OT: Duncan Robinson gets T for shoving Wagner

Submitted by BlueinKyiv on March 8th, 2020 at 9:01 PM

Just watching the Wizards - Heat game and after a failed offensive play, Wagner says something to Robinson as they were making it back down the court and Duncan shoves him from behind in front of the ref.  Robinson complained to the ref over what Wagner said.  Wagner certainly is always talking on the court but funny to see Duncan on the other end.

Robinson having a typical top notch game.  Has two blocks including rejecting Hachimura on a drive and 5 of 9 on three attempts.  Robinson leads his team on plus/minus and so does Wagner in far fewer minutes at this point (7 minutes left in close game).

Game ended in a Miami route 20 - 3 with Robinson adding two more threes over that period.  He finished 7 of 11 from three, 7 rebounds, the two impressive blocks, two fantastic dishes to Adebayu underneath, and his usual steal.  I thought Wagner was impressive in his 18 minutes even if he did not light up the scoreboard.  He had a strong euro-step to the rim on one drive where the Miami commentators stated that he is just too big for Adebayu to handle.  

As for the relationship, the cameras stayed on Robinson after the buzzard ended the game as they talked about him, he looked down toward the Washington end but then headed down the tunnel without going to greet any of the Wizards (though not that unusual for the NBA).

Robinson has raised his average to 13.3 a game on 45.3% 3pt shooting, and he's gone for 27,24, and 23 in his last 3 games.  

If keeps this going he will have a long NBA career.  

It's unfortunate that he struggled during the NCAA Tournament his senior year here because if he could have gotten it going like he obviously is capable of, we probably win the National Title.
