It's not because his last, it's not because his first name is Musa.

It's because he attacks people the same way that he would if he had antlers.

That's exactly right.

I wouldn't say it was a, it was a head, but it was a, it was a, it was a forehead to forehead confrontation, which is, I will say a thing I've never really understood.

I've never been so angry at somebody to where I'm like, you know, I'm going to press my forehead against yours.

That's never happened with me.

But if it stopped it there, it's probably either nothing or double techs and everybody moves on and warnings are issued and then you can go forward.

Yeah, once you push a guy in the face, it's going to start some stuff.

It's totally going to start some stuff.

And it's also like the fact that it escalated from there is also why Durin gets two games.

Whereas like if he just pushes him and then...

Diabate doesn't really react for whatever reason, and everybody moves on.

Durant's probably ejected.

And maybe there aren't even suspensions coming out of it because it didn't escalate into something wild.

I mean, with Isaiah Stewart, I get it.

Him and one thing I'll say I get is I understand that Isaiah Stewart feels a loyalty to protect his teammates.

He and Durin are incredibly close.

Those guys are like brothers.

I wrote a feature about it about a month ago.

I spent a lot of time with the Pistons and wrote a feature about the competitive culture that those guys have instilled and really gone out of their way to try to embrace and how the Pistons as a team try to compete against each other in things that have nothing to do with basketball.
