I wonder if Jaden will get suspended a game. It wouldn't surprise me if he did along with Klay. I think Draymond will get suspended for multiple games. I hope Jaden doesn't get suspended for tonight's game but I'm kind of bracing for that possibility and I think the NBA will announce any suspensions from last night's game somtime before tonight's tipoff.

Love everything in this sequence. Conley directing traffic to clear SloMo out if his zone, Ant's great pass, and Conley's cold-blooded game-clinching three with no emotion. Worth a watch.
Effing Mike Conley. Absolutely brilliant to get him in the lockerroom and on the floor next to Ant. He has been the IDEAL backcourt mate and mentor for Ant. Kudos once again to Tim Connelly for that deal.

Just had a great time listening to Justin Termine and Eddie Johnson on NBA radio. Of course they were going to talk about the scuffle, but they did it in such a great way. First Termine went after Steve Kerr and just blasted him for among other things his hypocrisy and enabling of Draymond. He also said Kerr was flat out lying about Rudy putting his hands on Klay's neck. It didn't happen. He also lambasted him for being one of the few or only coaches who will directly target a player like he did with Rudy last night. Kerr complains about other teams players being dirty, and then turns around and enables his to do the same. You guys know how little respect I have for Kerr. It was just great to hear it on national radio.

Secondly, Eddie said that Klay started the situation. He extended his arm and grabbed Jaden by the collar. He said there was no disputing of that. He went on to confirm that Rudy was playing peacemaker when Dray got him in the choke hold. They both said it could have been dangerous with how long he held on to the choke, and advocated for a lengthy suspension.

It was just a great segment for a Wolves fan. Grab a listen if you get the chance.

He already sat an entire game. There were no punches thrown. I guess the only thing that could be suspendable is starting the whole fracas that led to the Dray choke hold. I'm hoping Jaden just gets fined.

Haha. He didn't sit the entire game or the fracas wouldn't have happened, but I get that he sat "close to a whole game" because of when the incident occurred. I don't think the NBA will view it as a suspended game served. I'd say there is some chance he gets suspended as he retaliated after Klay initiated it but I'll be happy if its just a fine. We need Jaden tonight as Suns have their big three. Without Jaden, Wolves are probably cooked, but with Jaden we probably have some chance of winning, though I favor the Suns, who are more rested, on their home court and have something to prove after a poor start.
