There have been way more than 10 Duke players in the league.

I'm praying the Bulls keep Bobby Portis and draft Grayson Allen

My internet died tonight so yay phone watching to start the NBA season.

But also holy loving :lol: Bulls. Portis broke Mirotic's face is the crazy capstone to the off-season.

By the way it is incredible that the NBA kept the offseason drama going until literally hours before the first game of the season. What a summer it has been

This has got to be the greatest NBA offseason of all time. Glad we got it after such a boring season.

Crazy if he is permanently disfigured. For some reason I'm reminded of the time doctors had to cut off Najera's face and it looked fine after.

Might not have been a cheapshot tbh

If they had already gotten into it and into a shoving match.

It might have been a fair one.

all of the dumb NBA drama that we all love so much is at least 35% fake

e: just skipped from page 3 over to this, totally missed the Krazy Eyez Killa drama on the Bulls, that's got to be it for Portis as a Bull, the man who took one too many pump fakes

That doesn't speak to anything. There's a shoving match in half the practices; 99% of the time it doesn't end up with someone in the hospital.

probably not.

It depends on what led to it and if it Portis was provoked into it.


Not that that it seriously excuses swinging on someone, but it's treated completely differently if it was instigated or just an outright blindside cheapshot.

If you're hospitalizing coworkers you've got to be talented. Portis doesn't have the talent to survive this.
