Re: NBA Random
Consenting relationship with a female employee. Violation of team policies.
Again. Consenting.

Re: NBA Random
It is yet another sign that the world has gone insane when a mutually consenting relationship is punished. Assuming that both parties are of the age of majority - which is obviously a very safe assumption in this case -, how can a mutually consenting relationship possibly be "inappropriate"?!!?
And not only is it punished - but it's punished more severely than is behaviour which actually does obvious harm...
It is quickly getting to the point where people will no longer be able to so much as look at each other or say 'hello' without someone loudly objecting and inflicting punishment.
Again - this is the absolute definition of insanity.
And if one is looking for irony - and blatant hypocrisy -, one need look no further that the man chosen to replace him as Celtics coach:
"Joe Mazzulla has developed a rather unfortunate habit of finding his way into the police blotter. The first incident came in 2008, when Mazzulla was charged with underage drinking and aggravated assault at a Pittsburgh Pirates game. In 2009, Mazzulla was suspended by West Virginia coach Bob Huggins for his arrest on charges of domestic battery. Mazzulla allegedly grabbed a woman by the neck at The Lady Lizard bar in Morgantown, W.Va. Both incidents involved alcohol.” – ESPN.
Incredible.

For Matt Barnes to come out like this...

Re: NBA Random
Wasn't Barnes involved in a serious domestic assault issue at one time? Something related to his ex-wife and another NBA player?
If such a situation is "messier", then, please, let the law handle it.

Re: NBA Random
Do you think they're giving him a year suspension to allow him to resign?

Re: NBA Random
I am really lost. The little bit I read was what I said above: he was being suspended because he was having an "affair" with a female employee, but it was consensual. Then, I have read nothing more, until you posted the Barnes' tweet, which makes it sound as if something very messy is going on.
I hope not, as I like Ime (as much as I dislike the Celtics). But by now, we know about "first reports".

Re: NBA Random
With all this talk about Doncic's hot start of the season (8 straight 30+ games) I was wondering what is the all time list and at any stage of the season. According to the article below 10+ has only been done 27x. Surprisingly few times, I would have guessed players like Jordan or James would be doing it every season.
