You gotta really be asking for it for Bobby to knock you out cold. He’s one of the nicest and most respectful players I’ve ever met. Yes sir, and no sir kid, and I’m not even that much older than him. I really hope this doesn’t hurt his career, because I felt like this year was the year for him to really shine.
On another note, how in the world are these 2 guys going to ever be able to play together again. How do you work with somebody that knocked you out cold. And you gotta lose respect among your teammates as well getting beat up by a younger player, after you allegedly started it. He can’t talk trash to any of them ever again. If I’m Mirotic I’m requesting a trade no way he survives being in that lockeroom again.
Is this being reported or are you just basing it on the fact there was a fight and it looks bad?
That (them not picking up his 4th year) seems very premature, especially in light of the latest reports.
“Mirotic charged at Portis twice before Portis threw a punch and connected with Mirotic’s face, league sources said. Mirotic dropped to the floor and lay there for several minutes before getting up, league sources said.”
It was speculation on my part. The early details reported by Shams (who is generally very accurate) painted Portis as having cheap-shotted Mirotic. Obviously if Mirotic was the aggressor, that probably changes the way the Bulls’ front office views it. Of course, who knows what they’ll do. GarPax isn’t exactly known for great decision-making.
