Perk is expecting suspensions after brawl between Heat and Pelicans | SportsCenter

We are back on Sports Center Fight Night in New Orleans Kevin Love tying up with Zion and then Jimmy Butler got tossed Thomas Bryant Jose Alvarado this thing completely spiraled out of control Jimmy was actually returning from a three-game absence and then he left early

Himself I put my hand around his neck he put his hand around my neck and then it just you know it took off the way it did um people really um so I think a lot of your fans really love that term kind of like don’t

Poke the bear do you think like kind of with this tension and um the way everything kind of goes down um do you think you’ll carry a little bit of that tension into the next game oh the next time we play them yeah I mean sure uh we’ll beat him the next

Time too we’re just we’re just the better team I’m not going to say that um they’re not a good team but I I don’t think this really matters that’s a part of basketball I know a lot lot of fans don’t usually see it but if you play

Basketball enough you know and and it’s you know one guy’s best against another guy’s best it’s going to be some tension if everybody’s playing hard and that just that’s just what happened we knew to come back out be you know mentally ready for the physicality um and just

Stand within what we know to do I’m not really u a dude to do a lot of talking like once my teammates if you coming at my teammates I’m I’m with my teammates right around Kendrick Perkins joins us now I mean all I know is like if someone’s going to put

Their hands around my neck I’m probably going to go after them too but we’ve heard the whole concept that this is just something that happens in basketball do you agree with that or do you disagree I mean you know what I I mean there nothing wrong with a little

Pillow fight at times you know what I’m saying but I get it I get it they were sticking up for their franchise guy and Zion Williamson and it happens right we ask for sometimes we want these intent moments but you don’t want to cross the line and I’m pretty sure the NBA and

Adam Silva and Joe Dumar are going to be handing down some suspensions but again you love the competitive nature I didn’t think that Kevin Love fou was just that over the top he could have held them up a little bit more but things escalated you know yeah they escalated quickly

Yeah so hopefully hopefully you know nobody get a a lengthy EXT uh suspension well I’m sure we’ll find out in the next couple of days like it’s not going to be long before that comes out of the NBA office

  1. Zion is a clown takin a dive when love got em. Then the Heat punked their sry behinds. You don’t come at Jimmy like that

  2. Bunch of "HOL ME BACK" non sense. Aint nobody gon get suspended for stuff that happens all the time in the NBA.

  3. I hate it when vets and media act brand new. Y’all love that chippy fights and battles just as much as we do. Just stop it.

  4. Zion should be suspended for causing it with his flop. That was a standard take foul by Love. He flops to the ground then Marshall comes running in hot for no reason. Both Love and Butler were totally cool.

  5. 1:40 of course this is somethiG tht happens White Lady!! Especially ona Black top shidd Thts Outside Rules before the Nba if you Cant take ah lik Chip or ah Shove Go try lacrosse or Soccer!!! She sound almost as dumnb as tht cute reporter malika andrews just recite whtever they write up for yu to say wit no questions huh smh

  6. Simple solution. Call flagrant 1 on Kevin Love since excessive and bear hug Zion. Pelicans knew Zion is simply made up of marmallows and gummi bears, he would break easily. Butler likes to fight almost everyone, he put his hand on Naji throat 1st. If you looked at track record lots of big get injured playing against Heat. Asked Knicks, Nuggets, Celtics, Bucks, etc.

  7. The ones who should be suspended who keep allowing Zion Williamson to be brutally attacked game in and game out without any fouls being called. That is what led up to the incident last night, especially with the way Zion was thrown to the floor after getting bear hugged by Kevin Love. This one is totally on the refs and the NBA for letting this happen.

  8. "He could have held him up a little bit more…"
    To be fair, KLove did try, but we're talking about holding up Zion… It's not all that simple. 😉

  9. Even tho guys should be suspended, I give my utmost praise to the officials for not making ticky tack calls. They let them boys play, and I miss that!

  10. This was uncalled for dudes getting paid millions, to be a role model for these young kids. But instead they acting like a bunch of kids. Gro up

  11. Will there be some sort of lengthy “crossing the line” and counselling talk? Some tut tutting?
