Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, not everyone was happy about Chris Paul dropping 41 points
Patrick Beverley was ejected for shoving Chris Paul to the ground from behind last night. Beverley will likely be fined and suspended for a few games next season. Paul went on to lead the Suns to a 130-103 victory with the 11-time all star scoring 41 points. The win put the 16-year veteran into the NBA finals for the first time and the Suns first time since the Barkley-led team in 1993. Of course as Shaq reminds him all the time, Barkley didn’t win those finals. (Additional Out) Unfortunately for Barkley a guy named Michael Jordan also played that year.

Sources say Spears and her attorney still plan to file a petition to terminate the 13-year conservatorship. Apparently, we need another couple documentaries to make sure that happens. (Additional Out) But for now its over-bearing, coat-riding father 1, Free Britney Movement 0.
