able to route the Suns. If he gets going like this, I believe the knicks will be a legit team in the playoffs, I mean, he should shoot more as his shot selection are very accurate.

Green suspended again? This guy shouldn't be in the floor ever again. I can't count how many controversy he had. He's a disgrace to the basketball.
He is becoming disgusting and it is best for him to be out for as long as possible to teach him a hard lesson. But banning Draymond is not easy because of his numerous NBA accomplishments and he could be in the Hall of Fame as one of the greats. Steve Kerr and Mike Dunleavy are not challenging the choice of the NBA to suspend Draymond Green indefinitely.

Embiid broke another record while Sixers beat Pistons. He made 30+ points and 10+ rebounds in 3 quarters and made this achievement 9 times consecutively. His stats are better than last year already. I think he'll be regular season MVP again.
Pistons is just as we know. Let's be honest, they can't win any games with this team.
And Giannis Antetokounmpo also set a team record with his 64 points in his last game. But Embiid worked better this season without Harden. It will be a tight race for MVP once more for Embiid, Jokic, and Giannis.

The Lakers have been playing so well lately and then today they mess up my parlay by losing to the now 4-20 San Antonio Spurs. That should’ve been a gimme. They need to work on keeping the same energy they had in the tournament. Also news, the Spurs are attempting to trade for Bol Bol to create an insane twin tower situation in Texas.

The interesting thing to me about Draymond Green’s suspension is that it is indefinite. I can’t recall ever seeing the NBA do this type of suspension before. I think it’s a good thing as long as he doesn’t come back next week and I think it shows the league actually cares about his mental health a bit. I also think if they suspended him longer for the Gobert choking, this may have been avoided.

When you get a suspension, it is automatically cut from your salary, NBA players get paid per game basis and not per year basis to be fair, we do talk about per year basis because its easier to make the calculation that way, but they actually do get paid per game. That means, if you play all 82 games and you get paid 82 million (nobody does, just to make it easy example) that means you get paid 1 million per game. Injury doesn't count into that, if you get injured then you get paid every game as well, but on the game day, not beforehand, not afterwards. So when you are suspended, that means it will be cut from your salary, or at least that's the normal conduct, don't know if warriors would make a special case for Draymond and pay him, but they do have the right to not pay him if they do not want to, its in the contract.

Finally the NBA made the right decision for Draymond Green.

Draymond Green’s suspension is good for everyone
Good for everyone that hates him.

Despite that suspension, the salary will still keep going but it depends on the management if they'll continue with the wage for him. But most likely that it is still.

For those that are not yet satisfied, they might be thinking of him to also involve the pay and give him some cut with it for extra satisfaction. LOL.

What a mistake, he thought that he can always get away with these elbows, punches techniques that he does.

Yes, there are viewers who are happy with the decision that the league implement for him, a deserving decision as he keeps repeating
it and thinks that he can always find ways to escape from the possible damages that he made.

Now that there's already a suspension, he might need to reflect and re-assess everything, but if he thinks that he still doing the right thing.

There's no change that might happen, he will be what he thinks he should be.

Poll Question: First team to get 20 wins?
Celtics - 10 (50%)
Magic - 4 (20%)
Bucks - 1 (5%)
Sixers - 0 (0%)
Timberwolves - 3 (15%)
Nuggets - 0 (0%)
Mavericks - 0 (0%)
Thunder - 2 (10%)

Total Voters: 20

So far 20 people voted and half of them voted for Celtics. Right now Celtics is 18-5 and the closest team to 20 wins with Timberwolves.

Tonight Celtics will host Magic, that's really a though game for Eastern Conference. Celtics is 12-0 at home, this may be the hardest home game for them so far. Magic is 5-5 on the road though. I really like how Celtics play this season so I'm going with them tonight.

I think the Celtics are on a second night of a back to back so it will be difficult.  But yeah from a pure win and not using spread Celtics should win this game rather easily.  Celtics are a powerhouse at home amd I like theor chances.  So long as brown, Tatum and kp are playing Celtics shoukd tend to always be the favorite especially at home.

Now, the Warriors will defenitely struggle on their defense without him as they were playing a small ball when Draymond is a significant player for their success, without him, their playoffs hope might be done this season.

No offense to Warriors fans but that was a long time ago. The efficiency of Draymond Green in terms of defense way back during the Warriors rode to stardom isn't present now. Draymond Green is proven to be useless without the Splash brothers alongside the court. It does mean that he's not perfectly blend well to other Warriors players.

Regardless if he's going to be ban or not, the Warriors defense are just on usual and will just follow Kerr's mechanism. Regarding on that recent flagrant incident involving him, I really don't understand why he never changed since then lol. He's now becoming a veteran player at least he should show maturity on the court.

