I'm pretty sure Steve Ballmer is the only person still there from his time as a Clipper, and I've never heard Paul or any player say something negative about Ballmer.

I think he'll get more pleasure out of beating Rondo than knocking out the Clippers.

Thank you, sir!

The petition has over 2.5k votes/signatures already and it is going up by the minute.

I would like to encourage you all to sign and share this - if you haven't done so already. This blowing up could be huge.

Hopefully it can get enough attention for Adam Silver to see it and maybe even realize that people are fed up with this kind of one-sided officiating.

I could be delusional but I believe that this could actually have an impact on the selection of referees for the upcoming games and thereby help our cause of winning a chip.

Thank you for reading this, everybody.

The Valley-Oop! Go Suns - in 4.

I do feel badly for Nader - he played pretty well most of the time he was called on and he's missing out on the big reward.

Nader is somewhat similar to Craig with more length but maybe a little less toughness. Similar impact on defense and similar in making some seriously boneheaded mistakes on offense. If he were more scrappy that’d make him almost a perfect role player.

Craig is quite a bit better than Nader and I think he better fits the role the Suns need at this point.

I was wondering if the NBA would do anything about that.

Now that it's been all but confirmed that Paul will play in game 3, I wonder if we'll ever find out the source of his COVID infection.

I'm assuming we won't get that info, but it would be helpful if it turned out to be something related to interacting with celebrating fans.

Paul probable? That sounds like he’s playing to me! Freaking A!

Cousins hit with a tech? What does that mean? They add a tech to his tech list for the playoffs? He hasn’t played enough for that to be any kind of factor at all. That basically means “shame on you?” and nothing more.

It means he has to pay the league office money too.

What I want to know is, what the hell was that tech on Crowder early in the first?

That was just Scott Foster being a jackass. He literally came from the the other side of the play and immediately pointed to Crowder and whoever on the Clippers.

We should get a free throw shot at the start of game 3.

Yeah. They do L2M reports but I guess the league should also review all technicals, no? Crowder didn’t do anything. He got shoved by Morris and reacted by staring at him for no more than half a second before that tech was assessed. Shouldn’t they look at that and rescind it? It is 2000 dollar fine or something, no?

I'm pretty sure Crowder said something. I thought I saw it during the live telecast, but I couldn't find a video with that angle.

Was it enough to warrant a technical foul? Unlikely.

I know some of you guys were asking me why the Username and if it had to do with Baja (Mexico/Cali) then most I think remember I said I'm from Caribbean so believe it's Bahamas

So just to clarify again
I'm from Barbados - the formal term is I'm a Barbadian
The slang is I'm a Bajan

BigLewy told me he would have vacationed here before and that made me feel good. So yea...

Home

I have indeed vacationed there, and LOVED it. Will likely be planning a return trip in a few years. Such a beautiful country.

Suns' Chris Paul listed as probable to return from COVID protocols for Game 3 of Western finals vs. Clippers
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/suns ... -clippers/
Paul passed a cardio exam, which is required in order to be cleared to play again, per Haynes. The veteran guard was first placed into the protocols on June 16 after testing positive for COVID-19. However, he's been asymptomatic since his isolation, and his vaccination status made the typical quarantine timeline of 10-14 days shorter for Paul. Following the Suns' sweep of the Denver Nuggets in the second round, Paul reportedly flew to Los Angeles to surprise his wife and kids, and upon landing in L.A., he found out about his positive COVID-19 test. It's still unknown how he contracted it, per Haynes.

Barring any unforeseen setbacks, Paul should be ready to go for the Suns on Thursday, and head coach Monty Williams already said he will not hesitate to throw his point guard directly into the fire. "I'm sure if I tried to keep Chris out of the game, we'd have to square off and go toe-to-toe," Williams said before Game 2. "So we'll just make that assessment when the time comes."

My fault. You know us stupid Americans can barely find Canada on a map.

Lol
You always with the jokes bro. We have educated folks and quite a diverse group on the forum

But yes, I've had my share of that over the years especially when I was younger and used to go to NY to work out.

"I'm from Barbados"
Oh where's that yo
"In the Caribbean"
Huh ? Never heard of that. Oh is that like in Jamaica
"No Barbados is it's own island man"

I can laugh now but that used to really get to me
