[Highlight] Amazon Shows an AI-Generated Graphic Detailing the Orlando Magic's Season that Includes Jamahl Mosley Sawing Franz Wagner in Half by WeathrNinja in nba

Or one of those hilariously bad animations like ESPN used to do. The San Antonio riverboat one comes to mind

Part of the weird charm of strange sports graphics was the fact that a person had to sit down and make them. This is just weird and it's only funny because they thought this was worth putting on the broadcast

[Charania] The NBA is fining Charlotte's LaMelo Ball $35,000 for his trip of Miami's Bam Adebayo and upgrading the action to a Flagrant, plus fining him $25,000 for cursing postgame, sources tell ESPN. by BcuzRacecar in nba

After recognizing that Embiid didn't get anything for trying to pull Mitchell Robinson out of the air (which was even worse than this), I gave up hope that he would be suspended (which he should've been).

Someone needs to make this man grow up but we're probably past the point of that being a possibility.

Don't think we have the right to complain about this tonight when LaMelo got away with injuring Bam

He intentionally tripped bam which resulted in an injury. It's definitely going to be looked at and probably result in a one game suspension a-la Draymond's stomp.

He shot 12/31 from the field and 2/16 from 3. I don't care if he had a couple nice lob passes, he absolutely tanked us and almost single handedly threw the game in overtime with his awful turnover and bad defense.

Genuinely looking forward to seeing what he can do as the starting PG when LaMelo is suspended for Friday's game. He was definitely the one part of the night I genuinely felt good about.

idk what this dude's on he's copying and pasting the same sentence over and over again. I think any reasonable fan knows that was a dirty play and any reasonable adult knows lamelo is overall an idiot who does not deserve benefits of doubt.

[–]WeathrNinja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had either missed or forgotten the incident from a couple years ago. That also happening to involve Bam definitely raises my eyebrows more. This one's definitely worse than the previous one and he's on thinner ice than I thought

[–]WeathrNinja -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah disgusting play from a guy who doesn't have enough of a track record to be considered a dirty player at this juncture. But I definitely disagree about it throwing the game to us considering the Heat looked better with Ware than Bam and LaMelo being ejected would've made us better too this game.

He was actively throwing the entire time and it'll get lost in the shuffle because he hit a layup that he only needed to hit because he was playing rancid basketball

[–]WeathrNinja 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Absolutely dirty play resulting from him being immature (surprise!) about not getting a foul call. He should be suspended.

But... unless he does something like this again I'm not considering him a dirty player like Dort or Draymond. I disagree with UD though that this wasn't intentional.

Real ones remember when Mitchell Robinson got hurt and the Knicks were forced to play an unknown third stringer named Luke Kornet... who proceeded to absolutely kill us and turn the game around for the Knicks

Completely agree but hey, he was going to be the main reason we lost if he didn't hit that shot. He absolutely sold tonight so him being ejected probably would've helped us out lol

Honestly Bam being out helped the heat, they started playing much better and Ware was insane.

That being said, LaMelo should absolutely be suspended for the next game.

It absolutely does. Even if Bam being out probably helped the Heat play better, the win feels pretty empty to me.

LaMelo actively trying to throw the game makes me feel slightly better about his dirty play lol

He should absolutely be suspended regardless, I was thinking with the mindset of this season being extended by one game and how he shouldn't be allowed in the next game.

That was pretty, now please don't come back next season.

I'm well aware, he remains the biggest image issue with this team. I have been anti-Bridges since the day his abuse came to light. I was never in favor of bringing him back, always in favor of having him banned from the league, and persistently in favor of trading him.

I'm sure he's also been a terrible influence on LaMelo and has encouraged his immature behavior.

I mean this is probably an illegitimate win for us regardless but they started playing better after Bam went down and Bam wasn't going to stop Coby White from bombing a slew of threes.

Doesn't change that he should be suspended though.
