Hes deadly at lawn darts after a couple molson canadians

When you say deadly...

[S.R.]

well a fight is an automatic 1. Ibaka started the altercation so he will get more then Chris that bumps it up to 2. now you have to take in Ibaka past which will likely add another game to make it 3. if the nba wants to really send a message it will be 4. in grams got 4 cause he sparked the whole things pushing harden. he then ran in and threw a suckered punch when 2 other dudes were fighting. best case scenario I think is 3 games for Ibaka.

Ingram got an extra game tagged onto his because Lance Stephenson of all people was trying to cool him down and Adam Silver's rule is if Lance Stephenson is trying to talk you down, you get an automatic bonus game added to your suspension. Rule is called "Cray Cray +1" page 45 Section C Subsection 41-A.

Good research, but while the rule now applies to loony Lance, it did not begin with him. It was handed down by the artist previously known as Ron Artest, who had it handed down by the godfather, the worm. Thus, it was known as the Rodman Rule.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

When do we need to pick up that 14th guy? The deadline has to be coming up soon, no?

Cool, thanks! So we get to see what the team is like without Ibaka for one game. If we struggle with Boucher or Siakam at the 5 than we're probably going to want to pick up another center for the short term. Maybe Gortat on a 10 day or something.

Had actually been going by what I'd heard others say, I think, but just found this on Hoopshype... So maybe Saturday?

Toronto and Miami have been at 13 players since March 2, when 10-day contracts expired for Jodie Meeks and Emanuel Terry, respectively. They’ll have until this Saturday to get back to 14 players. Meeks and Terry remain on the free agent market, making them candidates to rejoin the Raptors and Heat, but both teams could end up going in different directions.

Either way, they've used up most of that window and will likely try to add some depth for Thursday's game.

Imagine they pick up Gortat and he plays his way ahead of Gasol in the rotation (not even inconceivable at the moment). That would be so funny I would cry so hard.

Gortat has NBA Finals experience, fwiw. His rebounding has not dropped off since his prime, so he'd instantly become our best defensive rebounder and possibly best screen setter. If those things becomes important in certain matchups, then moving ahead of Gasol or Ibaka in the depth chart is not inconceivable. Gortat is kind of like an older, less talented version of JV.

Doubt it. If Gortat plays here and plays well, you give the starting spot to Gasol, Gortat plays back up C, Ibaka slides to backup PF/C and OG goes back to his natural SF spot.

Orlando, Phoenix, Washington, LAC...
