Tensions are rising in the home stretch of the season, with all kinds of commotion popping up across the league. After Lu Dort clearly tripped Jokić this week, a full-on scuffle materialized in seconds. IT weighs in on the incident and how Lu Dort is emblematic of a certain kind of defensive player who makes questionable decisions in the heat of battle. In another heated moment, a fight nearly broke out after Tyler Herro taunted KD about his alleged burner accounts. And on the opposite coast, we saw Anthony Edwards get into it with his own coach last week after draining a dagger three. IT condemns using burner accounts, weighs in on the art of trash talk, and spells out what constitutes fair play when doing what it takes to win. 

IT and CJ also take a moment to appreciate NBC's revival of its 90s-era NBA coverage, share some excitement for the start of March Madness, and give out this week's No Days Off award to Minnesota's Jaden McDaniels, who's quietly one of the most impactful power forwards in the league today.

On this week’s episode we’re jumping into some college hoops talk as controversy has bubbled up around Darryn Peterson. Why is he going off in games and then benching himself when there’s still time on the clock? Will this kind of load management become more common in college sports as players gain more power? We also can’t help but compare Darryn and other top prospect AJ Dybantsa to past NBA greats like Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant. 

In other news, Adam Silver addressed blatant tanking during a league-wide conference call last week. C.J. and I.T. discuss the inevitability of tanking, but also explore potential solutions, including changing how the lottery system works. 

We also wanted to show some love to Steph Curry’s shoe game, weigh in on Pat Riley’s take that coaches should go back to wearing suits, and give love to Amen Thompson for doing his thing down in Houston.

This week's episode of Point Game is a special one! We're coming to you live from All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles with a live, energetic crowd. In the spirit of this year's All-Star Game we focused on all things LA: IT breaks down what it was like growing up as a Lakers fan in Seattle, playing for the Celtics as a Lakers fan, and then some quick memories from his two short stints played here in LA for his childhood favorite team alongside greats like Carmelo Anthony, Rajon Rondo, Dwight Howard, and of course LeBron James. IT also took some great audience questions, breaking down how he made the jump to super-stardom in Boston, how small guards can still make it in the NBA, and why he's so dedicated to building the basketball community in Seattle.
