...by the way, here's the official take on the "wet willie" that wasn't a wet willie!

I guess I agree, but there are far more degrees of what a player brings than those poles. I'll take a guy that can play over a guy whose only contribution is being a bitch. And I'd like to be proud of my players. There's a way to be tough and get under other players' skin without throwing elbows or trying to injure people (Malone). Malone's superb basketball ability makes up for a lot of ****tiness as a human being, on the court, but ESPECIALLY off of it.
Speaking of embarrassments...
Seriously, do everyone on earth a favor and shut the **** up forever.
Well if you consider the game when to 3 OT's, every point mattered. That is giving up a free point.

Not in this case, since Hayward missed the ensuing technical free throw.
I do agree it is nice to see players stick up for themselves and show punk like West a lesson, but at the same time they have a job to do, and that is win basketball games. Some dude sticking his finger in your ear isn't something to get all upset over like a fake tough guy. Take the free point and let your game talk (his final state line pwns West's).
Lol, did he? I didn't watch the 1st half live. I guess that throws that bulk of my argument down the drain, but you get the principal.

You mean he'd take a swing and runaway like this, funny how both Crymelo and JR Smith are now in Knicks uniforms:

I'm with Cyrone on this. You don't get mad at a child when they do random things like this even when they're trying to get under your skin. Gordon treated West like the child he is. Plus I think that showing your fight during game action is much more important than acting like a high-school kid who as looked at wrong.
I think after something like that, all he has to do is talk great smack. Stuff like "you're mind is easier to get into than your mother."
This way he has a point of reference.
This **** gets me so heated. Mark bitch throws a punch then makes a b-line for the door........hoe ****.

Jeffries out there backing his man up. That was pretty cool.
Nate Robinson is funny. It wasn't even a brawl until he runs over with his little man complex and starts swinging around his T-Rex arms. Smith then tries to tackle Robinson but Robinson holds his own and starts working Smith. Smith was probably like oh crap this is a strong little dude.
You could hear the Melo Punch loud probably because it was under the hoop where a mic is near.

to the completely unnecessary 7 pages of discussion on this, my reply is simple: SCOREBOARD!
last time the mavs came to SLC, we were the team that lost our composure. and we lost. this time, the mavs lost their composure. and they lost. you wanna prove something? win the damn game.
this wasn't a fight. this was a notorious clown with a history of bad behavior and a well-documented bout with emotional/mental problems. he did something stupid and deserved to get T'd up, and if the jazz had responded inappropriately then they'd have allowed this idiot to get in THEIR heads instead of the other way around.
in the short term, it helped the jazz win to maintain their composure (hayward scored the next 5 jazz points in a 5-2 mini-run that extended the jazz's lead to 6)... and if anybody thinks it would have helped the jazz long-term, let me remind you that we are already down to 11 healthy bodies, so having guys get suspended would basically end the playoff push.

Strictly your opinion. It was necessary for us because we wished to discuss it. Ha!
