    Looks like Ibaka is gonna get suspended. Robin Lopez as well. Ibaka was banging with Lopez under the rim and Robin took offense smacked the ball out of his hands and started pushing him. Lopez threw the first punch and missed then Ibaka threw a punch and connected. Robin took it like a champ. Both players ejected. 

    Raps have lost 11 straight to Chicago. How is that possible. Looks like they may lose another unless they find a spark from this which maybe the case. Some 90’s basketball here.

     Both punched each others ears, should be equal penalties. Looked like serious intent behind each punch but neither really landed. Nice to see a little bad blood going around lately.

    Yeah I wouldn’t say Serge’s connected but the intent was definitely there. Depending on how long he’ll be suspended, could that affect their seeding?

     I think Lopez will get 3 games and Ibaka will get 2. Or 2 and 1. Lopez defenitely instigated the fight and Ibaka was defending himself. The worst part for Lopez case was the postgane interveiws he kind of was nonchalant and unremorseful wjere as Ibaka tried to explain that behavior was not im his nature and would not be a reacurring event. 

    To awnser subzero I dont think Ibaka being suspended has that much of an impact on the team when looking at the schedule. The next game is against Miami which will be another tough game but the matchup is favourable because they rely heavily on Whiteside which means we can give Valanciunas big minutes as he has come out on top in that head to head batyle more often than not. Then we play Dallas who has been playing Nowitzki at C and Mejri as releif which is another matchup Jonas has excelled in. Then we play Orlando who Valanciunas can play against Vucevic and Biyombo. I doubt he gets more than 3 games.

     Ibaka clearly instigated it with a shove for no reason after the ball had already careened away. Robin responded in kind.

       I gotta admit Ibaka is kind of a sneaky player (didnt wanna say dirty). Him and Valanciunas probally lead the league in throwing elbows that certain camera angles cant see. I see the Raptors having alot of these skirmishes going forward as teams are gonna be very frustrated playing them.