Draymond Green was always the "tough guy" on the court.  That's how he defined his career.  It's all good and we'll when you are winning but when you are losing it becomes amplified.  They do drop defensive efficiency long run without him though.  No way Looney can come in and provide 30-35 minutes a game with a lock down presence.  A lot of what draymond provides doesn't show up in the box score.

It's probably the age factor as well contributed to what we are seeing like the start of the demise of one of the most dominant team 2010's up to this era. And it's obvious that Draymond Green needs serious help with his outburst an unsportsmanlike conduct.

And I guess teams already is used to the Warriors offense, although still one of the best with Curry and Klay, but teams are now starting to shut them down as well, and again, ageing players like the two and then the curse of CP3 with them right now,  Cheesy.

As for Draymond, everyone will agree that he should seek professional help and that the Warriors should provide him with the best that they can get to help this man.

Quote
It was fairly shocking on Wednesday night, when the NBA announced an indefinite suspension for Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green. I had anticipated a fine and probably a one-game suspension after Green struck Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkić in the face on Tuesday, resulting in a Flagrant 2 foul and an ejection in a game the Dubs would lose by three points.

He's on indefinite suspension and it's not certain when he'll come back, but most likely it will a long period of time.

When they say indefinite, it is usually earlier than people think. So, it turns out not too big of a punishment. Nevertheless, it is actually great that they don't just suspend one-two games. After I saw that punch, I thought to myself I wish he got a big suspension but probably they will not give it. But it turns out they did. He did this so many times now the punishment must have been dissuasive. Otherwise this kind of behaviour would spread a lot in a league like nba. Nba management should be hard on this issue and so far they are better than expected. It will surely affect GSW a lot and it should. Their defence is getting a big hit, they will probably focus more on the offence and 3 pointers.

Great and impressive win by the Clippers, even without PG, they defeated the Warriors. Although Golden State make it close in the 4th, but they didn't have the defense inside as they allow easy shots to Powell.

I was also impressed earlier, I mean, they are doing what the fans expected them to do because they have all the necessary players to dominate the other teams and they winning 7 straight right now which indicates that they are going to have a playoff spot if this will gonna continue. That would be better than not making it despite they have this great player with them. I really hope they play like this because those 4 players are one of my favorites when they are playing like how they used to be in their early years in the NBA.
Was about to bet for the Clippers in this game but forgot they got a game for today but anyways congratulations to them for winning and looks like their streak will continue. I think George will be able to return in no time and glad that wasn't a legitimate injury once again or it could salvage again their team.

This was long time for coming, Draymond deserved this long long time ago, and he lost a whole ring because of this and yet he still didn't learn from it. We all know that Cavs managed to make that comeback because Draymond was fined that game and couldn't play, his suspension for was just one game but that game was the finals game so it was a huge deal, and he kept on playing dirty after that too.

The problem is not that he did something bad, that's of course not nice and requires a lot of self reflection but the main problem is that he always finds and excuse, and I am 100% guaranteed that he is not lying, he thinks he did nothing wrong. This time it was "I just wanted to sell the call" and we all know his kicking of the nether region was "shooting motion" and so forth. He needs to be banned for a long time, lose his contract, sponsors, and just be vet min journeyman career from here on out.

Yes, that is the thing with Draymond though, he always find excuses, as if he is above the law and cannot be touch by the NBA. But no, he is just another player, there was no "shooting motion" and I think the did it with bad intentions to hit Nurkic and anyone in the past.

20 games suspension or more would be enough though for me. However, if he did it again and again, then maybe a long suspension or a ban is merited because this is not a NA player should behave inside the court. Yes, they are competitive, but to hurt someone like you are in the street? I think the Warrior is done for this season already (sorry WArriors fans), because of this drama created by Draymond Green and I wouldn't be surprised if their big 3 will be disbanded and only Steph remains with the Warriors.

He'll be back for sure, it's just an indefinite suspension and the NBA management should done better with that decision. This isn't the first time that Dray did that to another player, good thing that Nurkic doesn't hold a grudge on what he did. If it's other players that are too hot to handle, well, it's gonna be a war.

What's better with indefinite suspension is, a total ban and that's for sure going to suffice all of the mistakes that he has done for all of these years with all of those intentional physicalities he did to other players.

Now, the Warriors will defenitely struggle on their defense without him as they were playing a small ball when Draymond is a significant player for their success, without him, their playoffs hope might be done this season.
They have to suffer the consequence of his actions and I guess that even if it's an indefinite suspension, they don't have that much pool on their bench players to replace him with his role.

I don't think anyone will deny the fact that Green is a dirty player and always has been throughout his NBA career. In my opinion, the NBA management made the absolutely right decision by suspending him indefinitely.
I wonder how long it will take him to realize and accept certain conditions of the team and the league before he can return. There are doubts that he will change something in his mind and be able to control his emotions in some other way.
