Rudy Gobert became the first NBA player in 15 seasons to get tossed in the first three minutes of a game, according to ESPN.
After picking up his second foul against Houston, last week, he slapped away a couple of water cups at the scorer's table, triggering his ejection.
"Fouls were called," Gobert said, "and I had a stupid reaction."
Not necessarily.
Rock On believes any time you can throw things at the office and take the day off it's a good thing.

LIGHTS OUT
BYU's Nick Emery exchanged pleasantries with Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak prior to Saturday's rivalry game.

"It's not for TV," he said after BYU's 15-point win.
Neither were the Utes, Coach. Neither were the Utes.
