Ayton suspended, KAT fighting Embiid, and Miles Turner sprained an ankle. My first three picks in our fantasy league are out. Awesome.
Send me a PM if you're interested in joining the phx-suns.net fantasy basketball league.

I think the most disappointing thing about that video is when Embiid goes over to his bench and they are all high-fiving and encouraging him. The dumbass just got into a fight during a game and is going to be suspended. It is nothing to be happy and encouraging about.
Re: Around the League: Week 2 10/28-11/3
Yea I wouldn't be surprised if the league gives him more games or a higher fine for that. Maybe fine the team too just to send a message? Not a good look.

Ayton. Diuretic. 25 games.
Embiid. Brawl. Riling up the bench and fans. 2 games.
NBA. Gotta love it.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

They still have very good players and really know how to scout.

I can’t believe Simmons didn’t get suspended.
Simmons: literally puts KAT in a choke hold. Not suspended.
Amare & Diaw: takes 5 steps off the bench then turns around and goes back. Suspended a playoff game.
Stupid.

Yeah, it turns out he was labeled by the referees in their report as “peacemaker”. Minnesota is challenging that.
Re: Around the League: Week 2 10/28-11/3
I can't believe Embiid gets 2, two fooking games for literally fighting with another player on the court, while Ayton gets over 12x as many games for taking a diuretic. It makes no sense. Embiid could have seriously hurt one of the league's best young players. Ayton took magic peepee juice. Why is the latter 12x worse than the former?

One is seen as cheating the game, the other is exciting.
In other news, Alex Len still sucks.

Diuretics usually only means one thing ... PED’s.
So cheating, iow.
I’m thankful Ayton only got 25 games.
But how he singularly got caught? In view of Amare / Diaw vs Embiid / KAT and the Donaghy / Sarver hoo ha, I find that a far more controversial topic.

Sorry for yelling, but the league is just following the rules the players all signed up to follow. If you don't like the idea of a 25 game suspension for a 1st offense getting a positive test for a diuretic, then don't take a fucking diuretic. It isn't complicated. Nobody else got suspended for it and there are literally hundreds of guys in the league.

I've only seen the incident from a couple of angles, but it doesn't look like much of a fight to me. Just two brothers hugging it out.

Re: Around the League: Week 2 10/28-11/3
I thought the league would've been justified in giving Embiid something extra for what we was doing after the scruff.
Re: Around the League: Week 2 10/28-11/3
I was disappointed the Suns didnt get a mention in Lowe's 10 things article this week:

Didn't Lowe give us an F- or something for our offseason? Might've been someone else.
Re: Around the League: Week 2 10/28-11/3
Yes, it is in the contract. I'm not saying that Ayton's suspension in itself is unfair, nor that he should get a tiny suspension such as 1-2 games. I am saying that it's weird that fighting another player, which is not only unsportsmanlike but also risks injury or worse to both players and others, is seen as being less than 10% as bad as taking a peepee drug.Indy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 01, 2019 6:35 amIT IS IN THE CONTRACT.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 5:53 pmI can't believe Embiid gets 2, two fooking games for literally fighting with another player on the court, while Ayton gets over 12x as many games for taking a diuretic.
