The shot of the night was Wemby's elbow shot on Nas Reed's neck. Got a flagrant 2, ejected from the game. We found out this morning Wemby won't be suspended, will not be fined, and that life just goes on. And then I saw Mitch Johnson's press conference. I was like, whoa. He took matters in his own hand, and if the referees ain't gonna call it, I'm happy he did. But there's intent, guys. I'm not one to ever wanna see guys get suspended because I think that shit is whack. But Jaden McDaniels and Joker just got fined for much less. I would say to the Minnesota Timberwolves, "Hey guys, this is fair game. There's no suspension, there's no fines. This is fair game. Coming out there tomorrow night and doing it to Wimby. Who's gonna elbow him in the face?" That's what I would be saying. You gotta get your get back. If nobody's coming back at those guys going back at Wimby, you lose the war. 'Cause what he just did was set a tone. And you either go full force at it or you get rolled over. Yo.
