Marcin Gortat, whose pop popped people for a living as a boxer, thinks hoops should should share a similarity with hockey and support fighting. The Polish Hammer wants players to have the chance to hammer out their differences, a suggestion that strikes us as savage (we can already picture J.R. Smith pulling a sleeved jersey over his opponent's head as they square off* and LeBron flopping as soon as someone swings within a few feet of his face). "Quick, 15-20 seconds, throw a few punches, then referees jump in and break this thing up," he proposes. He thinks it would be a hit with fans. We'd rather watch players fly than fists. Based on his basketbrawl idea, we're giving him new nickname: Goro-tat.
He hates black ice more than most: Minnesota Rep. Pat Garofalo opened his big(ot) mouth Sunday when the twit tweeted that if 70% of teams in the league folded the only visible effect would be a rise in crime. Because if there's one portion of the population who refrain from wrongdoing it's politicians. He also accused The Association of having a lax drug policy. Too bad that dope didn't know the NBA tests for marijuana more times per year than the other three major North American leagues. We hope voters weed out the loutish lawmaker this fall when he's up for reelection, but this is the state that has elected a pro wrestler and an SNL scribe. "I don't have a racist bone in my body," he insisted. That's doubtful. We're betting his friends and Twitter followers are just like his bones: all white.
*Mike Woodson wishes there was a penalty box he could send Smith to.
