And the "No Chill" America of 2018 hits the NBA on one of it's biggest days of the regular season...

So, let's see here...  Just Monday, Martin Luther King Day:
  • 21 technicals, 5 players tossed.
  • Russell Westbrook gets the heave-ho after being fouled in the face and getting no call, leading Carmelo Anthony to say he's "done" with the referees.  Judging by similar fines, an announcement on a probable $15,000-$25,000 fine for Anthony should come about Thursday.
  • Ben Simmons and Kyle Lowry were two of the five players given early exits on Monday, and they said they were going to have some more words after in the tunnel.  They probably didn't, according to Deadspin.
  • Some people who definitely had some more words after were the Houston Rockets, who apparent got some help from former Clipper Chris Paul and stormed the Los Angeles Clipper locker room after the game.  No current word on discipline against the Rockets involved.  Some word is they wanted a piece of Austin Rivers, the Clippers' coach's son.
And another fight tonight! Minnesota/Orlando, and Arron Affalo and Nemanja Bjelica added their names to the ejectee list...

Mr. Silver, you better get your league under control.
