Mike Conley said that Rudy Gobert already sent a text message in the Wolves group chat apologizing for the incident today.

Kyle Anderson said it's something he and Rudy could move forward from. "We'll speak about it and move on. We're grown men."

In hindsight if Clippers would have tanked todays game they would have gotten the favorable Kings matchup. Instead they get the matchup nobody really wanted with the Suns.

The Pelicans game went down to the wire so they couldn't really tank the game without risking being in the play-in tournament.

The way everything fell it feels like a first round exit coming up for them. If they would have gotten the Kings matchup then I think they advance and give Paul George time to return.

Looks like if we beat Minnesota on Tuesday we won't play Memphis until Sunday. That will be huge for us to get all that rest.

Sounds like Gobert could play.

Quote:
Gobert later sent an apologetic text to teammates in a group chat, per Mike Conley. “We'll speak about it and move on,” he said. “We're grown men.”

ESPN Sources: Minnesota’s Rudy Gobert escalated a verbal argument to a physical encounter after Kyle Anderson told him to “Shut the f--- up, (bleep).” The disagreement started with Anderson telling Gobert to block some shots, Gobert telling him to grab a rebound – and ended with a punch and Gobert getting sent home.


I imagine it’s tough to get through an entire season playing with Gobert and not saying that to him.

Fighting in practice should be handled by the team.

Fighting on national television should be handled by the league and the same throw a punch rule should apply.

I'm sure it won't, but it should.

Clippers had a chance to dodge the Suns by losing today, they would have finished sixth and played the Kings.

That was pelican dependent and their game ended before the pelicans. Had the pelicans lost sure they get 6. Had the pelicans won they are in the play in with the Lakers in the 7-8 game. Sure you can say 11 straight but it would be the biggest game the franchise has ever played and they could choke. Then they would play the SGA revenge game.

Lue outright asked on the bench what’s the score of the minny and pelicans game before he went and the team won this one. That 1 point game wasn’t worth the risk of it all because he could have been in the 7th seed needing to beat the Lakers in a big game, could have been in 8 and got stuck with Denver, or could miss th playoffs all together

Especially when Kyle Anderson had 9 rebounds that game

They was a rumor that DLO couldn't stand Gobert and wanted out of Minny. Not sure if true.

He didn't want out of Minny. He was apparently frustrated with Gobert dropping passes and let it known. Minny held that against him and went for Conley who played with Gobert in Utah. Maybe the only guard that gets along with Gobert given he fell out with Donavan Mitchell too.
